Topic: end of all signature campaigns (Read 1909 times)

It could end if client's ran out.
It would be good if we could try to market, advertise, provide referral incentives.
Help to keep this community going.

A signature campaign is organized by company who want to promote/advertise their services, but they pay good to their campaigners.
If you have Time, knowledge about bitcoins and have mobile or PC  you can earn money from this.
This thing will never end until demand and supply for bitcoins are there.
Though mass information is available about bitcoin on internet, people still believe in bitcoin signature forum.
Here the share or ask their questions, get solved their quarries.
This helps in advertising bitcoin indirectly.
Also signature campaign companies are getting good income from this activity.
So why one would close signature campaing. 

much better if they will just leave because it can bring back the good old forum with good quality contents and yes i agree that signature campaign and bounty campaign are the main reasons why there were more registered users here lately in the forum and i know that they only care about free money and working at home online , joining and promoting those crap coins.  as a result , the site now  looks unhealthy because of their garbage that made the forum looks polluted.

I think more member here in forum will left because signature campaign is reason why more users enter in this forum it is the method which give them huge income and this method not requires investment. But me i do not left in this forum i learn lots of things about digital currency and what is the uses of this also there are other method that we can do as our source of bitcoin but i am hoping that signature campaigns, bounties will not end and continue to create more projects in crypto currency and make this forum much give more learning for all members.

That would be absolutely wonderful.  Every night I pray to my favorite god for that to happen.

I would love for traffic to drop because the quality traffic will remain, making it a much better site. I already have most of the sig campaign posters in my ignore list, so I don't think that I will miss anything.

Yeah, I think it's probably pretty much original to this forum (though others have followed suit now (Roger Ver's one I believe)), but I'm guessing you haven't seen people shitposting as prolifically as they do here on any other forum either, because people are so desperate to earn as much as they can over as many accounts as they can possibly manage. Lazy campaigns need to be harshly punished and until they are nothing will change around here.

No doubt that traffic will drop considerably ...
I like the signatures campaigns , I found it very original, I had never seen it in other forums.

Well the traffic and activity of this forum will be decreased significantly if that happens.
Lets hope it does not.

I totally agree with you and I expressed something similar in my former comment on this post although I didn’t know about bitcoin.com and Roger Ver.

I think one thing is to clean the forum of obvious shitposters and clear spam and another thing is to go too far as to leave only high quality posting and get rid of campaigns which would kill this forum and leave others (like bitcoin.com) the opportunity to take its place and get traffic and revenue transferred there.

For now, I can see that there still will be a lot of campaigns that are coming but always keep in mind that this thing can't be permanent. Posting is not a professional skill so you really need to have any skills that you can rely once it ends.

I agree that there's a ton of shitposters that can't speak english properly trying to get bitcoins. I understand it, because on third world countries, they make more doing so than on some enslaving physical labour, but we have to keep some decorum on the forum. Completely shutting down signature campaigns on the forum would be a huge mistake tho.

There will always be a demand for this, and guess what will happen if you get rid of the signature campaigns: Bitcoin.com (owned by Roger Ver) would advertise his site as signature campaign friendly. This would mean a massive increase of traffic on their site, which would end up in a better ranked website on google searches than this site, and we don't want Bitcoin.com to become the number one ranked bitcoin forum for obvious reasons.

So I say keep the signatures, just ban the obvious 30 post a day shitposters and it will be good enough. It's worth the hassle, you don't want bitcoin.com becoming a dominant forum and believe me, traffic is key to rank good on google, so don't claim you are losing money because people would buy the native ad spaces on here, the better ranking due increased traffic is worth the money, and google doesn't care about what users are posting, as long as they are legit users and not bots it qualifies as legit traffic that will help you rank.

Don't forget that Ver has two goals:

1) Turn /btc/ as the better ranked Bitcoin reddit
2) Turn his website has teh better ranked Bitcoin forum

Anything that helps this not happening is welcomed.

There is a reason for the campaigns to end.  They destroy the forum's content quality.  However, from a business perspective, the reasons for the campaigns to end would be reduced advertising revenue or a decrease in user participation on the site.  If that day ever comes, I imagine we would see action similar to what I have proposed previously...  Adding a 2 BTC donation level (perhaps contributor) and removing or severely restricting signatures from all non-donation accounts.  This would boost forum advertising revenue and increase donations while providing increased income for those willing to invest in the site.  Doing this before advertising revenue or site participation begins to decline threatens to harm your userbase and thus growth by removing a source of income for new user participation not to mention preemptively firing a weapon for fighting future revenue declines.  I imagine at some point this site will shift gears from fostering growth to unlocking value, but I suspect that day is a long way off.

I agree with you sir. As long as bitcoin lives, more people become aware and the popularity of it increases then I doubt that signature campaigns will soon end.

What factors caused no campaign or should close this forum? But I do not think there will be one reason to close this forum, there will be a lot of consideration to be done. This forum is the most powerful tool for campaigning, as omegastarscream staff says,
The more people joining this forum, the better putting a campaign here. Chances are very small, I will also be confused if that happens.

There's no reason for campaigns to end. First, the developers of this site is earning good money. Same goes with the users of this site. So, I think it's impossible for the owner and the users to abandon or close this site. However, maybe it's possible if one day the web site will crash for no reason or if it's hacked.

There is a saying that There's no Forever.
Which actually true ( For me ). Maybe After How many years of making bitcoin a good Foundation for the currency all over the world.
but saying that bitcoin will end.? it will never happen. maybe also signature campaigns will end if there is no more Projects to be advertise. but the more the technology is upgrading and gadgets are improving, i don't think that campaigns will end. power of Internet is beyond Limit. Through campaigns, traffics is affiliated, cycle of earning Money. people always seeks money.

It's a great advantage for between side !

Side 1 : Forum able gain revenue for advertising through auction and traffic
Side 2 : More people visit the forum because they got paid by the company who want to advertise on this forum

I think that can never happen. Though, i think there will be a decrease on ICOs if other countries will ban it, then signature and other campaigns will be affected as well. This forum has been generating a lot of traffic nowadays as more people globally has been turning to cryptocurrency.

Somebody already asked for this back in 2014:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/just-remove-signatures-already-as-in-delete-disable-gone-786662

but Theymos decided to keep allowing signature campaigns.

Pity.
