Looks like Lauda has been going strong with cleaning up the Bitmixer campaign. If that means that I get banned as well, then it is what it is. But it's a good effort to keep the forum clean.
You won't be banned, as you don't fit the criteria. You are going to be evaluated again in Round two which is tomorrow. I've also suggested a extensive BAN list from this cleanup to the forum administration. Whether they will take action on it or not, is not up to me. As stated in the post, this should be taken as a warning sign that flags your posting behavior as bad (hence it needed thorough improvement)

I guess they won't ban them. At least, not for shit posting per se, though some may indeed get banned, for example, for copy-pasting if caught. The punishment should obviously "fit the crime", and kicking them off the signature campaign will most certainly suffice to stop these users from flooding the forum with junk posts altogether. In fact, not banning them (even temporarily) would be a more severe punishment to them...

Since many will try to join other signature campaigns and undoubtedly end up kicked off again
