This place is a joke.
Vendor Spam
I know this has been answered before, but who can be contacted at IB who has authority to make a change? It's not allowed or tolerated on other forums that I'm a member of either.
I'm not the only who finds it disruptive:

As Bob is the Administrator of MBWorld, he's also in contact with Internet Brands. Internet Brands also has links in the footer for contacts.
Each website is different - different community, different management and different ownership. Please keep in mind that, despite MBWorld is free to access and use by the members, it is not free to operate and so Ads & Vendors help pay bills and support their people.

Even on a Sunday, the spam is relentless. I understand expenses, but members also contribute arguably more [content] to this website. There are also vendors here who never spam. It's only 5 or so vendors that trash this website, daily. I can tell you, I will never do business with them, and I would guess their daily reposting really isn't doing much good for their business.

Vendors support the community and need to get some exposure to help generate sales for their business, their people, etc. The simple idea of having it all confined to one area isn't exactly the obvious solution for the same reasons it doesn't happen on other major platforms that also are free to use but rely on revenue to operate.
You can voice your concern with Bob, as I linked above, who works with Internet Brands and can review the guidelines and policies to see if there can be adjustments to help the community.

I understand your concern. There is no disagreement that members contribute content. The same is true for many platforms that also use advertisements to sustain the platform so that members have a place.

Trying to find a relevant thread is like sifting through trash to find a lost ring.

I work on the technical side so I'm not the person you want. Just wanted to answer your question as to who and how you can contact to provide your feedback. And a little bit of my own thought came out. That said, being involved as I have, I do know this can be a bigger problem for some sites than others. It depends on the activity of the section (sections with lower activity can result in higher vendor ratios), it depends on the time of year (pre-Holidays can led to that same ratio concern) and the current world events have also been a factor.
