A lot of people come here primarily looking to make money. The forum administration is very happy that people are able to use the forum in order to better themselves; indeed, one of the reasons for Bitcoin's creation was to break the artificial barriers which prevent so many people around the world from attaining prosperity. However, if your attempts to make money conflict with the forum's primary goal of enabling discussion, then you are swimming upstream, and you will not be sucessful in the end.
If you view the forum as some sort of "job" where you complete some basic tasks and get paid, then you will almost certainly be disappointed, and the forum administration will not be sympathetic. If you do make money using the forum, then it will be through innovation and entrepreneurship, not any sort of mindless busywork.
The forum has a long history and signature was disabled in the past. Back in 2017 and 2018, a spam endemic on the forum and community request together lead to the implementation of merit system (on 24th Jan 2018). About 5 months later (in June 2018), theymos moved further to demote all zero-merit-earned old-era Junior members to Newbies. They only be able to rank up again if earn at least 1 merit.
Next, the bump score changes was implemented to reduce effects from spam advertisements. Bump services was destroyed by bump score.
