Let the signatures be only seen or limit on Meta or where serious discussions pop up, rather on the boards that only care for their post counts, that would stop all the problem. ICO will be lessen too day by day.
That will lead to an influx of spam posts in meta,and considering the fact that spammers are getting more and more upgraded by the day,as they no longer post one liners,but long unmeaningful replies,it will almost be impossible to clear the trash that'll will be dropped off in meta

Usually The Topic subjects contains [ico] in them,Could that be one way to filter it out ?

Well since it's that easy to spot you could try avoinding clicking on them, as you have no interest.
Also you could report the post to the moderators to have it loved to the appropriate board.
And you could also put a regular poster of such ICO announcement threads on your ignore list

I try to lookup Newly Launched Altcoins and while going through these threads there are Ico which i just pass through but sometimes it gets boring xD
Also,There are ICO Ann threads which have Already received significant views in The Altcoin Announcements section,Is it ok to report to the moderator to move the thread? Is it being enforced strongly ?

If the people have already added the thread to their watchlist, they will continue to watch it even if it moves. (I believe the default is that any thread you post in is automatically added.) Also, it is always ok to use the report to moderator function. The moderator can decide if it is good, bad or to not take any action.

I don't know how anyone who's not a bounty spammer can find threads actually worthy of discussion without having the following sections on ignore:

Altcoin Discussion
Announcements (Altcoins)
Tokens (Altcoins)
Mining (Altcoins)
Pools (Altcoins)
Marketplace (Altcoins)
Service Announcements (Altcoins)
Service Discussion (Altcoins)
Bounties (Altcoins)
Speculation (Altcoins)

If I didn't block those, my unread posts feed would be clogged with all of the moronic BS that the above sections spit out on a second-by-second basis.  These sections IMO represent the worst of the worst here on bitcointalk, and sadly there are quite a few runner ups for that ignominious crown.

Well, unfortunately, if you like to dabble in altcoins, you do need to sift through much of these to glean information or try to get help. Mprep is doing the best job that he can.
P.S.: I am not a bounty spammer. I've dabbled in the past, but I don't like the pressure of having minimum post requirements on this forum or multiple social media sites. I do have an eye on the one you are enrolled in ATM, only because it pays well and doesn't pressure people to post 20+ posts a week.

Until the ICO spammers stop doing that....
Which they would be sure to do.  They mutate and adapt faster than any virus known to man.

OK, maybe I was a little over-broad in my statement about who finds that stuff interesting, but even if you just want legit discussions about altcoins, you have to sift through the morass of spam topics to find one worthy of posting in.

I'm not interested in Erc-20 ICOs and they make up quite a significant part of the Altcoin Announcement thread.If other forum members have a similar opinion,We could request a feature to Filter ICOs.

First of all, how would the system detect an ICO thread/post?

People need to report the thread to the moderator and have it moved to the proper section. That is the only way to combat this, unfortunately.

Till now, I used to know, erc20 token's ANN are posted in Token (Altcoins). Don't know why people don't follow the rules.
There is no way to filtering such if those are not posted in specified boards.
