there's a lot of people who are unaware of these making terrible posts anyways.
Yeah, that's because people don't read, because they're not paid to read--they're paid to post. And it's exactly that that makes this forum so shitty to be around. Garbage posts, over and over. Someone starts a topic asking "How I make money with bitcoin?" and the next 100 posts in the thread all say the same thing: sig campaigns, trading, gambling, bounties, offer a skill. The shitposters learn how to answer that question specifically, and it gets asked over and over. It's tiring. It's tiring to read threads where everyone says the same thing.
Edit: I'm glad this thread exists. The shitposting problem is like the 900 pound gorilla in the room that no one acknowledges. And no one acknowledges that campaign managers aren't doing much to keep these posters out of campaigns anymore.
Edit edit: Those shitposters who aren't in sig campaigns: I think a lot of them are account farmers, just posting to rank up so that they can sell those accounts. I don't have proof, just a strong suspicion.
I also have respect for campaign managers like Yahoo62278, Lutpin, Lauda, and Edwardard and I realize they have bosses to please too. Even Secondstrade was getting good at not accepting shitposters toward the end. It's just lately I've seen tons of shitposters wearing signatures from SMAS campaigns. I don't think some of them take that seriously anymore, else they would never accept some of these people.
