Anyone else notice the saturation of these ads on our classifieds? Is it only on my pc?

I've seen a few lately, but nothing like a saturation.

It's not a hack as nothing on the forum has been compromised persay.
It's usually an automated bot that creates a profile, verifys the acct via email (protomail is common) then spams the classified forum with phishing ads with harmful links until the acct is blocked/banned.
Usually mods will nip it pretty fast, but mod/admin activity would seem to be inconsistent on this board. That or mod permissions don't include banning users. Not uncommon on older messageboards.

Sorry, let a few slip through the cracks. Yes, mods can ban and you are right, it's a bot trying to sell drugs online.
