A hard problem to address fairly though.

It's not that difficult and several solutions have already been suggested but met with complete silence. The easiest one to enforce would be if you start a signature campaign here and it's clear that you're just accepting hundreds to unlimited users without monitoring the quality of the content then you get a warning to clean your campaign up within a week and if you don't your account is banned, your thread(s) trashed and any user still carrying their signature will have it forcibly removed. This is what was meant to happen with the signature campaign guidelines but they're pointless when theymos won't enforce them. Signatures also need to be removed from rank/activity somehow to stop the ludicrous amounts of account farming that is going on and people literally having hundreds of accounts to milk signature campaigns dry. As long as you can easily join the dozens of crapcoin campaigns that pop up every month with hundreds of accounts you've easily farmed by shitposting then nothing is going to change and the content of the forum is just going to get worse daily because the more people realise they can get away with it.

what will happen if all signature campaigns end

The forum loses money by allowing signature campaigns here. Most businesses/projects don't bother buying ads when they can have their signatures plastered all over the forum for free as opposed to buying one tiny, barely noticeable ad slot.

- I usually try to keep ads up for no more than 8 or 9 days.

I think the forum is still doing pretty well.
Buying ad on the forums is still better than a signature. And they do not need to manage anything.

And it could be doing even better if signature campaigns were banned and replaced with forum adverts. The forum would also then be readable, you know, how it actually should be. And buying a forum advert isn't better. There's only one of them, they're barely noticeable, and they're expensive in comparison to if you run a crapcoin campaign and pay your users in your pre-mined shitcoin so you're literally getting free advertising to have your advert plastered all over the forum by shitposters.
