We need an 'Ignore sig' button
I find ads annoying as fuck, but oddly enough, because they're in the signatures I hardly notice them, this website seems to be nice enough not to do the typical ones most advertisers do which are horrible where there's lots of flashing etc. to annoy you on purpose. I do think there should be limits on the use of colour though, if they're just plain text I'm rarely bothered by them. I also approve that more advertisers like Tradefortress are offering up much fairer terms than even normal advertisers because they aren't trying to force websites to accept commission based payments, I bet you PPC style advertisers are going to die off eventually because everybody hates them.
I've actually been tempted by some of them, but they'd have to offer more if they want to spam my webspace and signature like they do or they'd have to play by my rules.

I'd be a lot happier with sigs in general if they couldn't be formatted, aside from links.
AgreedThis is never addressed though
I completely agree too.
An option to disable signature formatting (set to true by default, for new users) would be enough for me.
People who fancy a 1%-house-edge-full-colored-big-letters ad for a "refreshing" break during a long thread read could still enable it.
Please, theymos!
EDIT : To make you more comfortable with this, I can assure you a lot of polluting signatures stand out much more than your official ads.
Which, obviously, make the official ads worth much less.

2/3 of my arguments were completely unrelated to me.
I could do without all the colored crap turning my monitor into My Little Pony barf, but my eyes (and probably everyone elses') are trained to gloss right past text below the signature bar - so whatever.

you are entitled to your opinion no matter how ignorant I think you sound.

There is nothing wrong with sig ads IMO.
Woot

also, check the thread where the forum does Sell ads they sell them for a lot of money they have no problem selling them because there are a lot of power house companies that will drop the money immediately and will also out Bid other competitors for the ad.
The funny thing is, forum ads don't account for even a fifth of the ads people see per thread.I could do without all the colored crap turning my monitor into My Little Pony barf, but my eyes (and probably everyone elses') are trained to gloss right past text below the signature bar - so whatever.
(Maybe I don't write as well as I did, or lost all respect - but I was able to get 15 referral clicks in 2 months roughly a year and a half ago which has provided me a steady trickle of income. I tried the same referral link for about a month this year and accumulated 0 referrals.)
best of luck in the raffle mate!
Move along.

you are entitled to your opinion no matter how ignorant I think you sound. Selling peoples signatures or renting peoples signatures helps the community as well as businesses grow, have you ever thought about that?
Buying out users signatures as advertisements is being taken to the next level. There is far too many of them. Literally every 2nd post contains a signature violently advertising a gambling site or something along those lines.
To a newcomer this honestly makes the forum & Bitcoin as a whole look like one big joke. A bunch of people who have such little self respect that they use their signature to advertise for a measly $20 or so worth of BTC.
Not to mention the negative affect this has on the management team of the forum in relation to the ad revenue. Why would you want to buy a couple of ad's for a week when you could buy 300 peoples signatures for a month for half the price.
Thoughts?
Edit: It has now come to the point where people buying these signature based advertisements are paying higher to people who make more posts in a select period of time. This is encouraging spam & now not only taking away from the forums from a visual perspective, but a content perspective.
