I'm sure it has probably been mentioned on a Metal thread somewhere... But perhaps we need some rules (guidelines?) governing the running of campaigns... Especially ones that "pay to post".
Having said that, is there actually a way to make campaign managers more accountable for the output of their campaign participants? If there are viable solutions... should we make them (the managers) accountable? Or should we simply continue to name and shame the users who are shitposting?

There's really only two ways to prevent the current abuse. Either, we tackle the issue by imposing guidelines/rules that are enforced by the staff members or we take things into our own hands, and tag campaign managers.
I feel like the first suggestion would be the best, and the second suggestion wouldn't likely affect them as the people who hire them don't really care about the quality of the campaign, and only getting their name out there.
I'm not sure what theymos thinks about tackling the abuse via moderation, but I imagine he will treat it the same as spam. Although, I would argue that they are offering an incentive for bad quality posts, and therefore are the same as threads offering an incentive just on a much wider scale.
