It would stop complaints about the merit system but if you think the complaints are bad now people will get absolutely hysterical if signatures were banned. Look how bad people are complaining now and all that is happened is they have to work a little harder to get rank and/or get paid. If you took way their "right" to earn the butthurt would burn with the force of ten thousand suns and would go on forever. Please sir theymos bring back signature campaigns sir. I quit my job for sign camp and my kids are starving over and over every day. 


For sure they would but theymos has said several times that he doesn't want to remove signatures. I think it would be a shame to get rid of them completely but more restrictions or punishments need to be put in place for those causing the most damage. If people only get paid for quality posts then we wouldn't have this problem in the first place but this is something that needs to be enforced otherwise nothing will change.
