I run several blogs and if someone wants to drop a link for contributing they should be able to. I think some webmasters get confused by what spam actually is.
Just my opinion
if your whole point of registering here is to "drop the link" to your site, then yes, it is spam ;-).

now if you participate in forums and genuinly use our software, then we dont care.
