Signature campaigns that turn a blind eye to scammers, cheaters & spammers make the forum measurably worse in 2 different ways:

1) They carelessly flood the forum with crap posts that nobody reads.
2) They encourage shitty behavior by hiring cheaters & hacked or bought accounts.

The Stake campaign only hires Legendary or Hero members; I assume because that's supposed to signify their preference for seniority within the forum system. But the meaning and effect behind this is diminished by people who buy their accounts. This is why several of these accounts haven't managed to get over 100 merits in over 10 years of existence: they are absolute shitposters grandfathered into Legendary status before the introduction of the merit system. You wouldn't look twice at their application if they were a rank that corresponds with their actual rate of merit reception, because their posts are so bad.

Now I don't want to say every member of the Stake campaign is a shitposter because that's obviously not true. There are a lot of good posters in this campaign. However, it does harbor more frauds than any other campaign by a longshot.

I have to wonder if such sloppy and careless management is a reflection of Stake itself as a business. Their campaign is bad for the forum as a whole. If you want me to give additional explanation as to why, I'd be more than happy to do so.
