What's with all the "free advertising"?

Doesn't OH have posting rules about FREE ADVERTISING?  I have repeatedly seen the same person post advertising seminars for a group of doctors and now today another one advertising a workout facility.  I have reported several of these recently to the moderators to no avail-the same ones keep posting over and over.  To me it's not fair to those docs and businesses that PAY to advertise on this site.

Steph, I missed it.  Will you send me the link next time.  I'll personally email OH HDQ and let them know the concern.  As a leader I have an alternate way to contact them.  Last time I did, a post was of in seconds.

The other one is the chick that advertises "Free Seminars"  Stephanie F I believe.  I've reported her twice and I just saw it earlier today so either she's blocked me to where i can't see it or she removed her post.

It must have been removed because I can't see the posts either.

Thanks for bringing this up. For the most part, these are not regular active TMB members, either.
I'm likely not seeing them anymore as they get added to my block list about the 2nd time I see something commercial from them.

 I think OH must be getting (even more ) $$$-hungry of late ..  On my work computer (which is high speed) OH has made links out of certain key words in the posts, such as "diet", "RNY", etc.   If you click on that word, it pops up an ad for some OH advertiser relating to that word  ..  

  We're also getting random popups when just going to the OH site, now, sometimes.   I had one pop up earlier for some kind of regular candy!
