As long as it is not any product or site promotion. The forum software doesn't support any automatic signatures so you have to type it or paste it.

Using your profile is preferred...

CNET does support automatic signatures, but only for recognized staff members of companies that provide free support via the CNET forums. Thus, posts from Microsoft, Samsung, Norton, etc. representatives may display such, but posts from members and moderators will not.

In addition, as Bob said, promotion is strictly prohibited. Therefore, with few exceptions, we will edit/delete any posts that reference a website, company, Facebook page, etc. unless it's relevant to the thread and not blatantly spammed. You can include your name, professional title, and the like, but beyond that it should go in your CNET profile instead.

Regards,
John
