I did not realize the signatures get so much hate around here. I added one because they never bothered me and they pair a nice amount of money for a student, for posting. I still won't post just for the heck of it.
There are some signature campaigns though that I really don't approve of, namely ponzis that pay well to get people add their ads. But prime-dice seems fair. Well, maybe it's time to reconsider the signature.
It's not the signature that's a problem.
It's the number of people who know nothing, and don't really care to pay attention to and participate in the discussions at hand, but rather create hundreds of nonsense posts and spread ridiculous amounts of bad advice in an attempt to both increase their post count (for a higher payout) and fool the sponsor into thinking that they are actively participating.
Initially, I wasn't even paying attention to the sigs. I was just clicking ignore on people when I noticed they had posted a lot of junk. Recently though I've noticed that the majority of the time, the people I'm "ignoring" have primedice ads in their sig. Eventually, I found that it was easier to just click "ignore" on EVERY person with a primedice ad, and only "unignore" them if I see a quote from them in someone else's post indicating that they actually had something intelligent and useful to say.
It saves me a lot of time, since I don't have to read through all the junk trying to decide if I should "ignore" or not. I'd love to have a script that searches though all users and if they have a "primedice" ad, just auto-adds them to my ignore list.
