We're all of the same opinion but just because some group of people are more invested in abusing the privilege given to them, that doesn't mean other have to be punished for it, I guess that's the reason behind theymos not banning all the avenues to profit monetary from the forum like signature and bounties.

Users that does adhere to the rule and regulations of the forum and spend most of their time on the forum do deserve same like social media feelings (earning opportunity). This days 90% of the social platform can be used as a host platform for personal side hustles or earn directly from the sites. I believe the forum does have the interest of giving her users such feeling as they stays engage with the forum.

The forum would had been a more friendly environment if everyone understand what the privilege are and not considered them to be some milking avenue for their financial difficulties but that's too much to ask from the spammers.
