Proactive fighting with spammers. Doing it the right way

It is beyond doubt that the quality of posts has massively gone down during the last few years primarily due to the influx of shit posters and the insane amount of spam they produce. It is no secret either that most (if not all) users heavily spamming here are spamming because they are being paid by the signature campaigns they are enrolled in. As I see it, banning individual spammers won't help much since the advertisers these users are posting for seem not to be so much interested in the quality of posts as in the amount of exposure their ads get. So banning one spammy user may actually lead to his slot being taken by an even more spammy individual. Instead of banning individual shit posters, I suggest punishing the managers of signature campaigns these posters are enrolled in. In my opinion, a threat of, say, a monthly ban will make most if not all of the campaign managers more careful and less promiscuous in the selection of new participants for the signature campaigns they happen to manage. Obviously, the unofficial forum rules should be amended with a special section concerning campaign managers and their responsibilities...

I would like to hear your opinion as well as constructive criticism if there is any
