So why can't I, and possibly other mods see these?
OT are you able to "report" these posts like you do with other spam posts? I'll send this to admin so they can look at it... -Jake |

No, mods should be able to see anything posted on the forum. But I'm not seeing those types of posts or ads or whatever they
-Jake |
They have been a major pain all sign by the same @

I assumed it was just another sneaky way for the site to make money. The ads look like posts so you click on them. Money is made by number of clicks an ad gets. I get one of those fake posts/ads on every sub-forum page I visit on hunting.net, always second from the top.

I have it and its not just under the black powder threads. I have no way that I can see to delete it either. Hopefully an admin will get it taken care of

I'm thinking admin knows about them already ($$$)
What's incredibly frustrating is that I spend my time (hours each month and it used to be allot more) deleting spam posts and profiles. So much time that we've had good moderators step down in part due to the time commitment that it takes. Then there's this going on. -Jake |
They are all clearly identified as sponsored posts, i.e. ads, i.e. the things that keep this site free and up and running :)

Way to many Google ads on the sides and always one on the top too. I'm no expert, but can they unfriend mods so that they can't see posts?
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. |
