Personally, I disagree. I've spent over a year grading GFX for both SBA and ~6 months for the VHL. Both sites use auto-6 now. When I started on SBA, it was not auto. In a few rare cases, I've seen lower quality sigs than I might have before we switched to auto grades. In general those sigs fell into one of 2 main categories:
1. The person was new to sig making, and was willing to put out a product that they might have spent more time on otherwise.
2. The person was (self-admittedly) pressed for time that week, and just needed to get the PT done.
Most of the sigs I see are still high quality sigs, because people take pride in their work.
The other reason that I think that both of these sites continued to see high quality sigs is that people are only required to do one per week. If I had to do more than that, I would be far more inclined to turn out lower quality stuff just so that I could meet my "quota."
