To be eligible to display a signature with each post, you must be a member of FlyerTalk for at least 90 days and have contributed 90 posts to the community. "Post padding" or other methods to artificially inflate a post count in order to add a signature are a violation of the ToS and will result in disciplinary action.

It is a recent change... and it was a stickied announcement in the Community forums a few days before it took effect.

Given the number of times (especially since I'm on FT in the wee hours) I've had to RBP new FT members who have spammy signature links, I think this is far from a negative move.
90/90 is probably a bit excessive--spammers usually have 1-5 posts, so 30/30 would probably be a good compromise. Generally, though, it seems to take much more than 90/90 for people to realize what a signature is, so it's probably not much of an issue...
