Not sure what you mean by post count restrictions, but we limit how many links you can have in your signature and don't allow new forum members to even have a signature because spammers often register an account and just place spam links in their signature. We had a big problem with spammers doing this in the past, so we had to come up with rules to help rid off spammers and it seems to work well now.
There's no reason for newcomers to place a sig right off the bat, frankly I don't think new users deserve to advertise a link at the bottom of each of their posts. I personally believe that I should change the minimum post count requirement to an even higher number so only people who frequent the forums can have a signature. In the future I might up the number to something like 25 posts before they can get a signature. I would be happy to add a new field to the user info area above posts where users could put their Pligg site link, since thats what most signatures are for. Lately I've been seeing people placing 5 links in their signature to completely unrelated websites even though the forum rules state that you can only have 3 links and 2 of them should point to a Pligg site.
