In some signature campaigns, participants must post in a special Ann Thread. That is against the forum rules.
Users participate in such campaigns get banned from using signatures.
No that's not why.
Wish campaigns would only accept sr members and up, or failing that, theymos would permanently ban noobs from campaigns. The sbeer number of people who can't read or write is staggering, and it's because they're being paid to post. Nothing new, just adding a bitch.
That is the ANN thread which is constantly being bumped because it is one of the criteria of the campaign for their users to get paid. As a result, all the members receive a 30 or 60 day ban for their signature spaces.
I've seen many campaigns did that same thing as that ANN thread however, the bump posts seem to be spammy and therefore not even contributing at the least bit.
