Advertisers Galore?

I've been noticing that people are actually come to advertise stuff on here. Usually, when you click on a topic with a link that says something OTHER than a level, it'll contain info about cheap deals and a link to a website.

The best thing to do is to report this to Terry by clicking the, "Report to Moderator" button, and putting the comment simply as, "This message is spam." I've done this many times, and Terry gets rid of each advertiser, and the forum is all good.

I would like help on this though - if you see a suspicious topic, check it out, and if it's spam, report it.

Together, we can keep distractionware distracting with levels, not deals on stuff no one wants. :viridian:

Yeah, it's spambots sweeping the interwebs, looking for forums they then register to to advertise.
It's not too drastic right now, I haven't seen an ad thread pop up too often; however, maybe integrating reCAPTCHA with the forum software would help completely holding these guys off.

The forum does have reCAPTCHA.

No - Toribash is, as you said, an online game. The people I'm talking about are advertising items - clothes, food, etc...
