Bogus User “Advertisement” - PLEASE BLOCK!!

[Joe Zuffoletto]

This bot always posts the first reply to a new thread with a disguised link to Amazon. Why has it not been blocked???

It's a deliberate feature of this forum to generate some revenue. I agree it's pretty misleading and inhospitable, especially for first-time users of this forum. I'd rather they'd just put some add banners here and there if revenue is needed for the upkeep of this forum.

While I agree, the posts do say, loud & clear at the top ADVERTISEMENT

It's supposed to be a money maker for Admin. If you click the link it takes you to Amazon, and if you buy something Admin makes money. Probably only one of many reasons this forum has never flourished.
