If this is the case then I would suggest that you educate theymos on this so he stops telling people that the forum does not need money.

You don't seem to understand either statements. Theymos is right when he says that the forum does not need more money, as in, it has enough money to remain fully functional. My statement was more general, e.g. you could donate the money to charity (which is a bad example, but applies).

Again, I think that the price is too high and would result in excluding the majority of people who are not already wealthy.

Again, the point is not to generate money but to remove the majority of signature campaign participants (which are spammers anyways).

Maybe "no one" is not entirely true, however anyone who is acting economically rational will not pay a fee that is designed to prevent anyone who pays said fee from ever earning a return on said fee.

Again, a hasty and hyperbolic generalization. It comes down to the member; I could probably (if I wanted to) return that sum within 2 to 3 months.

If they have 10 accounts then they are risking $200 (plus the value of their accounts). Also note that many (possibly even most) of the signature spammers live in parts of the world where $1 is a lot of money.

If you have 10 accounts, you're risking 20 BTC. This seems much better in my eyes.

-snip- so if you see one then I would suggest that you report to so a moderator with authority over that section can lock it.

Telling a moderator what to do when he sees such a thread? Roll Eyes

The issue there would be the optics that mods are censoring members.

Bullshit. There is a huge difference between censorship and moderation. Free-speech does not mean that you can come and spread any kind of nonsense in a privately owned place.
