If we are tolerant, overtime, they will become more knowledgeable and contribute more constructive posts.

Anyway, once these "garbage posters" get up enough coin to have some skin in the game...they'll realize the value of the technology, their interests will bloom, and their attitudes toward the forum will become more constructive.  And, those who do not become enlightened by the technology will disappear.

This is quite a naive assumption and the problem here is we have been tolerant of spam and spammy campaigns for far too long. People can learn about bitcoin and earn at the same time but that's almost certainly not what is happening with half the people on these spammy campaigns. These garbage posters are greedy and lazy and wont stop at any amount. They keep making garbage posts that get worse day after day because they know they can get paid for them. Why bother even writing a half-assed sentence when you can just make posts like these and get paid for them:

beer, and i love all kind of tea

Coindesk and youtube mainly

ali-g   Grin

of course no.


peach tea


+15 more today.

Are you telling me he should be allowed to make and get paid for those posts? What's he learning about bitcoin there when all of his posts are in off-topic? He does the same thing 20 times a day because his campaign only pays for 20 posts and users like him are the vast majority on yobit and secondstrade. If you check out his profile you will also see he has been marked as a scammer by several people and is showing up red and most campaigns wont accept such users but yobit will at a discounted rate because they don't care who advertises for them as long as they do and their advert is plastered everywhere and that's why something needs to be done about them because they have absolutely no interest in this forum other than to make money and they don't care what damage they do in the process.

Here's my reasoning:  Most readers will pass right over those type of posts and not even pay attention to the signatures included within them; therefore, those who are running the signature campaigns will be injecting money into the blochchain for ineffective advertising, and if they were smart enough, they would fix their leak by removing them from their campaign.  (Free market sorta philosophy.)

If I were to run a signature campaign....I would have a pay schedule based on merit and not quantity, where more constructive posts get paid more money.
