This might be one of the ways to go, no doubt.
I have one self moderated thread and I try to keep it as clean as possible, however it may be painful at times.
One must devote additional time and work to keep his thread tidy and we all now how precious time is, not everybody will take the hassle, some just don't care etc. There is a case of deleting obvious spam posts, pasts and gibberish talking but how to determine correctly which is which? People will get angry, some will start to troll, just to test OP patience, along with it trust abusing comes to mind. Tough nut to crack.
Nevertheless worth a try, my experience with self moderation is more than fine.

The answer is very simple, from now on:
Only start moderated threads
Only converse in moderated threads
Simply delete all signature spam posts
Eventually all the signature spammers will die off
Eventually the entire market for farmed accounts will die off
We can still have signatures
But we will not have to put up with people that do not read the thread
Voilà! Bitcointalk becomes a useful, clean, happy place once again.
