2) Penalize bounty campaigns and ICO's that use bumping by shit-posting by displaying their thread permanently on page 10 or a special penalty page which reduces the size of their images and fonts.
That sounds an interesting proposal LOL however, isn't it gonna create extra loads for the mods/admins? They are already overloaded with tasks I am sure. We need a solution which can reduce the loads they have on them now.
Maybe trusted users can "report" the thread and x number of reports from reliable users get the thread locked for a period of time. (automatic time lock).
Even a bot could be used to do some of that automatically. On a forum I was a moderator on they used a bot to get rid of spam.
1) Allow forum moderators to penalize users by revoking signature display rights for a month for poor posting habits.
That is something I suggested some time ago,
That just proves it is a good idea and you thought about it first.

I saw a lot of thread asking about this kind of proposal here in the forum but I think it needs more MODs to that task.
I agreed as what mdayonliner says they are loading of doing a task as of now.
I felt guilty about this because I know I'm not a good poster.
Perhaps a bot can be used to detect common poor quality posts.
There are some clever people on this forum that have created some amazing analytics which could be used for feeding data to a bot.

It seems a good idea to me but if that was implemented we would soon see hundreds of posts on meta like: Why has my signature disappeared? And the like. Posts complaining about the merit system would be nothing compared to that.
On a forum I used to clear of spam they had a rule. Any complaints about temporary bans resulted in a permaban. The signature could be replaced with a notice like "this user has received a signature ban for 7 /14/ 30 days for posting spam".
An automatic timer could lift the ban.

A little bit similar with this one for signature campaign, but its ban.
Campaign Participants:
Staff do not want to hand out bans for unconstructive posts but if we feel that you as a user are continually making very poor or unsubstantial posts due to your paid signature the following bans will be issued:
First offence: 7 days
Second offence: 14 days
Third offence: 30 days
Fourth: Permanent ban

How about locking their thread for someday (ex. first warn is 3 days)? But moderators will have extra works for this one.
3) Provide preferential listing on page 1 for ICO's and Bounty campaigns that pay to be listed there. Rather than paying an army of shills they could be paying bitcointalk to be listed on the first (featured) page.
Looks good, but how about scam ICO that pay for to be on featured page? It will bring a negative side for bitcointalk, except it need some extra research for it.
I like those ideas. Especially the one about locking the thread. It could be a timed lock so the moderator doesn't have to manually unlock it.
It can be made clear that the ICO's are not endorsed by Bitcointalk and that they pay to be featured on the front page. - just like with TV and newspaper advertising.
Perhaps there can be a reward program in place for campaigns that discourage spam and low quality posts.
