Paid signatures suck and are designed to create spammers. The worst ones are the mining companies. Not only are the ads spamming the forum but the companies are stealing from people. Are there any mining companies left that have not robbed their customers? I don't know of one.

On the other hand, if you completely stop advert spammers this forum might not have many regular members left. The number of regular, long time, members posting daily compared to 2012 is greatly reduced. I don't just mean the Clipse, PatrickHarnett, Goat types either. I expect them to be gone. Members that I've talked to for years have either vaporized or post very infrequently.
