I'll un-ignore people who post here momentarily for sake of sharing ideas and criticism.

I feel all signature advertisement campaigns, and their respective users, are detrimental to the integrity board no matter the quality of the post above it.
Bad idea (generalization fallacy). You will miss out on posts from various groups, e.g. some staff members (e.g. hilarious, me, sometimes mprep), some excellent posters (e.g. Shorena) and even people contributing to Bitcoin Core (e.g. Achow).

A generalization fallacy only occurs when I am basing a judgement off few examples or instances. Even you would agree that this is not the case. Unfortunately, yes, I will have to miss out. Furthermore, I did look into Achow's signature, I do not accept it with the ad-campaign as this is the root of the problem.

I guess there is no point posting when OP uses his blockade.
But this pretty much sums it all. Lots of useful info is spread by sig posters.
Maybe OP is early adopter with trillions in his wallet, who knows, I dont care, thus that kind of add-on is good for the guy, but if someone is still collecting coins on a small scale than this thing will only bring harm.
Personally I like signatures, they are pretty  Roll Eyes, light weight most in a really good taste and quality that is nowhere to be found, only here.
One of the best tutorials are made by sig-posters, lots of giveaways, I think the forum will look like a ghost board with this thing enabled. I wonder what is the impact on browsers performance? Looks like a big filter.

I would say performance would be increased being as some pages are perhaps less than half the size, even so it's negligible as this is not the point. Furthermore if you say "Lots of useful info is spread by sig posters", I'm interested in knowing what word, rather than "lots", you would use to describe the remaining material that isn't useful. Perhaps enormous, vast, colossal, gigantic, mammoth, prodigious or stupendous maybe?

@Lauda: He won't even see this post since your on his ignore list. lol

@OP: Since I am still not on your ignore list I would like to mention a few things before I too end up there. lol

1. Lauda has a very good point about making exceptions to your list.
2. You are already missing a good amount of quality posts due to your ignore setting.
3. What's the point of being on this forum if your missing quality deals, quality posts, staff posts and posts from people who are actively contributing to Bitcoin Core?

I hope you understand what I am saying instead of adding me to your list too.

I do understand what you're saying, and I should point out that I have no personal problems with anyone on the list, or who uses paid signatures. I feel as if the board is being deprived of sustenance when, as pointed out in other boards, 95% of the board is paid signatures repeating what's already been said into 250 pages of absolute redundancy (one of many many many examples). It's a large pill to swallow, but I do understand.

I feel all signature advertisement campaigns, and their respective users, are detrimental to the integrity board no matter the quality of the post above it. There are no exceptions to this list; from "Brand New" to "Legendary" users, it all applies.
It seems like you made one exception: yourself! Big words from someone who's advertising his firearms business in his own signature.
Let me have a look at your post history:
I can only conclude you are a sigspammer yourself. If you think I'm spamming, my campaign manager (who's also on your list Cheesy ) has a small reward for you if you report me.

Feel free to add me to your ignore list. I do, and will, carry my own legitimate business branding. I can say that there is only one person on this forum who has a signature with my business in it. Let me know if there are others, I'll thank them in a PM.

I cannot say that every post I make or have made is extremely valuable, I have not claimed to have done such. I should note that I have tried my best to not included people who have their own business (like mine) or actual personal signature. It is unfortunate that you do not recognize the difference or understand the problem, I cannot help you.
