Most of you receive advertisements in your Private Message box. I am aware of this problem, but I cannot do much about it, I don't recommend you bothering, Jargs, when you receive one of these advertisements. You can solve your own problem by following this small guide:

How you can prevent this for yourself, and recommending this to others.

1. Go to your UserCP (http://www.ac-web.org/forums/usercp.php)
2. Under "Settings & Options", there is an option to select, Edit Options (http://www.ac-web.org/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions).
3. Now scroll down until you see "Messaging & Notification", under that, there will be a check box next to: "Enable Private Messaging"; it should be currently checked, that means it is enabled, uncheckmark it to disable it.

4. There are a lot of other options. As in, Invisible Mode, Enable Visitor Messaging, and more.


Thanks,

You can, I don't really mind, but only thing I can do is give the person an infraction.

Can we please stay on topic with comments that are related to this thread, thanks. Your appreciation for me getting a position that has sufficient access is tolerated by me, showing your gratitude in public is making people have the choice of not staying on topic. ;)

My apologies. ;)

On topic: I have never received adverts through private messages. Actually I don't really notice advert spam very much... Maybe those spammers just dislike some people. o_O

Well, there has been a few reported threads about people advertising servers; I'm just telling people what they can do to stop it.

No one does. Noble suffers from the delusion that people don't actually hate him, when in all actuality all of AC Web despises him.

Thank you to the OP for the useful tip.

Slightly off-topic:

What's the SOP for dealing with stalkers? Stalkers meaning people who post repetitively unsavoury comments after every post you make.
