There are so many problems with signature campaigns it's unbelievable. We can't ban sigs either because legit users need money. This forum is in such a quagmire.
That's a bad reason. How about they actually get a job?

Isn't just banning the spammers a better solution?
How is it a solution? The staff has been banning spammers for years. Do you see any improvement? It is an endless fight if we only resort to banning.

We can also make up a set of general guidelines for signature campaigns like discouraging rules like having minimum x amounts of characters in a post, and encouraging incentives that encourage better quality posts. Encourage fixed rate campaigns over pay per post.
I agree with guidelines but don't agree with the number of characters in a post. We have already demonstrated on a small example why a short post can be constructive. I'd say introduce maximum number of posts/users per campaign and minimum rank required to join a campaign. This should somewhat reduce the spam.
