Some posts are magnets for bots.
This is one of them.
I have locked it now because of bot-injected links to c*sino-sites
mB
So, let detective ACYDE do his job:
I have seen in the last time a person named "Guiders" in this forum. His posts are very confusing and have no meaning and no context to the topics. But when you mark his post, you see a hidden message with a link - linking to a casino website.
The text is written in white and you can't see it until you mark it.
Pretty clever!
I will report this person

Not clever, just stupid, don't give them traffic. Report and move on.
This forum could use a stricter anti-spamming policy. One solution that I've seen on other forums is to disable any links posted by new members, until they have reached a certain number of posts.

Its really not that big problem. I think i have deleted less than 15 users because of spam, this year. If our forum was really bogged down, then perhaps a new tool was needed, but spam is not that proliferate here, so just report, and let us do the dirty work :)
And thanks for your report!

Ads and hidden messages are all around us, but often we are too busy to notice and decipher them. We do what advertisers and content creators want, being part of a devilishly smart strategy to influence our buying behavior. This is called hidden advertising.

As I said 4 years ago, the mods are on to them.
So make sure to report the culprits.

You are right buddy! These ads everywhere already pissed me off. You can't even watch videos on youtube.
