all the advertising

RSLForums is now overrun by advertising posts.

something needs to be done.

That is all.

What you see here over the last week is just a tiny sample of what actually gets posted and I have to delete..
I have been dealing with many a day for several months.

It is becoming my full time job on this forum.

Deuce, thanks for ruining it for those of us who are interested in both mortgages and naked girls. If they could only come up with one website that catered to both of those needs...

I think it is funny though that they would come onto a forum like this to post that stuff.

They're idiots.

They have to spend the time to get signed up for the forums, time to sign in and and then spend the time to type their posts and then those posts get deleted quite quickly.

Now that's a great business plan.

I think they use bots. Because if this is individuals taking all that time for each post, then it is not cost effective.

Use of email confirmation a 24 hour rule from sign up to first post might stop the bots.

Yes they are using bots...

Now if I could only get a single button to click that will delete the thread and then permanently ban the user. as it stands now I spend about a minute, sometimes more if the forum is slow, per thread/user.

That crap adds up...

Not my fault this time - I haven't responded to any of the bots since this topic was last brought up a month or so ago.

Thanks for your efforts Deuce. Wish pathetic companies wouldn't stoop to such levels to try and annoy people to get their attention.

I'm working on a 24 hour delay. It's not just a point and click option, but it's coming.

I also just added a list of almost 600 domains that are not permitted to sign up here. We'll see how that helps.

Thanks Neil much appreciated
