until we tackle the issue at the source and do something about those who are paying them to make this mess nothing will change no matter how much moderation power you throw at it.
ICOs have ruined btct and damn near ruined all of crypto..
I have touched on this subject a few times and feel exactly the same way..

It's pretty plane to see who are responsible but what constitutes enough proof to slap their company rep accounts with red trust or start deleting their main threads?
If it could be proven that they are knowingly sponsoring spam will you nuke their ANN and bounty threads? Nuke their rep accounts? That would be epic..
Can you just nuke sig campaign threads that are obviously not moderating their posters?
Somehow ya gotta start putting the hurt directly on the companies..
Why do you think they care about red trust? Especially so when the trust reads something like "Employs spammers" because the people wanting to advertise do not care about the people who are going to be advertising their site as long as it's advertising and some sort of impressions per month or post per month get reached.
THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE SEE IT
They don't care about the quality of the forum or who they employ to do the job. However theres only one way to find out if red trust will affect things and that's to do it. Give signature campaign mangers red trust if they are caught not doing their job and enrolling multiple spammers.
It's easy to prove if they are knowingly sponsoring spam by sending them a list of people they have enrolled that are currently spamming and if they don't do anything about it then you can tag them because they obviously don't care as long as they get paid.
