OP, you're being naieve enough to think that everyone here is an average US adult without a job who thinks that they will become rich of a signature campaign. The damn minimum wage here is $17 and I'm here, aren't I?
The way I see it, there are two kinds of signature users on this forum. Illiterate spammers from third and second world countries who try to earn a bit of dust in a quest to get to a better place but in turn ruining this forum, and people that genuinely are interested in the forum, and want to have some extra dust to play with.
You simply have no idea what a third world country is.
"A Third World country is a country whose views are not aligned with NATO and capitalism or the Soviet Union and communism. The use of the term "Third World" started during the Cold War and was used to identify which of three categories the countries of the world aligned with."
Please get your facts correct before accusing other countries to be poor.
As for Signature campaign spammers, the could simply buy accounts of Hero Members and keep spamming. The only possible solution is IP checks.
That may be the original meaning of the phrase, but the term these days is usually used to describe their status in relation to the superpowers of the world. 3rd being not developing or doing so at a rate that will only make the gap bigger over time, 2nd being developing, a country that's GDP is growing at a rate that will catch up to 1st World countries, and 1st having a high stable GDP.

IP checks only works if the spammer/farmer have ISP with Static IP, but many cheap ISP or ISP with slow speed usually use Dynamic IP. Also, the spammer/farmer can use free proxy/VPN.
Proxies and VPNs (especially public and free ones) have a high chance of being marked and can earn you a unit of evil for your troubles.
Again...
"Here's my point. You all need to stop wasting your life farming accounts on a forum for pennies and pissing the hell out of everyone else, and go find a job. Sure you might be living in a third world country but still, you could be creative and do somethign else with your time. Find a business idea, look at the many ideas online, if you can't get a job you have to find a way. You can't live the rest of your life scavenging off of forums. Even if it's just extra income, you're wasting WAY too much time on it (I know some people with 10+ accounts at a time in one signature campaign (usually in one, sometimes spread out.)"
What will they do when sig campaigns end? Live with no money? Better to start now.
