The reason is that most things people promote are completely run-of-the-mill and that is especially true when it comes to things people can promote with minimal effort: in this context, just by taking a minute or two to set up a sig. Instead, I click on links within text if the text makes the product/service sound interesting, and often just because the poster has gone to the trouble of writing a decent promo piece. That alone makes him/her stand out from the crowd here and might mean they put something extra into their product/service too.

JDL seems to be a consistent abuser with an oversize sig and yet the "enforcement" that effects others does not seem to apply to him or other preferred SigWhores. Not to mention the thousands of moronic, thoughtless, uncreative, humorless, boring, and meaningless threads used as an pathetic excuse to whore the "product of the moment" even further.
What would be useful would be an option to the "ignore list" that simply would not display any thread started by the selected "whores". Another thing
would be "equal" and "consistent" enforcement of the sig rules for all GFY posters. I don't agree with pulling all sigs because of a group of "losers & abusers", but that group will continue unless the mods do something.
