I would say that the current stance is something close to a last resort before paid signatures are outright banned completely, it something close to that.
That would be unfortunate. For me and I would assume a lot of users it is a good means of having a steady income.
A revision of signature and restrictions might achieve the same. When the forum changed to activity and limited signature there was a reduction in spam before workarounds were discovered. Another downsizing like that should work.
Well my prediction is speculation I do think that paid signature advertising has unfortunately created a huge amount of unwanted spam throughout the forum. It has only gotten worse over time. With the closing of PD it did get somewhat better however it since has gotten worse with the opening of other pay per post campaigns.
I had proposed a potential solution that was shot down by an admin (that I will rebuke shortly) however even my solution would likely need to have been implemented months ago to be appropiately effective.
So monthly campaign is an ideal signature payment because no need to spam anymore.
if the sig campaign must make a min 50 post per month , then 2 post per day shall be enough.
Will never join ppp sig campaign anymore
14 days get ban feels like 14 month to me
By the way if this user (
