I wonder how much participation around here would stop if this happened. Do you think the folks chiming in everywhere with chipmixer signatures would keep posting? How many DT1 members would suddenly disappear?
Do you think that those who have a CM signature are the biggest problem on the forum? Of those fifty people who are in the campaign, maybe 50% would stop being active, maybe all of them would disappear with time, but maybe some who don't do it just for the sake of earning would stay.
In my opinion, the biggest threat is those bad signature managers and bunches of spammers that they employ to promote even an obviously proven scam. This is the only reason why the admin can ban signatures, and he has explicitly written that several times.
What about people selling coins and other products in the goods section… Would there be anyone left to buy? It seems like this forum is heavily reliant upon signature campaigns at the moment. This is what we built… I wonder if we’ll see even more signature campaigns and paid posters as a result of no legitimate means of advertising here now.
The problem is not in the number of signature campaigns, but in the fact that even now there are no quality members to fill what is now available. This only means that the criteria will be lowered even more, which consequently means more spam and shitposting.
