Reddit does not have any better quality discussions and there is no incentive to post there except for collecting karma but collecting karma is enough for people to post things that they know will get them karma instead of real discussions so I think it is a problem of culture and not a problem limited to the forum.
Signature campaigns keep this forum alive as much as we might not like to admit to it doing that but it creates activity and we are very low on activity atm if people were not getting paid and not earning btc then btc would probably be less used to because a lot of signature campaign participants cannot offer their services for payment in btc but can offer advertising services by posting good posts.
Yeah, all that echo chambering and karma farming is rampant. Classic Reddit. Wait until you come across r/cryptocurrency, the amount of shills for shitcoin X only to sing a different tune about it days later just for the MOON becomes the norm. But let's say if it's just r/bitcoin then the posts are hardly incentivized. Let's forgo the karma thingy because that helps keep popular/ top comments where they belong. Tipping is a thing but not everyone does that so posting more doesn't guarantee one gets paid. Back to the signature campaigns, I'm not against them. Knowing that everyone needs money, this place will be almost as dry as a Sahara desert if it does away with bounties as well. Let's be real. Shitposters are the byproducts but that's the small price to pay to remain relevant in this kind of business model.

I always read quotes I get, and people wearing signature comments aren't spammy as people make them out to be. Internet is huge place, you can look elsewhere if you don't like it here.

Agreed, plus the spam has been drastically reduced after the merit system implement. Anyone with a naked eye can notice the decrease in forum activity and less spams already. (especially the OP, since his account is open since 2014). I find the technical boards very informative now with full of educated replies. I always read quotes I get, and people wearing signature comments aren't spammy as people make them out to be.
And guess why such threads are made by ppl who aren't in a signature campaign ? Or maybe never get accepted in any, due to obvious reasons (in the OP's case, its a negative trust feedback given by a DT member).

I use Reddit to keep up to date with things happening in btc because a lot of members post the contents of the post without needing to click on the news site because I disagree with giving news sites which are spreading fud or click baiting money. Any way the /r/Bitcoin and /r/cryptocurrency are both the same and have less quality then this forum. A lot of meme posts and a lot of people saying that they just bought their 1st btc. No real discussion happening but people know what to post to get the karma so they will continue posting the same thing over and over. This forum at least has some good discussion.

Guess the title says it, can we have a true talk without it for the sake of it about Bitcoin? Not like you're paid to say something.
Believe me, this will significantly reduce traffic to this site. Many people come here to learn, but what keeps most of them active in the forum is the signature paid campaign; if it stops, not only will the site lose traffic, but the casinos that mostly advertise here will also lose customers because their advertisements here increase their visibility and patronage. Whatever the reason for people joining this forum, as long as the main goal of the forum is established, they should have no problem with what is going on here in terms of forum discussions.

Sir are you not getting the right answer from all the posters that are participants in the signature campaign? One of the most important rules and guidelines laid out by the bounty manager to all the signature participants is to provide the best possible answers in all the discussions, if you are good at something then why not get paid for doing this is a good incentive for thinking of the best possible answers. All questions are answered here in this forum, some even go to the extent of doing research to get the right answers.

You could make a local rule where you stop people with advertising signatures from posting in the topic and then report them when they do.
This isn't in anywhere close to the solution at all. How do you ascertain those who posted when they had no signature on and then a few days or weeks later they enrol in a signature campaign. We know how users' campaign logos change to the most recent once they're activated and won't show the recent past. It's the same thing that happens when they didn't have a logo on but later have one.

Yes mate there is some social media platform such as reddit, twitter, telegram and etc. You could discuss there without any post incentive or annoying signature. But we cant fan out it on forum cause its always here. Probably out of 10 people maybe only 99% is only one there not wearing signature and posting his opinion. Signature campaign is here for a reason and not to sugarcoat money related. But it is one way to make the forum be more attractive place for discussion.

While signatures can be a helpful way to promote projects or services, they can also be seen as spam if they are not relevant to the discussion at hand. Some users choose to disable signatures or post in forums where signatures are not displayed to avoid being bombarded with irrelevant advertising.
However, it is important to note that signature campaigns are a legitimate way for some individuals to earn cryptocurrency, and enforcing a blanket rule against them may not be fair to those participants. Instead, local rules could be put in place to prevent users with advertising signatures from posting on certain topics, and they could be reported if they violate those rules.
Ultimately, it is up to forum moderators to strike a balance between allowing signature campaigns while also preventing spam and ensuring that discussions remain relevant and productive. Users can also do their part by being mindful of their signature content and only posting it in appropriate contexts. Without signature campaign, I think this forum will actually shrink the number of active users. If signature campaigns are disabled or banned, I really don't know how contributors will benefit from their contributions. I know they don't expect to be paid for their contribution, but signature campaign hopefully keep them motivated in the forum. So the signature campaign has something quite positive for both the forum and the users, and the spam issue just needs to be reported and handled.

Let me get this straight, you are bothered by people who wear signatures and their motivations for posting on Bitcointalk? At the same time, a third of your forum posts were written in the Micro Earnings forum probably finding alternative ways to earn some sats. Not only that, but your second favorite board is the Bitcoin Discussion, notoriously known for spam. You tried to get into a signature campaign, it didn't work, so you are now taking what you can and trying to destroy that which didn't work for you for others. Nice!
I don't remember ever seeing you post in technical discussions or anywhere where real quality is shared. Think about it this way. Tomorrow, you mess something up and can't recover your bitcoin. You create a thread in the technical subs hoping someone can help. Who do you think will have the knowledge and patience to help you, eh? Whose advice will help you regain access to your coins? Let me help you, 9/10 of the best advice will have signatures under their names. 6 /10 of those will wear a ChipMixer signature. Those are the people who will help you and teach you when you need help.
The problem is not the signature. Filter out the information you don't like. If someone is spamming, report their posts. If you don't like how someone is posting, ignore that user.

Sure. we can do that. There is board in forum called Serious discussion that doesn't allow signature advertisement, and for even more serious discussion without any kind of advertising or junk posts there is Ivory Tower sub-board. Second option you have is to create self-moderated topic, you are moderator and you can allow only discussion without advertisement, deleting anything you consider spam. You can also have a discussion in Off-topic section, but there are other type of problems in that board.

Like it or not, signature campaigns is what keeps Bitcointalk afloat in terms of traffic and activity. If you personally think that post quality is bad because of signatures, you can start a self-moderated thread and simply delete the replies that you deem useless/spammy. Alternatively, probably try the Serious Discussion[1] section(though it's a general discussion section, not necessarily a Bitcoin one). You can also help contribute concerning post quality by reporting posts that you deem useless/spammy.
[1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=250.0I couldn't agree any less with you and there are boards and thread where signature posts aren't counted and I'm sure every discussion over there should be a serious one. And one reason people troop into the forum is the value they get from here. Rather than complaining over post quality, why not take some time to access these posts and report them by so doing, you're helping keeping the community clean.
