That might very well be true. We can't control that, nor do I think anyone on this forum is concerned about signature campaigns popping up on other forums--that's not up to those who would flee from BCT, is it? It's up to whoever runs whatever forum(s) you're speculating about.

I think you're misunderstanding. What I mean is, let's say that I own a website (E.G a faucet). I could reward lower users for putting a link to my website in their BitcoinTalk.org signature space and posting. In that case the only way to stop that from happening would be to moderate individual users to remove their signature, since it would be impossible to moderate an external source.

And I strongly think that nixing lower-ranked members from campaigns would help.

The only way that this would work would be to completely remove signatures altogether from lower ranked members; simply trying to remove them from campaigns would not work. While this would probably work, it would be a shame for the few who use their signature space legitimately.

Gotcha, I did misunderstand. That makes sense, and that could very well happen. Would it not be possible to restrict lower-ranked members from advertising anything in their signature on penalty of banishment?
