You seem to be trying to equate different kinds of activities. 

I did not know that there was a rule against wearing a signature.  There are a lot of members who wear signatures and they have rights to wear signatures.  I used to wear a signature and I was paid, but I discontinued because I found it to be too much of a hassle to keep up with it...   But, sure some members participate in signature campaigns and others promote themselves and other engage in some combination of promoting themselves and promoting some kind of business while getting  paid for that.  Signatures are part of forum culture (and privilege too).

Also, if you are accusing someone of abusing the trust system, then you have to go beyond merely making allegations that someone has been using that trust system to mark people with positive, negative and neutral ratings, and lauda's conduct is not even the topic of this thread in that regard,..... well you know that, but you want to make it part of the topic because of your stretch of an idea that there is one gang that is against another gang or some continued amorphous concept, and such theory seems to even start with very bad underlying theories of colluding and just great stretches of imagination as far as I can see as soon as I start to read some of your claims, they just go all over the place with lots of ongoing false equivalences and poor logic even if you might present a potentially damning fact or two that might be correct from time to time.
