Mod Query : Shopping Spam
 

Is there any chance that certain forum members could be banned for trying to use the forum as a market place rather than a horror forum. I know that this is probably the most petty, trivial suggestion/question but if I wanted to buy a phone or a playstation or whatever, I would go to a shop/ ebay, rather than pester people, with 3 adverts on different threads.

I'm sure he has to make a living, but preferably where someone is going to buy something would be a better place.

It's called captcha, Horror:

Google and yahoo use them, and no doubt there is an easy plugin for vBulletin somewhere for one (I will hunt it down for you if you want), it prevents automated creation of accounts, whihc could cut down on this kind of crap.

That is, of course, if you care enough to do anything...

they usually get shit-canned pretty fast when they are here solely for profit - especially when its completely unrelated to the forum
