Unfriending a mod would simply take them off your friend list but it wouldn't prevent them from seeing anything. The same way with blocking (you can't block mods). As Jake said, mods are supposed to see everything. So if mods haven't seen them, it's because we haven't been looking. In fairness, when most of us mods log in, we're either following topics we've previously posted in or read or we're scanning the new posts search feature for obvious spam. Although we should be reading the entire page of topics, many times we get sidetracked on individual topics (some have a lot of pages) and simply run out of time and thus don't scan the entire page of new posts/topics.

This looks like a different kind of advertising that is new. In the past, HNI had ads on the right side of the webpages or banners at the top. Any individual topics like these were started by advertisers who had paid to advertise as members and did so in separate forums restricted to their products.

Hopefully all of this helps some.
