Ignore list of mass paid signature advertisement users (4200+ users)

[gadman2]

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

You have been removed from the list.

Do you think its strange.

How some people put all their effort and energy into programs designed to censor or block people?

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 ! 

Well ? Have you heard of it ? Tried it ?
It is made by a mod here eh.. "GRUE"

The list has been updated.

I love how I am in the list when I actually have a Ledger Wallet sig that I only get paid for if someone clicks and buys it Not useless sig spam XD

I have set this thread to a daily scripted autobump.

I just read some older posts in this thread and found this, he is using script to post that same inaccurate message here everyday.
Complaining about paid signature posters while he himself is spamming so much he doesn't even have time to do it manually xD

Well, he does say in his first post that any users with (pay per post) sigs are bad "no matter the quality of the post above it.", maybe he also thinks that if you have no sig or paid per click sig (like he has) your posts automatically are high quality posts "no matter the quality of the post above it."

Thanks for this!

Gaudy is accurate when it comes to most paid sigs here!

[SuperVillain]

I met so many people with signatures i don't want to miss something interesting

I feel all signature advertisement campaigns, and their respective users, are detrimental to the integrity board no matter the quality of the post above it.

You will miss out on posts from various groups, e.g. some staff members (e.g. hilarious, me, sometimes mprep),

Add me to your ignore list if you feel my posts or this thread has the same effect as the mass of paid signature users. Since this topics level of understanding is well above yours, that's the only recommendation I have for you.

Nah, I have never got that butthurt of anyone's posts here that I would have needed to ignore them.
Thanks for the recommendation though, but isn't it already quite obvious I am not interested using ignore list since I am criticizing your ignore list?

Since your criticism has very little constructive advice and more so taunts of childish-typical internet flares (eg: "butthurt" and your other condescending pots here), I choose not to discuss any of your irrelevant concerns and only my above offer is, again, your best option.

I try not to get into these arguments with your average Internet user and it still surprises me when I see myself begin to write responses like this one. I wrote this one in attempts that other users with similar posts to yours on this thread will notice it as well. Likewise, our conversation is over on my end. Continue if you must.

Edit. You do have a valid concern about the script posting that the thread is updated when indeed it hasn't. I'll adjust the message as soon as I can.

Good to see that you were able to understand my point about the script and admit that you were wrong. (tomorrow it will probably just post "bump" but whatever, lol)

And only reason why I am using words like "butthurt" is that you also write in quite condescending ways in your posts (eg: "simple minded hissy-fits" or "this topics level of understanding is well above yours")

Or is it childish only because my "taunts of childish-typical internet flares" are not extended to 3-4 words or more like yours are? Well, you do have a valid concern there next time I will say "An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult" instead of simply saying "butthurt", will that be up to your scolding standards?

Looks like you've added 99% of the forum including the moderators and now want people to PM you to be taken off the list? Why would someone do it? You did not care about their opinion and put them on ignore without thinking if their posts were on topic and now you think they will come asking to be taken off? What a buffoon.

The 3800 ignored users are ~ 0.4% of the user base at the time of me writing this.

I only want users to PM me if they've removed their paid signature, which they can PM me. Ignored users can PM the users who have them ignored.

True, I have attempted to blocked anyone with a paid signature without considering their topics or quality of post. But, as said before in this thread many times, this campaign of mine [or a few] is about how the overall quality of posts among the forum has reached such as massive level of degradation due to paid signature advertising. Of course there are many examples of quality posts within the 3800 users that are helpful, professional, courteous, and of high quality; I do not deny this. But you must realize the lesser quality material vastly outweighs the greater quality material. I firmly believe without mass paid signature advertising, we would have the vice versa, or at least many magnitudes less of the lesser quality material. If you don't believe me, take look at any forum thread from 2009 to 2014 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=xxxx and replace xxxx with any number from 1 to ~900000). I feel these facts are indisputable. Take it or leave it.

To date, any post on this thread has been mostly complaints of possible higher quality posts being ignored or other silly irrelevant concerns. I would like to note that nobody has attempted to solve the problem that the list is addressing, massive forum degradation. It seems everyone who has replied is just peachy with the bulk of today's users monetizing the board and accounts... or.... a part of the problem themselves. I believe that says a lot in itself.

This is a scriped auto-bump. The list may have been updated.

[Spoetnik]

Well here is the link if you guys never seen it..
Signature Adblock Script [0.5.0]

It's made a moderator here Grue and he did a good job.. it still works great.

I added a FAQ to the first post in this thread last night. I feel that may give you an answer as to why I don't block all signatures.

Another problem with this list is that most people on it probably don't even know they are on it.
I too was on that list for long time (even without any signature) before I coincidentally found this thread and was able to get myself removed from it.

You don't do anything to let people know they have been added on this list.
If you can't check your lists accuracy from time to time then you should at least pm people when you add them so they know to inform you after they have removed their signature.
Right now half of the people on that list may not actually belong on that list anymore.

As it happens, users add and remove mass paid signatures all the time and it is not plausible for anyone to sift through and routinely check. This is why I placed that responsibility in the hands of the user. I can individually track the ones who request to be off the list as I have a record within my pm box to make sure they simply don't re-add one after I've taken them off the list. It's a small price to pay, yes.

I do like the idea of pming each user on the list. I wonder what is the most users that can be applied to the send-to function within smf... I'll look into this later.
