Services board is very hard to browse

My motion on this will be a "No".

Hiring participants in a signature campaign is correctly in that section along with people offering their services. New posts in the campaign threads are always vital information and by no means they are burying other people's threads. It is just how a forum works.

Exchanges, Mixers use the Service Announcements section but freelancing jobs should be in Services itself.

A signsture campaign doesn't fit the strict definition of a service that would be advertised via a job and. Job ads posted in service boards are about individual positions or tasks. A signsture campaign is what is says, a campaign. It is a very different nature of thread and honestly skews the visibility of normal [HIRING]/[FOR HIRE] posts in a service board. For the latter, the individual posting can only post once every 24hours in his own thread, for signsture campaigns, which we have dozens of, participants are forced to respond and therefore hide threads by individuals.

If your worry is remaining within the confines of the services section, sorry not, because bircointalk's software allows to create sub-boards.

You have failed to understand that it is even because of the presence of signature campaign services that the poor people's advert (according to you) is seen or noticed. If a separate board is created for signature campaigns, definitely no one or a few will visit the board of poor people's services.

You have failed to understand that the Services board was not originally created specifically for signature and bounty campaigns; they came much, much later. I don't deny that bounty campaigns are a form of Bitcoin-related services, but claiming that such a campaign is more important or popular than some other "poor people's" service is pure speculation. Do you have some metrics or stats to support such a statement?

Exchanges, Mixers use the Service Announcements section but freelancing jobs should be in Services itself.

"Exchanges" and "Web Wallets" have their own child boards under the "Service Discussion", why do you think campaigns can't have the same under the "Services" board?

Another thing to maybe make the services board more lively would be to create a new section for those seeking to hire people to do tasks. This way it's easier to browse sections separately based on if you want to hire or get hired and it would also make posting more attractive due to increased visibility.

If there is a dedicated board about a service that is different from the signature campaign, it will likely be very quiet. I think if you are confused about whose services you want to use then you can make a new post stating that you need someone with certain qualifications, I'm sure there will be many people who comment and offer their services.
