Maybe an angry email to the advertiser letting them know how their entirely untargeted spam is infuriating and enough to put us off ever using their agency might help? 

Then you could risk the ClickBait follow ups .... I wouldn't touch the add for fear of that.

I have a pop up blocker on my browser but it makes absolutely no difference.  It is a very fierce blocker set up by a work client who is security paranoid

 

Not the same thing.

I have just checked with work and they are investigating as the pop up blocker should be removing it

It's a constant battle. 🙂

I have reported it to Cruise Critic admin, is it only affecting posters in the UK ?

Sorry if my question was deemed inappropriate, it was not intended as a criticism ...

 

However .... they have started again. Same people, same problem.

@MBP&O2/O

 

Thank you for your new thread.

 

Yes, your question on the closed thread was not a criticism. However, your question was regarding board management and could only be answered by board management aka Administrators. That is why the thread was closed and I posted the friendly FYI to you. Now your new thread has been merged into the old thread.

 

Please remember most of the non-paid volunteer Hosts work the boards from home when their real life permits. Hosts have no contact with the IT department that manages and maintains the technology systems and services.

 

From the Guidelines:

 

"Our Community Hosts oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to move and delete posts & threads, and perform other simple actions."

 

Most paid Administrators that do have contact with IT and have other abilities such as issuing Guidelines Reminders, work regular weekday business hours and have vacation/sick time as well as USA National Holidays since the office is in New Jersey. 

 

Again, from the Guidelines:

 

"The Community Manager has overall control of everything that happens within the Community. The Community Manager oversees how the board is styled, what forums to create and how to organize them, is responsible for our Rules of Participation, what information to require from members and who to appoint as Community Hosts. You may contact the Community Manager at: community@cruisecritic.com"

 

Please contact LauraS, Senior Manager Community, at community@cruisecritic.com as I told you before in the friendly FYI.
