that one thing that bitcointalk should do is to stop the Signatures.
would stopping the signature be better for the forum? if it does have a positive impact on the forum, surely there will be enough active members currently supporting it. although I'm sure it will annoy those already in business on forums.
Regarding spammers, I think the forum has enough users who care about making reports moderators. let's hope it works well.
if there's going to be an update in the year, I'm just hoping there's an update for Moderators who have been inactive on some boards.
