Well, Theymos has given a grace period of one month, to wind up all these things including signature campaigns. Now the question comes whether we show respect to the theymos decision and remove our signatures as soon as possible for everyone benefit and to show that we respect the forum decisions or will you people will keep wearing the signatures till 31 December so that you earn every penny you can. Also it means that most users are not willing to let go mixers signatures as they keep them till the last seconds.
There is no point having to fast forward a rule that has been by designed to have its effect kicked off on the first of January. It’s clearly written on the news field and has got an active thread for it. I get it that, time zones might be different but, forum time stays UTC which would count towards this action and I see most of the users promoting a mixer at the time to be some of the smart ones in the forum, highly concerned with the safety and integrity of their user to note be conscious enough knowing the risk involved.
I would also hope to see some notifications be sent out by forum administrators to concerned users as well as managers in the event that they get carried away by the festivity and I see the forum playing some rule in having some of these threads archived amongst other means of repose.
Until the appointed time draws near, there isn’t a need to hasten up what would be.
