As the title says. it is becoming impossible to participate in on-topic constructive posts. there are too many signature campaign spammers posting idiotic threads that have no substance in the OP (although some people are able to contribute even with a lousy OP. For me, a useless first post makes it harder to respond to the topic without being accused as spamming yourself.

let me break it down

• Spammer/bot posts nonsense new topics, with a flashy signature ad
• More useless replies echoing the OP of the thread, hence no discussion
• when a non-spamming sig campaigner attempts to respond to the topic, they have to effectively come up with their own substance in the post, since by the time they get to the thread there's at least 3 or 4 spammy posts.
  
• That contributor's post can easily be deleted since it's a reply to spam. It's difficult to be constructive when replying to spam
  

Do you see my logic? This seems to be happening more and more with bots posting nonsense and braindead forum posters who are only herer to make a quick buck. I'm sorry to say that this forum is detraining into a haven of spam, and it seems as though not much can be done.

Thoughts?
