Users who feel people do post bad quality posts should consider talking to the manager of the signature campaign directly to have them removed from it.

The problem campaigns never listen to you. 9/10 I never get any response from them even after months of telling them they need to start looking after their campaigns. Try PM bitmixer or some of the shitcoin sig campaigns and see if you get a response. They don't care and the ones that don't listen even after repeated warnings either need some sort of punishment or not be allowed to advertise here in such a way and that's another thing we're discussing.

Where did I say they would be removed if you report them? If you read what I wrote I said we were currently discussing how to handle them.

Ok, i dont see what the discussion is about though, you guys have no choice but to either delete them, or get new staff to clean up the spam

It may be difficult for the moderators though. How can they work out what is spam? They can't just target those in signature campaigns either, they'd have to clear up everywhere! Or then they're judging things differently depending on whether a user wishes to earn when they post or not.

Exactly and that's what we're discussing. It's not a question of new staff but making sure everybody is on board and on the same page about what is acceptable or not. You might think a thread is spam and others might not. Even a constructive thread can be taken over by shitposters so do we trash that as well? What threads should or shouldn't be permitted are currently being discussed as are ways to cut down on sig spam altogether. I'm not the boss here and don't want to overstep my authority so any big changes that happen need to be run through with both all the other staff and most importantly theymos first and that's what we're waiting on.

The worst campaign for spammers is probably yobit (which isn't even regulated).
Steep sanctions should be put in place go tackle this (such as blocking accounts either permanently or until a fine is paid to the forum).
I've looked on threads and thought I'd turn off signatures for one day a while back. Its interesting to notice that the post quality of people in and out of campaigns is very similar to me. And the fact that most people are in a signature campaign means that threads are more likely to have those people replying to them.
