Spammers/Advertisers

Post by foreverphysics »

So I was looking around...and I found that there is an alarming amount of people who just post new topics for advertising. There was something about village housing and financial aid, and then there was over a full page of topics about buying and playing various games. Is there a way for the mods/admins to stop all this? And I also find it odd that people would choose a Science Olympiad forum, of all places, to advertise.

As it has been stated before the best way to deal with the issue is to use the magical little report button in the upper right corner of posts, or pm the mods or admins and it will be taken care of.
