topic, thanks for answering.
post with sig-campaigns are often really bad - although usually they are still just barely on topic so they dont get deleted.
Define "often really bad"...any stats to back that up? For everyone 1 bad post there are 100 good ones.
For campaigns like Yobit, they do not impose any section restriction and results in spammer in those sections irrelevant to Bitcoin like off-topic. Their posts in Bitcoin sections aren't constructive either.

For campaigns that are stricter and are not bot counted, the quality is significantly better if they go through a selection process. The problem isn't with signature campaigns but it is with the method of managing them.
They're a source of earnings in the community. You can easily ignore them. There are some chrome extensions out there. Some block well known signatures.
Better yet, there's a feature in profile settings that allow any one of us to not see the signatures of other posters. It's amazing that people don't use this feature.
Disclaimer: My campaign does not pay me for this post or any posts in Meta.As said, there are many spammers in the forum and they do not contribute actively to the discussion. There is no use even if you block the signature. That feature is more for people who find fancy signatures annoying.
