I had to quickly head over to the gambling section to check how many threads will fall under this category.
On the Gambling discussion child board;
I identified 6 of such threads in the first and second page on the board.
The way I see it, not counting signatures in this threads anymore would just push spammers to post on other threads and the cycle continues till those ones gets above 1k pages. Rinse and repeat again.
I'm "not sure" if this would be effective.

At the very least, they would find it difficult to begin spamming in a thread with quality posters, as their posts would be easily detected and reported. The mega thread gives them a lot of freedom to operate, and it makes tracking and reporting difficult because the pages move in the blink of an eye. Another option was to make all threads self-moderated, allowing the OP to clean and dry.
As you added a poll, you should also add an option for "No" too 
So I'd vote No, but you've missed that option.
I'm not sure i missed that
