Signature campaign on the new forum?

[Astargath]

Well, you see, the signature campaigns are not really the problem. People abusing them create the problems and I always said that stricter rules should be applied to signature campaign participants. The spam would eventually be lower if every signature spammer gets banned, unfortunately right now, that's not the case. You can find blatantly obvious spammers in the off-topic section or games and rounds.

If you're not doing anything to prevent the spammers, you should be the last one complaining considering you too have a signature. If yobit spammers are spamming, go for hilarious , if secondstrade participants are spamming report them in their campaign thread. Both campaigns(only ones which count off-topic and games and rounds posts) are effectively removing the spammers. And if any other participants are spamming(tolerable to a certain extent) in other boards, try contacting mods, from what I've seen nearly all are quite friendly and responsive.
As for signature campaigns, any amount of complaining will not stop them on the forum. Where do all of you think 60%+ of pageviews come from? From people refreshing their "Show new replies to your posts." , unread posts or Watchlist. Theymos has stated his verdict on the matter already and from what I've seen he rarely changes his opinion

You are always very passive/aggressive in your posts, you too used a signature by the way. Now, how can you know I'm not doing anything to help? I am, I report a spammer whenever I see one, I don't have many reports but I got 100% accuracy. I just said stricter rules and more mod participation in the problem would be nice, is not the users job to find spammers, hackers, trolls, etc. Thats why you have mods, isn't it?

OT but yes, what does it prove?

2 Months ago(IIRC) , please point me to one post where I have complained about a sig spammer(without doing anything about it myself) when I myself had a signature

Good, keep it up

Admins and mods are fairly tolerant of where to draw the line at spam post. Oh and yeah, new rule made in Off-topic today, should stop most of the Off-topic yobit spam.

is not the users job to find spammers, hackers, trolls, etc.

It takes time to find, if you want to check how much work mods are already doing check mod log. If you're going to complain all-day about sig spammers, least you can do is point them to the spammers and if you're doing so, good.

Thats why you have mods, isn't it?

Mods are voluntary members who devote their time to the forum, and have been "proven" to be have good decision skills(as to qualifying a spammy user). In addition to the fact that they are barely compensated by forum ads, you want them to go through(which hilarious is already doing AFAIK) each and every post in off-topic?

Edit: Blame my "good mood" on the signature, when you are no-longer bound to create helpful posts so that others won't point out that you are a plain sig spammer. Try removing your sig for about 3 months, either you'll not post very less or make aggressive posts like me.

Signature campaigns ain't gonna ended on the new forum due to that fact that they aren't just beneficial to users of this forum, but they are useful and are the life of this forum as many users are here just because of these campaigns, and everyone has to admit it...

I hope that theymos will remove or limit the signature space for a few months, just a little test to see how things will change (less spam, more constructive contents).

Really doubt that would happen, but it would be nice to see. I get paid a flat rate regardless of posts and wish all campaigns were like that. I would be good with no more campaigns around here. It is a shame so many abuse them because they are a good idea and are effective for advertisers. I guess the issue is to some people it is a lot of money so they abuse it to get paid.

I rarely visit those sections anyway, so I really don't care whether people spam over there.  It's the interesting topics that relate to bitcoin that I can't stand people shitposting in.  Fortunately the mods here do a decent job of deleting posts that are crap--and I've had a few of mine deleted, and I'm cool with that. 

A few months ago I probably would have been against having signatures, but I bit the bullet and joined one and it's fun to earn bitcoin by posting.  I was always fascinated by the concept as I'd never seen something like it in other forums, but I saw all the spammers and hated it for a long time.

If there is to be a signature-free period, that's going to be very interesting to observe. Will there be a brief renaissance of the level of discussion that our elders are pining for, or will it be 500 pages of screaming about where the sigs are at? I think it may be too late to return to the golden days but I'll be waiting with interest.

[butragenjo]

they check your posts and spamming is not allowed. Dont worry about the signature campaigns,more peoples is here for earning some satoshi.

[arbitrage]

I don't see nothing bad in those campaigns.
You have lot of spamming and without them!
It is on moderators and campaigns administrators, to ban those who doing spam!
