I been trying to say like five times now that the signatures are a problem because of the spam they generate spam.
Spam reduces forum activity.
Because spam is annoying.
Nobody understand it, so i been trying to explain the same thing with other words, not trying to push my agenda to ban signatures, just pointing out that they are annoying. and i been called names and that i should disable signatures and that i should do other thing to bypass the spam.
I also pointed out that this conversation is pointless because most of the members are worried because the reduced activity in the forum and they are of course worried because they will lose their income once this forum dies.
I also pointed out that those members who are running the spam signature are slowly killing the forum so why they complain, as an example i give you the Easter Island, inhabitants of those islands cut all the trees to move the head stones, they cut all the trees of the island so the population declined and collapsed, so imagine talking with an Easter Island resident and he is telling you how he can make the Island better, and you tell him that maybe he should not cut all the trees, and he tell you, yes but we need to move those head stones, and they keep telling you, how we make the island better? and you say again, don't cut the trees, and then the loop never ends, well, that is you with your signature.
Because signatures are not like TV or Radio ads, Bitcointalk signatures are annoying because there are only a few running and they are all the same, like in this tread, how many Chipmixer signatures are?
