Let's see if there are any forum members really trying to defend ad sig posting

[CIYAM]

So rules in this topic are simple.

If you have an ad-sig I delete your post - so if you are an ad-sig poster and want to defend ad-sig posting then you can simply create a brand new account with no ad-sig and post away.

BTW - a sig that is not part of any ad-sig campaign is generally not considered an "ad-sig" (for those who want to argue minutia) although that will very much depend upon any links that the sig might have.

The point of this topic?

I believe that ad-sig posters make posts to make money (and generally make very poor quality posts). For those that want to "prove" that they don't then simply "drop your ad-sig" (or create a new alt) and prove it.

My friends on the Philippines on one of the poorest places are making a living out of sig campaigns, if it wasn't for it they would be literally malnourished. Bitcoin saved their lives and improved their life quality a lot.

Sig campaigns are literally the most useful Bitcoin has ever been.

Everything is for money. No exceptions.

[CIYAM]

My own sig contains no link to any commercial website or any way I can actually obtain funds so to imply that is an "ad-sig" is stretching things to a rather ridiculous level (to be expected of trolls though).

Everything is for money? Then explain why I code?

(hint - what is "open source" really about)

[CIYAM]

Here is an interesting thing - now I am unable to hit the "quote" button on any of the posts above.

Why is that?

(it says the post is not there)

Perhaps you have enough money (earned in the past)? Or may be you wanna earn money by coding.

[CIYAM]

Then your statement "everything is for money" is clearly incorrect in my case.

(I'd quote you but the forum software is not allowing me to - which is kind of strange)

I do not see any problems. May be this is a feature/bug for the owners of self-moderated topics?
Anyway you can use

Code:

[quote]text[/quote]

manually

[CIYAM]

Maybe this is a new bug - as I can't even see your post when I click on Watchlist (it is simply not showing up and complaining that the topic has "gone" if I hit the "quote" button).

I have never seen this before in self-moderated topics (and the topic is in my watchlist).

Perhaps it is related to the topic having being moved?

(I am well aware how to manually do "quotes" but interestingly now no replies are happening - so my guess is that something has gone "funny" with this topic or you all got immediately bored with it - if it is the latter then I'll lock it shortly)

[CIYAM]

Well - interesting that I was unable to "quote" any posts nor see any of them from the Watchlist (and as no further posts have occurred then seemingly no-one else can see replies also).

If I was into conspiracy theories I would think that "ad-sig" mods had somehow accomplished this feat.
