Really? Think about this: If all signature campaigns were banned, would you still stay active on this forum? I know 90% of the people currently in signature campaigns will not. :-/
But hey, I guess that's that for our current generation here on bitcointalk
Why sure. I've always been active making at least 14 posts a week before joining a signature campaign. The reason that I'm very active in BCT is because I'm a huge Bitcoin fan. Ever since I got into Bitcoin, I've got fascinated by its decentralized nature. So, even if all campaigns were banned I would still contribute to this forum.
Me too - I've been on Bitcointalk since 2010, and only signed up to a sig campaign a few weeks back. Having said that, I suspect you and I are very much the minority - and for that reason I'd be hesitant to ban sig campaigns. They seem to attract people to the forum, and through that people are learning about Bitcoin. I don't know whether mass adoption is possible (or necessary for Bitcoin's future success), but I do believe that more people learning about (and using!) BTC is a positive thing, despite the "endless September" vibe that the sig campaigns seem to have generated!
Inside the forum this is the best way ti earn bitcoins.
If there will be no signature campaign i speculate that there will be -90% overall the activity of the forum members.
Signature Campaign attract people to learn more about bitcoin and spread over the world.
