Censoring the ads?
Ok, I know, new owners and whatnot means plenty more ads and all of that... but this one is just going too far. Some of them are relevant, some are out there, but none of them have made noises until this one:
https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1218252506
I just find this extraordinarily annoying since it has NOTHING to do with the forum, RX-7's, rotaries, or anything, AND IT MAKES ******* NOISES!!! I normally dont complain about stuff on here cause for the most part I see how the additional ads and changes and stuff could be rationalized... but this one specific ad (and anything else that makes noise without me taking any action to provoke it) is over the top. Please, is it possible to block these sort of blatant "CLICK ME CLICK ME OR I'LL ANNOY THE **** OUTTA YOU" type of banners?
Thanks [/rant]

The spam that comes in as actual posts bothers me too. Example from the EMS forum:
I moderated this website for several years, and I don't remember anything like this prior to the website sale.

Interesting that as a moderator of the EMS forums, I didn't receive a single report notifying me of this spam.

Icemark deleted that particular thread, so he may have caught it while browsing. I have reported at least 2 of these in the last month or so.
I guess you didn't catch the #8 post here either?

Also for IE users if you install the http://www.ie7pro.com/ plug-in the ads all but disappear.
I haven't made contract with the guys at IB yet about the issue, still trying to get the some properties for the ads.
I know where they are going thanks to Biz, but not exactly where they originate.

Just be glad it's not the same crap I was seeing on my forum. Sometimes the posts would include pages of embedded images and videos. Wonderful stuff...

I don't really care about what website it takes you to... what I need are the properties of the ad. FWIW I still have never seen the ad.
When you see it right click on it and grab the address/url name please.
Thanks.
