But nowadays, Bitcoin Value is continuously dropping and as I observed this affects the online markets as well as the investors. Although we know that the value of bitcoin is volatile, we still can't deny that having a dropped down value also causes the deminishing number of campaigns here in the forum. Or having the fact that there are so many tokens and platforms had been generated these past months, that's why they dont seem to have some unique ideas to introduce and make it for the competition in the market.

With this bounty hunters, spammers, and other members that posts low qualities are on a vacation of flooding the forum. And as I think about it, if these campaigns where about to disappear (although its impossible), It wouldn't leave us a large impact of loss.
There would be no other reasons for the others to continue posting if they know nothing will benefit them(JMO).

It will be BER months soon and as the majority expects on Bitcoin, the value should rise up again and Campaigns will definitely appear again. (I wish?)

I don't think there's any logic or truth to what you're saying at all (if I understand you correctly). Where are your figures or sources for the 'diminishing number of campaigns'? Bitcoin paying campaigns come and go, but they don't magically pop up in droves when the price is high then disappear when it falls. Many are promoting bitcoin-based business and they don't suddenly shut up shop when bitcoin has a "bad" time because it is irrelevant to them and is business as usual regardless of bitcoins current value. Also, ICO campaigns are more popular than ever and multiple new ones pop up every month and they will only continue to grow here because it costs them nothing to pay people in tokens and even if their ICO fails they've lost nothing but time so a signature campaign is too good of an opportunity not to take.

I'm assuming it's the whole reason why Theymos hasn't nuked signature campaigns and has basically said he's not going to.

Not entirely true. Theymos has stated the next option if merit fails will likely be to just remove signature completely. Problem solved. I don't think that should be done without trying the other options that are available first and I have personally suggest numerous things that would help greatly, but they all need the go-ahead or input from theymos.

If you wanted to solve the shitposting problem on bitcointalk, you could probably do it in the blink of an eye just by banning campaigns and bounties. I don't think that's a great idea, though I sort of used to. I think the rules of participant selection should be tightened up a lot, and I do see some managers requiring both a merit and rank minimum, and that's a really good thing--even though that doesn't stop idiots from applying for those campaigns even though they don't qualify.

Merely enforcing the signature campaign guidelines would go a long way. As long as campaigns can get away with doing nothing then they will. If there's repercussions then they will change their ways. It will be pretty annoying if signatures ever do get banned completely because those that have caused the mess in the first place will instantly leave in a mass exodus never to return, and then all the quality posters are punished for something the spammers who don't even care about bitcoin or the forum have caused. This is why I think signatures should be removed from lower ranks and you don't get them until you've acquired a decent amount of merit. People should have to earn their right to earn from here, and everyone shouldn't be punished just because of those that look to exploit the forum.
