WTF? How can I turn this off?

Can we double underline random words or our entire posts in a way that would make these useless. If no one ever clicks on them because they are hidden in our posts, what use would …

"Buy a Personal Computer at Dell." Everyone stop and think about that for a second. Voch

Maybe MacNN will block the Dell ones and leave the others in place. I hope not.

OMFG. : I fscking hate this kind of advertising. Who the hell decided to put that on these boards? And when are you turing it off? It's fscking annoying. What's next? Pop-ups? T…

OK, I'm trying to block IntelliTXT according to what I've found with google. Using PithHelmet in Safari I blocked *intellitxt.com* http://text.burstnet.com/*.js Unfortunately tha…

I'm not seeing this green text, but it looks like the linked script is at http://macnn.us.intellitxt.com/intel....asp?ipid=3078, so there is no *.js.

Telling PithHelmet to block *intellitxt* doesn't do the trick either.

they're in the options for users too!!!

This is way too annoying. This is no good at all.

Worst. Advertising scheme. Ever. I'm so sad to see this ******** come to the MacNN forums. At least before I only saw it on sites that I didn't really care about. I downloaded Saf…

I've reported this SPAM.

I hope this was a mistake...

Somebody email me when it's gone. MacNN was my top bookmark since '99. No macnn bookmark anymore. Needed an excuse to break this habit anyway.

Im reporting every single one I see as spam and I think every user should do the same.

Hate it. Have you guys at macnn completely lost it? The benefit of a forum is that you receive trusted information from your peers. Adding spam links into posts is a moronic thing…

Heh:

from now on every post I make anything that gets spam in it im changing with a dot. Example ipod to i.pod, apple to a.pple. I am also going to send nasty emails to every advertise…

macnn.us.intellitxt.com That's the source of the BS. If you block that URL (wildcards don't seem to work) then you're good to go. IE users can simply add it to the 'hosts' file…

Rest assured that we forum admins*/mods had no say in this, and consider it at least as offensive as you do. I will fight this tooth and nail. Inline advertising is something only …
