Does the Ignore list support the search via ''Ctrl+F"?

We have NEVER had a paid signature campaign. Every link in our signature is to a site in our network. Please remove from list.

You have been removed. I'll get it in the next update. Thanks for making me aware. I'm sure there are more examples like this on the list.

@ the previous replies, I just woke up and have to go to work. There are several good points and I'll address your concerns shortly.

[BitcoinBarrel]

Thanks for quick response 

My personal opinion is that overall the Signature Campaigns help boost the Bitcoin economy. You have many people who are new to Bitcoin that might not have many skills to earn BTC online, and Signature campaigns is a good way to start. Of course, I agree that low-quality posting can be annoying, but that is an issue on any Forum especially with Ranks. Cutting signature campaigns won't solve the low quality posting problem, only deleting posts/banning will do the trick there.

That's for keeping the list updated. It makes the forums so much better 
No really your list helps a ton

I have no paid signature, just my own blog but feel free to do as you please, I too have people on ignore, but not for sig spamming.
Only for personal reasons like verbal abuse to me.

In certain way I agree with your attitude. Myself participated in few sig. campaigns but have to end it because I'm not talkative enough to fulfill the campaign requirements and had to make some not fully relevant posts so I know what you are talking about.
But I'm pretty sure there is lot of users who deserves the rewards because they make relevant post in much higher counts than what is required from them. Just be aware the simple generalization is not always fair.

IMO The vast amount of guilt rest on shoulders of campaign operators because they require min. amount of posts thus forcing users to make useless comments, threads etc. In this I fully agree with you.
But for what is the signature space for if not for promoting my favorite sites, services etc?

Currently my signature contains reflinks to my favorite services (  which in certain way is also kind of paid signature ) but I won't beg you to remove me from your list.
Because to be honest: I don't care .. list whoever you want. I would care if you would personally check every single listed user and point out his misconduct. 

P.S How about activity hunters? To me they cause very same harm to forum quality. What about making list of everybody who create new post ( in general )?

There is quite a few high ranking trusted members in your list. 

I'd confidently say that as a newer user utilizing this list you would most likely have a higher chance of getting scammed since you are ignoring trusted members of the community and allowing brand new accounts to have prime real estate in discussions.

Hello gadman have you ever tried this solution

Your> "Profile, "Look and Layout Preferences" >>> "Don't show users' signatures."

Probably only a handful knows this list and no one cares about it too.

Don't confuse people here with common sense.. the OP's left eye is twitching by now i bet.
Guess what ?
You are on his ignore list now 

[Holdaaja]

Can you take my name off?
I haven't been in any signature campaigns for last 4 months now.

[HOT_HEAD]

Why block people on forum? I don't think there is anything wrong with getting some bitcoin while you are posting here as long as it doesn't turn into a mindless spam, then I can understand, but if someone is in signature campaign and would be posting here either way regardless of signature campaigns, then he might actually be a decent user here and would not spam.

That's not the idea behind these ignore lists. Granted, part of the problem may be solved by removing the signatures themselves however the huge amounts of spam and shit posting that comes along with it is still there, even with signatures turned off.

I don't think there is anything wrong with getting some bitcoin while you are posting here as long as it doesn't turn into a mindless spam, then I can understand,

The problem is that a large number of people posting with paid signatures produce nothing but mindless spam.

but if someone is in signature campaign and would be posting here either way regardless of signature campaigns, then he might actually be a decent user here and would not spam.

OP has shown in his first reply to this thread that he isn't interested in unblocking anyone with a paid signature as they are endorsing the root of the problem. While I do not agree with him at all, and I believe he is severely missing out by blocking people such as staff members and high quality posters, I can understand his stance.

[eddie13]

I haven't used a paid sig in a long time but you can keep me on your list for all I care..

I do not completely disagree with your position but think these are quite extreme measures.. 

[Spoetnik]

Hey gadman2 did you ever try out Grue's SIG blocking script for browsers ?
I have been using it on Firefox and it works VERY well ! 

[Holdaaja]

The list has been updated.

No it is not... Your post is last edited December 30th.

Stop spamming this same massage here every day.
I have now checked new posts in this thread like ten times lately and every time only "new" post here is your useless repost of "the list has been updated" when in reality it has not been updated at all for last 14 days.

And you are complaining about other users low quality posts lol

Interestingly enough I saw his firearms thread a couple months ago and was going to contact him in the future.  Last month when I noticed this thread I realized I don't think I have the ability to contact him via PM since I'm on his ignore list and took a trip to the local store instead.  I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to choose to alienate certain groups of individuals, but I don't think it's a smart business decision.

It would be wise for him to focus his time & effort on fixing/creating his website as I'm not quite sure why he keeps bumping this thread with no edits/changes as holdaaja pointed out above.  He should focus on his website because the #1 item in his HOW TO ORDER is instructing to email him at his active website address.

1. Most important: Get with your local FFL and let them know that you would like to have a gun shipped to them and that they will need to email a copy of their signed and VALID FFL to Admin@hometownarms.com.
    - I do not accept fax.
    - A high resolution photo will suffice as long as all words and writings (signatures) are clearly visible.

That's ridiculous he's requiring someone to send their signed and valid FFL to a non-existent website with no support/information whatsoever.  Give a gmail address or something if the website isn't functional, anyone can purchase a domain with no technical experience and choose Admin@domainname for their email address.

His site is listed right under his image, he should care as I'd expect a prospective buyer would visit the site before starting the firearms process with him.
