If you want a forum without the freedom to advertise in your signature, you can literally choose from thousands of other forums. Go there, and see if it's better than Bitcointalk. If it is, you've found your new place to discuss online. If it isn't, you'll be back.
All we need here is enforcing the
Signature Campaign Guidelines. I expect that would end all campaigns that pay useless tokens, some campaigns that pay in Bitcoin but at very low rates (I can think of 2 old online casinos) and it would end the biggest Bitcoin paying spam campaign Stake (check
the top 20 posters and see who pays most of them).
Wow, amazing stats! I never knew about this stats page... thank you, LoyceV. It looks like "Legendary" members are leading the way, and it makes sense too since Legendary is the final destination for most users, and it stays that way.
But one thing I noticed is "Copper Member: 805 posts (117 users)." Technically speaking, the Copper Member is not a separate position but just an additional title to your existing position. For example, my member rank is "Legendary." However, since I'm wearing a Copper Membership, my posts are included in the Copper Members category, not Legendary.
