There are two spammy threads regarding 'Baba Ji' right now in the blog section which I have reported, but they seem to have gone ignored. There also seems to be a big trend of people starting a blog post and simply linking to a blogspot website rather than actually writing a blog for the site itself. I have seen a couple of these from members who don't even have a post on the site. Surely this isn't going to bring any further views to the site when the original intention of the blog section as far as I remember was to bring extra traffic in. It is odd that the blog section seems immune to moderation.

I'm getting PaddyPower as well, and AdBlock isn't working on it.

Already a thread about it in the staff room. For whatever reason we can ban a spammer or a poster who has spammed but when they are bad, it doesn't delete the blog posts which is highly annoying!

I use uBlock Origin instead and I still had that ad too - I just right clicked it, clicked on "block element" and then selected the ad and pressed ok and it went. I think you can do a similar thing with AdBlock.

Well that's bloody odd.

That's what I was doing with AdBlock but the screen wasn't refreshing after I had set it and it kept coming back.
