Title: allow topic starters to remove signatures. Post by: o0o0 on October 18, 2017, 01:27:35 AM how about if topic creators could tock a box to not display peoples signatures? would invalidate sig campaign miners posts due to no displayed sigs.
would attract more non spam posts and be opt in so as a topic creator you click it. only negatively impacts sig spammers as they’ll have to posts actual questions in those topics as no reward to them. thoughts?

I found that when I made self-modded threads the expected number of replies declines significantly.
The feature won't see that much use anyway considering the fact that most threads nowadays are started for the sake of spam. Title: Re: allow topic starters to remove signatures.

Shitposters will still create spam threads as well but it would be nice to have some actual threads that didn't quickly degrade into drivel.

It's far too time consuming and a massive headache to remove all the shitposts. Most people who self-mod just give up pretty quickly. |
