I honestly think it's now time to ban signature campaigns from being advertised on the forum and ban threads openly buying/selling accounts on the forum.
The quality of the content posted on the forum has gone downhill so much and its directly attributed to these two activities,
I know there is no way to stop it and it's impossible to enforce a rule banning such activities as they will still happen off the forum in private, but at least it will mitigate it and increase the signal-to-noise ratio on the forum somewhat, because right now it seems the majority of posters do not even read the threads they are replying to.
I'd also recommend making the signature links nofollow to reduce the SEO juice signature campaigners get, which would also help. I don't see any reason why links posted in signatures should get SEO juice.
Topic: [CRUSADE] Report "ad-sponsored rubbish posts" - page 2. (Read 1686 times)
Anyone can have whatever he want in his signature , I'm with you when you told the useless posts are increasing . But there are users don't post "rubbish" 
; so finally I think "ban" the sig. campaign is pointless .
; so finally I think "ban" the sig. campaign is pointless .As I stated - I would be happy enough if we just get the forum "cleaned up" so don't miss that point please (and people with "ad sigs should not really be replying" to this).
You are warned not to reply again unless you really have something relevant to add (or you will be reported - your above post was basically *crap* but I'll let that one slide).
Although I know the mods are trying their best to "weed out the ever increasing amount of crap posts" we are seeing due to "paid sig posting campaigns" I see more such campaigns being created and more and more rubbish posts being posted.
Please consider clicking the Report to Admin link on any "useless post" posted by someone with an "ad sig" (whether or not you know it is part of a "paid sig posting campaign" because if the post is "rubbish" then it is more than likely than not that is why it is there annoying you).
If enough of us do this then either it'll result in "a clean up of the forum" or a "banning of paid sig posting campaigns" (the latter being my preference but either result would be better than the current situation).

So just to let all those "ad sig posters" know that I am now reporting all the crap posts I am seeing (off-topic or just plain stupid posts as well as the more like "+1" posts).
I suggest others thinking of supporting my "campaign" should include the text "ad sig post" in the "report" (such as "obvious ad sig post" or "looks like an ad sig post").
I guess the mods might get pissed off at me for reporting so many posts (as I am going to do this for every single shitty post that affronts me) but really - if this forum would prefer to read "that crap" than anything I have to post then "I am okay with getting banned" (i.e this is a "declaration of war").
