It's a bit like with securing your account on an exchange or any forum. Each additional obstacle will deter a number of people that would normally abuse the system.
Phone number, VPN, watching your style while at the same time making sure your account doesn't get banned for low quality posts... It's usually not worth the additional money you'd get by having multiple accounts in the same campaign.
Of course you can bypass the phone requirement, but let's not forget that you need the same number to withdraw. If you use a public sms gateway the number is not yours. It can disappear, and your campaign payment along with it. I know you can buy a cheap card, but this way we're getting back to the first part of my post.

As signature campaign managers don't have access to IP, it is easy to join from multiple accounts. If you post in same style, they might catch you.
You'd be surprised how easy it is. It's just that most managers decide to ignore it as long as the posts are of decent quality.
If they really want to weed out the farmers all you have to do is ask them to create accounts on your site and withdraw from there, but I don't think it's worth the time.
It wouldnt stop account farming nor sig. campaign cheating since they would just create alot of accounts on their site also, even if you have the
sms requirement to log-in like bit-x, all it takes is 5 minutes googling and that gets bypassed also, same IP protection is even easier than that.

Agreed.

It can also be overcome using VPNs and multiple BTC addresses. Then user can sent BTC from address-2 to few truted sites and withdraw to address-1 from them after 1 or 2 days but not at the same time.
P.S. Taint analysis of addresses would be better but it is hard and most of the managers won't do it.

I see no real problem when I person tries to join signature campaign with 2 accounts. As long as your posts are legit, coherent and are not spammy slush it should be ok. Some companies do not forbid it at all.
It might not be a problem, especially if they're making decent quality posts, but campaign managers are free to state their own rules though they're only enforceable by them and like others have mentioned very hard to police effectively (though stingle seems to do a good job but that usually down to people being sloppy with their addresses.

I want to mention that the most strict campaign I have experienced is the Lucky.bit, but their reward is really attractive for farming account. They tracked the bitcoin address of every account who have enrolled or apply to enroll. If bitcoin address are associated with any existing or previous members of the campaign, then they are out.

But nowadays the signature campaign is becoming strict to the requirement of enrollment. Some of them don't allow to farm their signiture campaign.

And It is difficult to manage to make all the quality posts with so many accounts. I think it depents on how long of your spare time you have got to post them, but not spamming them otherwise you get banned. You should figure out the balance yourself.
You are right. Some people still post in a topic and make replies to their posts with their alts. It is still hard but many of them go unseen. Recently, some of the top posters were banned(Madness, marcotheminer etc...). Mods have been more strict and they are doing their job pretty well. IMHO you can be in safe zone if you only have one account and is making on-topic post. To make on-topic posts, SaltySpitoon gave a great advise:
Keep in mind, the only real way to avoid spamming is to think critically about posts and topics you respond to.

How many accounts I'm able to have and farm in signature campaigns without doing anything agains't the rules of the forum ? I'm talking about getting full into the sub-forums and start giving a hand and getting some knownledge to myself. Thanks in advice.
As many as you can handle whilst keeping post quality up while avoiding spamming. Keep in mind, the only real way to avoid spamming is to think critically about posts and topics you respond to.
There is no limit as to how many accounts you can have/farm. At one point I personally had as many as ~70 accounts, although when you have that many it is very difficult to manage them all without having to resort to spamming.
I would say that if you start to farm much more then 10 or so accounts then you will likely start breaking anti-spam rules if you want them enrolled in any signature campaign or if you want them to have their maximum number of activity points. Having more then that many however would not directly break any forum rules.
