If the sig campaigning issue was that bad, wouldn't it make sense for mods to delete the junk posts made by these spammers? I'm sure there are enough moderators to police the problem.
The issue there would be the optics that mods are censoring members. Think the issue should be handled by a member assigned to the signature that shows a unbiased view point. Hilarious does a great job but ideally it would good if it was not a mod to limit potential conflict of interest.
Mods are hired to enforce forum rules, how is it a conflict of interest?
This is about fighting the symptoms or fixing the root issue.
Its a suggestion because sometimes optics or perception can override the issue. Not being able to see down the road but would rather people did not have a angle or leg to the argument by making it seem like a mod had it in for them.
We both know this not to be a problem but. it would be one less thread issue.
