This probably isn't anything too interesting for other people, but it is for me.

Don't sell yourself short. Signature Campaigns and their participants have been a point of contention ever since they began. Many people will take interest in pretty much any relevant development.

Now, I doubt I will be any less active, but now I can purely post for fun without actually having to post.

I know for me, I've become less active, because of the way the dynamics changed around here (for me personally) after my ban-appeal. There is nothing wrong with an ebb and flow of posting activity, but at least now you don't have any minimum requirement influencing that.

I've probably spend some time responding to topics I wasn't really interested in, so it's great that I don't have to do that anymore...

This is one of the biggest problems that signature campaigns bring to our forum.
Although, let's be clear; you didn't "have" to, you chose to for monetary gain. Tongue

This sort of steps away from "leaving money on the table".

See y'all around and this time you can be 100% sure that whatever I say is because I mean it, instead of upping my post count. (Really, you can never be 100% sure when someone's in a signature campaign, no offence)

How much of your posting do you think was to increase your post count or wasn't something you truly meant?
Purely curious, I'm not a crusader, and if I've misunderstood you then I apologize.

You still think that spam will only be reduced if paid signatures are banned ?
It may introduce many other complications / effects but for the SPAM, i think it will be completely eliminated.

If you think that spam will be completely eliminated with the removal of paid signatures, then you haven't been around long enough.
What about the 1-post newbie spam asking for loans? Those have literally nothing to do with signature campaigns.
