Is it spam in your inbox or private message folder or just ads popping up as you browes the site.

Seem to recall a while back someone posted about spam. But it go way off topic and im not sure the spam ever got addressed, or redressed??

I think the membership gets rid of the ads and stuff. Pretty sure it did for me. 20 bucks for a year and you get a sticker and lanyard and no spam. Bigger PM storage too. You guys should join the club.

I ran into a similar issue recently, from what I can tell it's not this site that's the problem. It in my case was a bad cookie picked up from another compromised website and would jump me to spam sites. Clearing the cookies on my browser fixed this problem for me until I started looking at other websites and it would start again..... And no I'm not going on any sketchy websites.

If you are logged in to Google they track everything you do then sell that data to advertisers. You can stop that by changing your personal settings in Google. It won't stop everything but may reduce it depending upon where it is coming from. I also use SpamSieve with my email. With it you can train it to recognize good and bad emails.
