I think the limit is impossible to define mathematically.

I would permit even carpet shop, if it would be you, because the link in signature is extremely unobtrusive (you don't have to click it, if you want, and if it says "my carpet shop", I will simply not click it unless I'm interested into carpets).

It would be you taking advantage of U++ forums, but so what? You are active U++ member doing lot of good for U++, so why can't U++ do this little bit of good for you back? I think that would be ok.

I'm maybe too permissive in this, but it feels to me sort of BSDish this way. Smile

I would not find this ok with people who don't contribute, write just 1-2 posts with as much value as "Hey, I'm using this solution too, thank you!", and put the link into signature. Those should buy ads.

And this shows I'm more GPLed, then BSDish, requiring people to give back, not just to take away...

Hehe, confusing stuff. I think the best thing is to mark offending posts and let administrators to decide. If somebody objects his link was removed, he can start the discussion, and we can take closer look then. I think this way only very little damage will be done, and we will catch most of the disgusting cases of pure abuse of situation (which I don't like).
