If the administration did not want this, then it would prohibit the execution of the signature on the forum. this would immediately solve all the issues. but this does not happen.

I actually think this should happen. I wouldn't mind the least bit if signatures disappeared tomorrow. Stopping Newbies from wearing sigs is the next best compromise.

I agree with every single point that you made nutildah in the above-linked post, except this one.

You seem to be conceding too much to Uesly_Future because the forum is NOT going down the road of getting rid of signatures or signature campaigns, and the forum seems to have allowed for the adoption of this dynamic, which ends up making it a unique place in the way that it attempts to balance matters while allowing the experimentation (in practice) of signatures to continue into the foreseeable future.  Maybe some day signature campaigns will be reigned in a bit more, but they do seem to cause a certain kind of balancing challenge for forum mods and administrators that is a chosen route forward.

Personally, I discontinued with my participation in signature campaigns because I was beginning to find them to be too much of a burden for me as compared to what I was getting paid, yet I can understand why a variety of members might want to continue to attempt to participate in them, and hopefully, not devolve the quality of their posting just to attain their required posting quota.
