Why are so many new bitcointalk accounts being created just spamming threads to get activity points? Ahhh, to sell them later and/or collect on free airdrops.
At the risk of being indelicate, I rather think the primary motivation can be found right within your signature block. As further support for this notion, visit my signature block.
There's a new option in bitcointalk profile to hide all signatures.
When more people will take advantage of it this will be a better place.
If it wasn't for my displaying of sigs, I'd waste ages of time on BCT reading zero-value posts by sig farmers. When I get to skim mode, posts with sigs are automatically skipped over.
Michail1 is a rare exception to this rule.
