"What do you think about personal responsibility of signature campaign managers in regard to the quality of their members posts?"

They must carry some responsibility, but surely the mods/admin are more responsible for stopping organised spam posting. I thought spamming was an offence in the "rules", and sig spammers were going to be looked upon harshly-ish. No sign of any of that happening.

I like that Lauda is trying to think of the bigger picture, but i'm a bit worried by hilarious saying "punishments for people who run the campaigns very poorly." - is just poorly ok?

"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 they are mainly "mass farmed" accounts. Without addressing this issue, spam cannot be tackled effectively.
Of the 400 accounts i have identified, probably 90% can be assigned to 1 farmer.

"banning individual spammers won't help much..."
Agreed. It doesn't matter if say, zalucia (265) is banned, Zaducis (132)*** is still here spamming, if he is banned, Zacudis (168) will carry on, or Zicadis (24), Zocadas (25), Zulucia (28), Zosuda  (22), Zadicar  (860), or Zudalar (22), or 391 other accounts. (my farmed list of 400 is not complete - there are hundreds more) All the same person.... But taking action against blocks of "mass farmed" accounts would make a difference.

I would like to see a clear statement on this subject from global mod/admin. But... if no one else thinks so?
Of course macwika (20) will disagree, as will madwica (612), mandica (295), mastica (39), molsewid  (22), Malsetid  (22), Mastsetad  (1344), michkima (28), miakama (24), misakama (23), mistanama (23),  mitkala (20) and miayama (125).
They outvote me 12 to 1. But they are just 1 person.
