The number of advertiser is too damn high

[Teije]

Just saying, everyday the whole forum is spammed with advertisers.... Isn't there a way too block this, because it gets really annoying....
Advertisers: Uggs, Louis vuitton, japanese... things, russian... things, viagra etc....

I think banning the ip of the advertising users would work

Won't work I think - probably different IPs doing it.

It wont remove all of them, but it will remove some, think of them like hackers, we do report them even though they will never go away

Hmm, yeah, but a website is different, because there is easier proxies for it. And I don't think they won't be using that.

Ikr, so many darn advertisers

Good perspective
EDIT : What about a post limit to create a thread (like 10 posts to create a thread)

C4 used to be the one to flush the bots out, but don't know if anyone does anymore since Chad and Sub are busy.

Hi everyone, We know about this problem and chad is talking with the developers to find a fix. This fix will probably be a human tester called a captcha which looks like this.

This will stop spam bots from getting on the server But its still going to be discussed so this might not get added.

Untill we do get a solution all you have to do is follow these steps when you see spam/advertisments.

1. Click the report button it looks like this.

2. Then wright in the box advertisment or whatever it is and click report post like this.

Then it will get dealt with.

You can also contact a mod to get it deleated straight away. Thanks

p.s soz for bad image quality.

You use Internet Explorer...
LIES! IT ARE ALL LIES! (jk)
And yes, that works as well - Also the captcha will be very useful.
