I been trying to say like five times now that the signatures are a problem because they generate spam.
Spam reduces forum activity.
Because spam is annoying.
Nobody would post here other than maybe 5 or 10 people if there were no signatures.
Signatures brought life to this forum.
Dealing with spam is the mods job. If mods delete every shit-post there is and ban whoever keeps posting shit, it would be a self-correcting problem.
tldr;
signatures are good
spam is bad
signatures bring spam but;
sigCamp != spam when mods delete spam.
forum needs more signature camps to revive itself.
