As i said previously, if we add this, we should be careful with malicious campaigns and should keep the clean design of this website.Text only signatures for free and charge more than spammers will pay for graphics of any kind? The main issue for me with the signature campaigns are how ugly they make the forum look. You're going to get spam no matter what.

Yeah if signatures are moderated to not ruin the design of the website I don't think it would be an issue at allugly and it looks messy.

2 and 3 are most important. No minimum post is essential. It would give me no hurry just to post to meet the minimum requirement.If there really is a big call from members to add signature campaigns is there a way that the forum can moderate the campaigns?
1) All campaigns must have full funds for the duration of the campaign held with a proven escrow provider.
2) All campaign managers must be strict on spam post by their members.
3) No minimum post requirement, that way people don't post crap just to get up to the the payout limit.
4) We don't want any scams here so any campaign accepted must be from proven BTC companies like LuckyBit & Primedice for example.

How many members do we have now? (Excuse me if this is in an obvious location, feel free to point me in the right direction!)If this can be done i think this is a great idea.
I started the talk of signature campaigns early so we could get everything ready before introducing them.
I would like to see 5k members before we start with the campaigns and we also need the rank system ready and working before starting with sig campaigns.
Bottom of the main forum page has the global forum statistics including number of registered users.How many members do we have now? (Excuse me if this is in an obvious location, feel free to point me in the right direction!)If this can be done i think this is a great idea.

thank you for this very frank posting and please think about it that this user is not a spammer. but most of the other signature poster are forced to post xxx amount of postings. they have no choice but to spam.I participated in a couple of sig campaigns in the old forum. I thought of it as something that makes me a little money for something I do anyways.
I am not a spammer, but truth is, I wrote some posts, I might not have send, w/o sig campaign, because I realized , that they don't really contribute to the discussion. So, even though, you don't intend to, participating in a sig campaign changes your behavior. It surely leads to more low-quality posts. Limits, don't change much about that, since you can easily bypass them by creating more accounts. Damn, multi-accounts are even better, since you can just fake discussion with your self. (I once thought about a bot, that just steals discussions from other forums. I am too lazy to really create something like that, but I think, the basic principle is solid)
On the other hand, what are the benefits of sig campaigns? Yay, more ads. Since we don't have enough of them on the internet already. If you want to advertise your site, I guess there is a subforum for that.
I agree that it could be policed easily but on BCT no one is taking care as it looks like. my partner had some PMs with this Mod and it is a shame how he behaved in those PMs.No moderators are to participate in signature campaigns, yes I think that is a good rule.
Since I have looked at it from your point of view I could see why it could be a concern, although it could be policed easily.
I'm not one for signature campaigns and voted no but I will do what the members vote for and so far that is looking like they will become a part of this forum one day.
I will keep working on it until the vote swings.
Be good to hear some of the other moderators views on this one.
Yes I like what you said, this forum is the cleanest forum I've ever seen I should go what majority wins.I've been on many forums and saw how they deal with spam, w/ or w/o signatures. On one, signatures are only allowed for certain post counts, like links become clickable if you have > 300 post. On another, they require a yearly fee to activate clickable signatures, and promotes users to a certain VIP status w/in the forum (w/c also unlocks a sub-forum for users of this rank). Another one I've seen does not allow links in signatures at all. These 3 are on the same niche, and currently, the only one who went active and alive is the 2nd one, in which they allowed sigg but clickable sigs need to be paid for. The other two died b/c of lack of activity.
What I'm saying is that signatures aren't bad, we just need to be creative enough to get all parties happy that would result in the least spam.
Maybe bitcoin.com should run a couple of signature campaigns at bitcointalk.org, not for this forum but for the other services like casino.bitcoin.com and the bitcoin.com news sites to get a bit more interaction between the two forums.
Once some members start playing at the casino or check the news page they are more likely to sign up at the forum too.
A fixed weekly campaign would be good for only sr.meber and above with Lutpin as campaign manager because he is very thorough and does not allow shit posters that only give the company being advertised a bad name.

Good idea, btw check your signature (you forgot to add your uid ).

Would you like to see signature campaigns here on this forum?
I'm trying to think of another way that members can earn small micro payment for each post or by a weekly post count, not easy to think of a way that won't ruin the forum with spam posts.Thanks, fixed now

No, I don't really want to see signature campaigns here on this forum.
I like it. I'm favorable to signatures (probably a bit obvious I suppose ), but I think certain sections could do well of being a "sanctuary" of sorts, where signatures would be absent. These would be the exception though, in my view.I'm trying to think of another way that members can earn small micro payment for each post or by a weekly post count, not easy to think of a way that won't ruin the forum with spam posts.Thanks, fixed now

I was thinking we could have signature advertising on specific boards only so members could earn a little btc by posting on those boards while still giving people a place to discuss bitcoin on the rest of the forum without the advertising and spam posts.
Maybe boards such as gambling, marketplace, lending, ect. could have signatures being displayed since that is what most of the advertising is about anyway and the rest of the forum where bitcoin is being discussed could remain add free.
Anybody like this idea?

Importantly, people that really dislike signatures in general, can simply disable them in the display options.
Cheers bitkilo, I actually joined the team around the same time as you, but I am going for the "stealthiest mod award" Happy to be here!Hi Myagui,I like it.

Thanks for your opinion and welcome to the team, sorry i have not noticed you yet.
I think this idea may work and will look into setting something up this week, hopefully have something up and running within a couple of weeks.
We just need to find companies who want to advertise here now,
You are right it would be a good way to lure a little more traffic here but we don't want to go down that road if its going to lower the post quality, we need to find a middle ground first.I've been lurking this forum for a while and decided to sign up. However, there are still no updates about the signature campaign proposal? It would be a very good way to lure people in the forums.
