Removing signatures altogether is something we're also discussing. Personally, I'm at the point where I think that's going to be the only solution to stop all the bullshit and hassle that comes along with having them but we're trying to find a workaround too that suits everyone. We know removing signature campaigns is going to have a drastic impact on the traffic here and to do so or enforce fully we would probably have to just remove signatures and avatars altogether for everyone otherwise people would likely still try get around it. I've long said signature campaigns could help improve the post quality of the forum but that would only happpen if every campaign only accepted quality posters and didn't just pay anyone and everyone regardless of post quality and ways to force campaigns to do that is being discussed also.


I agree that certain threads should be locked when a person has got a solid answer to a specific question and we're discussing whether those sorts of threads you mentioned should just be trashed straight away or not but there's some threads where people may get a lot of responses but others can still offer their suggestions but repeating the same thing for pages and pages is unnecessary. It's hard to find a balance really without just locking or trashing half the threads here but I guess maybe mods may just have to make executive decisions on this sort of stuff otherwise the forum isn't going to get any cleaner. Some sort of quality control of what sort of threads is and isn't allowed needs to be established though but if spam threads do get locked or trashed people will get the idea pretty quickly.


PMSL. The irony of this. I'm assuming you're getting confused with illegitimate? Not sure whether you're joking or not  .
