but still its a users choice where they want to post, campaign rules are not really required to follow. users should always remember signature campaign is not a job (though campaigns really help some people). signature campaigns is only an incentive while you are posting here in the forum and not paying you to make post, its not the same
And who says that signature campaign should not be considered a job?
I am not encouraging spammers by saying that they "need" to make xx amount of posts in order to get paid as they will be caught eventually, but if you are saying that we should not go by the rules if in a signature campaign, better not to join it, ah?
Signature campaigns should be treated as an assigned job as you are in because you are supposed to advertise them, obviously through contributing in a better way and not through spamming.
job
noun \ˈjäb\
1. a piece of work; especially a small miscellaneous piece of work undertaken on order at a stated rate
Seems to me like it checks out. Signature campaigns are tasks that you sign up for - you fulfill a quota to receive payment. The pay rates can differ, but the principle is still the same. Think of most jobs in the world - they can be usually compared to signature campaigns. There are rules, there are managers, and there is payment for your work done.
In signature campaigns, you are paid to market to consumers. However, you aren't paid on clicks or views but rather the quantity of the number of posts you spit out - similar to renting out billboards. In this case, the user is the billboard and that is their job.
But the problem is the sheer amount of spam. In real life, would you really just slack off in your job and crank out shit to fulfill your quota for payment?

If given the opportunity to do so, a lot of people would. That's the problem. Spammers exist because they can; part of the blame lies on the signature campaigns that AREN'T cracking down on spammers and allowing them to exist in the forum.
