The forum would be 100% better without signature campaigns. If signature campaigns were to continue, the right way to do it would be for the forum to allow everyone to advertise and receive equal pay through the forum.

Without signature campaigns, we'd see the useless members here that go around starting drama because they need to post something, disappear. Builders could build without being harassed just so some useless member can start drama to make a couple bucks posting. Those who are here only for money would go broke and disappear... Scammers would get tired of hanging around here and not getting paid to post on alts causing them to disappear... Obsessing over control of the trust network would also disappear, as these people would have no payback for their time spent trying to get control. We might even see actual productive members return, and professional forum users find another place to post nonsense.

Good point and I think many more agree with this but is to scared to say it because they are so scared to lose their few bucks they make from a sign campaign.
And thank you for answer from your point of view and didn't take the OP personal like the most others or licking some nerd's ass without even reading the OP and answer from their own point of view.

I think without the possibility to earning money from posting, this forum would be at least a little bit better but also much less traffic, but maybe the traffic would be much better!?

Remove the signature campaigns and you will remove 90%+ of the forum traffic. Sure, overall post quality in that case would be better as people would only post when they actually have to add something meaningful, but at the same time forum would become completely irrelevant so in the end signature campaigns are necessary to keep this forum alive.

Agree.
