Kendra, you violated the TOS by posting an offsite link in your signature. Why are you allowed to do this, and we get banned for it? I kinda think people are getting sick of waiting it out. I've only been back for 2 months and a bit and I hate it here already. If not for the handful of friends I have here I'd have turned around at the door.
Additionally, offsite linking to other marketplaces or freestuff sites are not allowed within the forum, gallery, or forum signatures. For example: Links to competing stores like Daz3d.com, RuntimeDNA.com, etc are not allowed. However, links to non-competing stores like Etsy.com or Ebay.com are acceptable.
Links to known, safe, established websites are not being banned. If you want to link to a tutorial on YouTube or Lynda.com, info on Smith Micro or DAZ, and links. What Renderosity don't want is your link to land at a competing marketplace however as you can see Daz and SM mentioned there are info sheets and tutorials etc that are useful and there is no issue linking to those.
It also appears they are not keen on the personal websites, blogs and sharing freebie/files via dropbox and google drive etc. As for signatures there would be nothing stopping you from putting for example - Madbat01/ShareCg etc as long as it is not a link.
