Some things have been done about it, Grue implemented this, which locked threads that spammers liked to use to increase activity

In the Off Topic section. While I agree this was a very good move, the spam has since moved to different sections. More needs to be done to the same tune as this.

Grue created this, which makes signature advertising less effective (and thus less attractive for companies to use -- previously if yobit et al can only afford to pay the little dust they were paying, then they might not be able to afford to pay anything at all)

While this does exist, what percentage of the community do you think uses it? My guesses are >5%. This is insignificant.
In addition, while it does make signature advertising less attractive for companies to use, it is not effective enough. This is shown by the fact we are still having this problem after these fixes were introduced.

What Lauda was proposing was to implement some "solution" without regard to it's potential effectiveness, nor it's potential consequences.

Whatever solution is implemented would obviously need to be criticized by staff and other members of the community. I'm sure that Lauda understands this, and doesn't expect that a solution will be implemented on a whim.
Regardless of this, a solution is still needed. While the things you listed previously do help, they are not enough.

I remember when Dell started accepting bitcoin, that there were threads that literally had nothing but pages upon pages of posts that all said something along the lines of "this is great news", and we do not see anything close to that level of spam anymore.

That is debatable. Whilst we don't have that sort of mindless spam, we still have a significant problem about users saying nothing of any interesting in their post and assuming it is alright due to it's length.

I think Grue locking threads in off topic whose solicited replies were insubstantial replies improved things greatly. I think it would be a good idea to implement (and enforce) similar policies in other sections of the forum, especially Bitcoin discussion, as Bitcoin Discussion has started to fill up with a lot of useless threads.

It should be implemented in all subsections of the forum, not just a select few. There is no place on this forum that shitty, nonconstructive posts and threads should be accepted.

Having ten accounts doesn't help you with anything. Campaigns (good paying ones) need max 90 posts a week in average as I can see. 90*4*10... 3600 posts a month to get your ten accounts paid with the max amount. You don't have time to write so many posts.. over 100 posts PER DAY. Even having a secondary account is hard. What is the point? I mean, 10 posts with the main or 10 with 5 accounts.. same thing Cheesy

Not every account on here is low ranked, and higher ranked accounts can make more Bitcoin with less effort needed. It is highly likely that people own several of these higher ranked accounts in order to get large rewards for little effort.
Please do not post if you have no idea what you are talking about; you are part of the problem by doing so.
