There have been countless proposals by staff on how to deal with the spam with some suggestions that will almost eradicate it. Things like punishing the operators of signature campaigns who run them lazily (or not at all most of the time) can easily be implemented and is pretty much just common sense.  If you run a bad campaign with a lot of shitposters then your account is banned and your threads trashed and your signatures removed/blacklisted and you are no longer allowed to advertise here in such a way. It's not exactly rocket science. Removing signatures from ranks/activity would also curb the amount of spam and shitposting drastically as well as account farming but theymos doesn't seem willing to even try this. What actually happens to try curb low quality content is down to theymos now but staff have pretty much done all they can and it's in his hands to decide what to do next.
