The General Your signature has been slammed before for your habbo development discord link which you now have as your title. Which very much is in the spirit of what Global Rule #27 is trying to prevent. Congrats on finding the loophole in the rule, others use the location spot. These loopholes may close in the future.
Pretty sure we've never nuked a person's signature for harmless things like gamer tags, but if you post a link to a dev discord or private server discord, expect a nuke incoming. I personally will try to be more allowing of RZ discord tags in signatures as long as they aren't being used nefariously. Other than that, Global Rule #27 serves a purpose and will definitely be enforced.
Before I just had the follwing in my signature which also got removed:

Plenty of people who link to their own website which then has a link to their own discord account / servers. Is that allowed? Linking to any other website which contains the link?
Retro development on RZ is dead anyways, You're not missing out on anything and it isnt siphoning users away. Pretty much everyone in there has an RZ account. And if you had a look around, you'd see I pretty much copy over everything from RZ to discord or the other way around. Nobody is missing out on anything. Besides that, its pretty dead anyways.
Ultimately, choosing to use the RZ forum is the user's choice, The RZ discord was created mostly as a place to chill and talk without the usual forum rules, much the same as spamzilla, as far as I know.
Kind of ironic once you realize RZ runs a discord server? So much for trying to keep the conversation on the forums. There is a place for whatever is discussed on the RZ discord on the forums.

development discords and other off-forum forms of communication harms the forum and community who rely on it.
Not linking to other platforms is harming it because its pretty much censorship and therefor a lot of people abandon these forums and move to other places where they can freely communicate and link to other platforms. Twitter, devbest, github, their own forums etc.
And I get it, you dont want competition or allow people to advertise other forums that offer the same features as RZ.
But please clear up the rules.
Allow gamer tags in signature?
Allow social media tags in signature?
Allow linking to other websites?
Allow linking to other websites who redirect you to other forums / social media / gaming platforms?
Allow linking to other websites that have a static button that redirects you to other forums / social media / gaming platforms?
People are allowed to advertise their private servers and link to their websites where they link to their discord server.
