Example:

"That's a great theme !!!!
If you want to adjust your header, check the h1 in the CSS

Bob
www.all-the-best-teen-porn.com | www.blackhatSEO.com
www.learn-to-splog.com | www.this_is_not_warez.com "

All legal.
He helps people.
And we allow those links - and that's only 2 lines.

That's why I think sigs should not be allowed.
It adds unnecssary crap to the forum and causes clutter. URL's in posts
other than "Your WordPress" should be pertinent.

And for what it's worth, I have never seen my involvement in the forums
as an "investment". I saw - and see - it as helping people who are stuck.
