Advertisers

[JDog]

What do you mean advertising, Like advertising it when your a member, then never come back here? is that what you mean, because I didn't do that, I come here all the time.

[MasterKeyX]

no, like a random user name that advertises for a product and then never comes back again.

[JDog]

Yeah, that makes me mad, can't they just email him or something?

[Gamefreak]

You would think.

[JDog]

I mean, wouldn't be easier if they just emailed him, and not have to worry about creating an account, if they created an account, cant they just come to stay and do things, and advertise there forum at the same time.  

[Gamefreak]

They don't want to go through all that extra effort.

[MagmarFire]

and those stupid advertisors have to hinder that. >:(

Hey, I wasn't taking Adventage of him, I just wanted people to know about it.

I'm not talking about you. I was talking about businessmen who advertise products on the forum to help their company make money. That's taking advantage of the site.

[JDog]

I kinda figured that out a will ok, but whatever.

[MagmarFire]

Okay, I'm glad you understand.

Anyhoo, we should hope Jack comes up with something to prevent this any further.

[JDog]

We should hope he comes back soon, this place is going so wrong scince that whole Emerald Link2.0 thing.

Visual confirmation is a good way to keep these advertizers out, assuming they are bots.

Unfortunately there's very little I can do to get rid of the advertisements. The "people" that post the ads are not actually people, they're computer programs that do the posting. What I have done to combat this so far is to appoint a new semi-cohort (Whocares) who should be automatically deleting these threads when they appear. If you see an ad thread, just ignore it, and it will be gone shortly.

Unfortunately why I can't do anything institutional about the problem is that all the anti-spam stuff is in the new version of this forum software, which is technically a different product, and I'd have to start a brand new forum and lose all old posts to utilize those features. So, I think we're just stuck playing defense in the meantime. I will still look for solutions, and I'm sure I'll come upon one soon.
