Actually, it is:

I dunno... that seems pretty commercial to me.

Interestingly enought it also goes against the "Limit your signature to two lines." rule.
First of all, what William put in his "personal signature" is his email address. That's not a commercial link to his own website.

Technically speaking, William's "official FT signature" in the public profile is "Thanks for voting in the 20th Annual Freddies!", as skofarrell clearly pointed out. That signature is a one-liner. Nothing against TOS, IMHO.

What chexfan questioned is the "personal signature" of Starwood Lurker. Our FT wisdom is not to put your email in any of your post to avoid spam. Yet, William chose to have his work email shown ^.

A lot different than someone wanting to shill something, like, say Amway via a link on a sig.

The world is not black and white. I have no problem with the Lurker's sig.
+1.

I don't see any problem with William's personal signature either, for the above quoted reason.
