If we get into this debate of whether it is moral and right or not to join a signature campaign that does not support your principles, we get into a really long one.  That is because I think all sides can have both good and bad points to score.  Joining Wasabi's signature campaign is perfectly fine if you support them, since that would be the ideal case anyway, but it is also perfectly fine if you do not because after all what you might think is 'why would I miss this opportunity?'.  To some here, it is probably extremely immoral to join a signature campaign that is against your principles, to others it may be perfectly fine.  This is fine as well to me.

Then you think about it, why would you help promote something that is against your principles.  But if you do not, then someone will take that spot anyway and the one on a loss is going to be you.  This gets worse and, on the other hand, also better at the same time if all the good posters of the forum avoid joining the said campaign while only shit posters apply and join it.  Worse because then you have shit posters earning in some cases more money than you do from posts that suck, but better because if you have only bad posters promoting it then I am pretty sure chances of another user clicking the signature link lower down drastically.  I am very confident someone would rather click the signature link under one of n0nce's posts over the signature link under one of a shit poster's reply.

In some ways, 'renting' a signature room on this forum somehow resembles the process and motives of renting a billboard.  You, as the owner of a billboard, will probably not skip a contract with KFC just because you are a healthy eater.  It stands against your standards and diet, but business is business and if you skip the contract, the next person they contact will not.

There is obviously also a big exception of tolerance, at least in my eyes, which is scams.  When someone is promoting a straight up scam, there is zero way I could ever tolerate or promote it.  So as I said, there is a big debate and you have a lot of room for opinions and arguments that are probably never wrong really.  As mentioned in the first paragraph, all sides can be simultaneously right.

So while there is no way I can blame you for promoting their signature campaign, there are definitely questions I have for Wasabi that might never actually get a legitimate, honest answer from their team as I can clearly see from their reply to n0nce's open letter.
