Having some regular user do it will just become too much for them (and then there's the issue of what they choose to remove or not and cries of censorship). Just assign some mods to the Speculation section since it doesn't have any mods at all or promote another Global. If that board has some specific mods they can probably keep on top of it.

Official forum staff are bound by policies and a certain culture. I think that the WO people want some autonomy.

The thread is exempt from the following rules from the perspective of bitcointalk.org mods:

- Off-topicness (in relation to either Speculation or the topic itself).

Still don't understand why we should allow off topic postings. If people want to talk about something that isn't related to the wall charts then they can do it in any of the other relevant threads in Speculation.

- Double-posting etc., within reason.

I don't see any good reason why it should be allowed in there.

The point is to minimize what bitcointalk.org mods have to look at there.

If it still counts towards post-count/activity removing signatures wont do much. People might even try exploit it by spamming in there (especially if we allow double posting).

It doesn't make rational sense for sig campaigns to pay for posts there, since posters there won't actually be advertising anything. (Maybe they're insufficiently rational, I'm not sure...)

I don't view activity farming as a big deal since you can only get 1 point/day regardless.

It probably would be better to prevent post counts from increasing there, but I can't easily do that without putting it in a dedicated section.
