Should Warrior Forum charge for Sigs?

To minimize spam and mutliple 'pump and post' forum 'marketing' shenanigans, should WF charge for signatures?

    Well they already charge for sigs with pics. Do you mean normal/text sigs? Nah, that's one of the thing that keeps a lot of users active. I'm sure they have a control measure if it's abused though.

    I like it as it is

    Maybe only when the sig takes up three times the size of the post.
    Signature

    I think it would cut down on spam honestly, but I would also like to see stricter rules on posting in the Warriors for Hire section. I have seen some threads from users that have never contributed to the forum really which makes it less trustworthy in my opinion.

      That makes sense. So no WFH or WSO ads from people who aren't really active at WF?

    I don't know of any forum that charges for sig's, excluding here for an image and I think it would be greedy to ask members to pay for them despite the supposed pitfalls.

    Spammers are spamming. They spam links in title, post, and signature so this is surely not the ultimate way to stop all that.

    If we have to pay for signatures to stop spam, I see the day not too far when threads in all categories will be charged too.

    Limiting the ability to set signature before xx number of posts are published may help though.
