It amazes me how many people keep saying that gadman2 needs to add himself to the list because of his signature. I find it extremely obvious the difference between his signature and the signature campaigns he is complaining about. His is his own signature advertising his own business, he is complaining about people having an advertisement in their signature that is paid for by someone else, such as mine. If the person/business that I am advertising for had the same advertisement in their signature and no one else had it he would be ok with that.
I understand his concern, which is that same of many users. People that post nonsense just to increase their post count for the signature campaigns that pay based on the number of posts.
While reading through this thread I kept thinking about what other people were alluding to and I think mocacinno summed it up right here:
In several occasions, i've seen senior/legendary members giving the same answer as was given only a couple posts earlyer. I often wondered if these individuals didn't take the time to read all responses before they replied to the thread, untill i noticed they were wearing a sig similar to yours: a cig to promote their own ignore list. So it became obvious: these users just ignored members that were giving fine answers, so they didn't realise the correct answer was already given, and they just "spammed" (for a lack of a better word) the original thread.
And I also agree with 0xfff, I don't use ignore.
And no I won't add you to my list of ignored users. I don't have a list. I don't censor people because of their signature and I don't block people with opinions I don't agree with.
I try not to post nonsense, but go ahead and add me to your list because I am paid for my signature and because of this my opinions, statements and knowledge are not adequate. Also keep in mind, if I had been on your ignore list you would not have known to buy that Nest thermostat from me.
