    I Do Not Want Penny Stocks

    What's the deal with the advertisers spamming the forum? Does it happen a lot, or am I just too much of a forum noob?

    Ah ok. Sorry for the broadcast, I'm new to forums. Will keep that in mind for the future.

    I am trying to get those posts off as soon as I can. It seems like for every 50 I remove, 30 sprout up and take their places. In addition to the reporting spam icon, if you wouldn't mind also sending me a PM with a link to the offending post. For some reason, I am not getting the spam reports. The administrator is working on it, but in the meantime, if you could PM me with them, I will get them taken off ASAP (I usually come to the forum about 3 days a week, so please be patient with me!) I will also start a thread with this request.

    I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

    Why not add a captcha before making threads? This should cut down on the automated spam

    Yes. I agree.

    Hey mods,
    Here is a post on how to cut down on vBulletin spam: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...istration-Bots.

    It looks like you are on a newer version of vBulletin, so many of these options are available.
