Sure I can.

You're still speculating.

This is what was said about Obama-care, and look where that got us Cheesy

False analogy.

Lauda, it is fairly probable that account prices will increase if signatures are not enabled for the lower ranks. More farming would also take place and may produce more spam. However, there may be more accounts of the higher ranks and that may reduce their value (say if there are now around 1000 legendary accounts, if there were 10000 legendary accounts, the value would fall as more may be sold).

A value adjustment can be expected in this case. However, the situation becomes different to what we encounter now. Currently, the spammers are often able to start getting paid since the begging and one is incentivized to do this very early on. They would get nothing in most cases while they rank up (which takes time)

If there's a thread for reporting spam, unless it's self moderated and posts are archived and moved on that thread after the report is resolved, then that second idea would be open to spam and hard for forum staff and moderators to navigate through.

True. However, the OP could try and keep it clean.

Anyone else find it ironic that most people that comment on this are sig spammers/wearing a sig promoting something

It truly isn't. It comes down whether one has changed their posting habits after joining one.

I think it's more funny that all who replied and are in a signature campaign are, themselves, against spammers.
Also, Lauda I think it would be useful, as you can delete posts at your position, for you to try and help clean the thread (as long as that doesn't interrupt with your regular moderating of this forum.

(Also, QS still hasn't improved upon his posts that were said to be somewhat confusing to other members - including this recent post). His speculation is highly likely to happen though.
