I agree that people who come here solely to post for signature campaigns are generally annoying.
I can't say I find them annoying, simply because there is no way to distinguish them from regular users enrolled in Signature Campaigns (unless they of course come out and say it). I simply think that it isn't very good for the forum in the long run to have users who only come here with a monetary incentive, similar to why 'buying friends' doesn't work.
You could however argue that these people have come here to start a business.
I don't understand. Unless someone is running a business and a signature campaign, I don't see how advertising for a website is comparable to starting a business.
I also find the people who work in the little kiosks at the mall to be very annoying, however I do not propose banning those kiosks from malls. I don't think we should ban people from coming here for the sole purpose of earning signature campaign money, as long as they do not break the other rules, including not making low quality/low content posts.
Me neither, which is why I didn't say we should. All I said was that I don't think users who come here only for signature campaign earnings are viable for the forum in the long run; as soon as any sort of monetary incentive disappears, so does a large portion of people who 'love BitcoinTalk'.
In addition, going back to my first point, there would be no way to separate those who come here only to earn money from signature advertising and people who use it as a reward for something they would already do. I would not support banning these people as it could not be done effectively - either all users wearing signature campaigns would be banned or no one would. I have no problem with anyone that comes to this forum providing they follow the rules.
