better everyday ♥

In fact, many users with signatures are still very active in their posts, so ignoring them all is unfair Roll Eyes

I think you should ignore the users that you don't like, it will take a lot of time but that's the best way

Or if you feel uncomfortable with the signatures on this forum, you can ignore it in the account settings: Look and Layout Preferences

Honestly, this is the first thing that comes to my mind when reading your title LOL Grin

Ditty! £ $ ₹ € ¥ ¢ ≠ ÷ ™

Say for example you picked a random signature campaign to ignore such as ChipMixer, even though you don't see the post, the person who created the post gets $6 per post they made.

It's a hard one to answer which is a better campaign to view or ignore. Some start and fizzle out while users wear one badge they are vieing for the next fix/hit by asking to join a new signature campaign while wearing the previous campaign signature. (Effectively being paid to jump ship)

You'll find out who the shit posters are (the ones who are ten feet tall and bullet proof shooting their mouths off while being paid by managers who tick the box user X, Y and Z have done 100 character posts)

Ignoring the post doesn't stop the posts from occurring.

Not all signatures are bad. Some members promoting bounties, and really great and helpful posters.

In my opinion, it's far better to add individual members to your ignore list.

Leave no FUD unchallenged

It might be 3 years out of date now, but DannyHamilton's custom ignore list is here. Add those names to get started, then just continue to ignore bad posters as you see them.

a pre-made ignore list that included everyone wearing a signature

Not quite everyone, just most of them.

Hi,

I was looking for some information about trading (I am more and more into trading and I really love it, haven't made a losing trade since 2018). I opened the trading section, saw some nice threads, but even there most of the replies are off and irrelevant, then it is easy to see why, those replying are just boosting their post count by writing nonsense or pointless stuff.

Then opened other topics and all were similar, which led me to the idea of a possibility to configure a ignore function, for example put all the members who have a signature, and maybe exclude from this very large group the legendary members (who are more likely to write good posts)?

Possible or not?
This would make this place so much easier to read. Thanks for your consideration.

this is not possible with this forum software. maybe it helps you to hide signatures?
it might help the reading flow... I've never tried it myself but maybe it's a compromise that helps you

Profile -> Look and Layout Preferences -> check "Don't show users' signatures."

I have no doubt your experience was just as you described, because when I joined bitcointalk almost five years ago my impression was pretty much the same as yours--and it is indeed frustrating. It's actually gotten better since the introduction of the merit system, but some sections are still filled with garbage posts.

Danny Hamilton used to have a pre-made ignore list that included everyone wearing a signature, but I wouldn't recommend using something like that. The fact is that most members here are in signature camapaigns, including some of the best posters on the forum. If you put them all on ignore, you'd probably be left with only members with the rank of Newbie that can't advertise in their signature space.

My suggestion would be to just add to your ignore list manually as you notice members posting nonsense. That's what I've done, and it's worked out pretty well.
