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.
Alright, I hope you get them, this is rediculous.

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.
