I strongly think it is and obv. this lowers the overall quality of this forum as a source for useful information. As soon as a newbie asks a question, sig spammers start crowding the topic with their 99% sensless/false/bs answers. Some (most?) of them didn't even understand the topic!
@Theymos: The problem is not created by the sig spammers, but the system allowing it. There might be a point where Bitcointalk will be rejected by the users, when you can't find the information you are looking for, because it's hidden in a flood of trash.
Sure BUT along with the "trash" is a
chance of opportunity and
outreach to a population who CAN be
educated that are geographically dispersed throughout the
world! They will eventually learn to read, decipher and see history happening for themselves first hand and see how much they are missing out on becoming free from the fiat currency slave-system with every month that passes by. And this will lead to action of opting for Bitcoin rather than holding fiat. And then spreading of this knowledge (hopefully in a less nonsensical way).
