HEY MODERATOR: DUMP THE AD POSTS IN THE FORUMS!

What has happened to ou wonderful MBWorld? All of these wheel, accessory & tuner ADVERTISEMENTS right INSIDE our forum discussions. I don't know about you, but I HATE seeing those ads here. Please Mr. Moderator, prohibit ads from businesses in our discussion forums. Make those interested in advertising something post in areas designated for commercial purposes. Thank you.

A while ago I tried to sabotage their annoying posts but got tired after a while.

I don't mind the OCCASIONAL advert;

What you could do to limit/moderate them is set the rule where if the advert is bumped before it falls off the front page, the advertiser gets a 30 day ban;

The second rule is that the advertiser is allowed one (1) advert on the front page regardless of the number of products hey are adverting.

This would allow the adverts without giving advertisers the ability to spray us with spam.

Some boards have separate vendor ad forums.

This forum has a separate vendor forum too .
Nevertheless, car model forums are bombarded with the advertisements . I think, vendors are finicky assuming regular forum members would not bother to visit their private forums therefore they are enormously submitting wheels threads in here . (Same goes for W212 Forums too ) I don't mind it ,I just skip over these

They should be limited to one general post rather than posting on every different forum at the same time. It is very annoying when the new post list shows a huge list of the same advert.
