This has also happened to me, and I’m about to stop using the site because of it. Something like this is absolutely unacceptable. It renders the site unusable and screams amateur hour. There are so many other ways to make money with a website, especially one with CS’s traffic. It took me 5 minutes to type this one response without a redirect.
Seriously, the only websites that have these types of advertisements are **** sites and financial scams. It is absolutely ridiculous that it is allowed here when the community just recently donated more than enough for hosting services.
I appreciate the disdain for spam, but please note that this is not something we permit in any way much less would do intentionally.
The community was very generous in keeping the site alive, but unfortunately ad free is not an option and spammers are regularly out to slip something in against our will.
