But signatures are a problem, why do i need to go to settings and block the signatures or the user because their signature is spamming and annoying?
What if i am accessing the forum without login in?

There is no doubt that you are completely obsessed with the idea that signatures are the reason why someone wants or does not want to be on this forum - so I can also ask you how you deal with ads on television, radio, internet or billboards? There are others who think that signatures should be completely banned - but I don't see how that would improve the activity of the forum, unless you think that in that case thousands of people from other social platforms would suddenly start using this forum?

Also i notice that some treads there is a warning saying that the creator of the post is a scammer, i never seen that on Discord or Telegram.
Take a look at ONION tread, there is a big warning, but there is no warning on their Telegram.

First you need to get acquainted with all the possibilities and rules of the forum, and then you will learn that this forum has its own ways to combat scammers, and one of them is to create just such warnings - which of course has nothing to do with other social networks or forums where someone advertises in any way.

Well

1. Most people join here to make money and sigs were or are part of that. I mean you're wearing chipmixer right? Of course any talk of removing banners is a conflict of interest for you and others currently on the top earning sigs.
2. Those warnings at the top of threads are above some of the most valuable threads on this forum where there is zero evidence of any financially motivated wrongdoing at all on that members post history.
So that does not help matters.

Either way my posts on this thread are a comprehensive guide to where to go from here.
The problem is it doesn't suit DT members to make the optimal changes so they just ignore them and pretend not to understand those are the best suggestions and actions to take to increase volume or make the board open to massive increase in volume the next time the gold rush alarm goes off in the media.

DT members generally want to retain the systems that have helped kill bitcointalk but which have allowed them to cream off the best rev streams, but want the traffic back to help advertise and keep the board running, but dont want them to make any money or be competition for their rev streams.

Won't happen. If there is no perceived gold rush for them (noobs on general) then they will never come back.

It's like saying there's lottery running but only the tickets we purchase have a chance of winning anything worth having. Even then the noobs do the slightest thing we dont like or criticise us and their chance to win next to nothing is perm revoked by us.

Sorry people won't play under those conditions.

Almost like advertising a race over 500miles were some start a 499miles completed.

Or hey want to play monopoly once we own all the property and have all the land and control the bank.
I also believe this realization is a prime motivator for a lot of those trying to cheat to get ahead or catch up.

The worst thing theymos did was create systems where a tiny % of members controlled other members ability to earn based on their subjective views and own personal selfish gain. It was completely stupid and has totally backfired. I mean how can it be difficult to understand that will create a conflict of interest when there is a finite supply of rev here. The fact those are generally those that have taken over the best rev streams whilst most have no achievements here of any real note and can't even produce examples of original thought provoking posts that really made any difference here.

Remove the massive control and advantage of a tiny proportion of members over all other members or the board is going to just drift down perm. Even another ATH will not bring activity like the last or maybe nowhere near it as the board is now.
