Interesting sponsored links in posts on rival forum

L

I'm sure EliteTrader has seen this, but I thought I would mention it. A trading forum I go to once in awhile has added a new feature to the posts that will turn keywords into links to sponsers.
-------------------------------------

An example post:
"I'm looking for a forex broker. I trade options now but would like to try a forex mini-account."

Would end up like:
"I'm looking for a forex broker. I trade options now but would like to try a forex mini-account."

-------------------------------------
The red underlined words then would be links to a paid sponsor, and all replies would also be affected. I think they are testing this, but I find it very distracting.
 
There are certain types of advertisements that are downright intrusive and/or annoying, and I put that type of advertising in that category.

I hate that stuff myself which is why I refuse to do it here.

OMG! How Horrible!!!! It's clear that you should immediately remove this site from your favorites and never return! Such a post in the heavily trafficked classified forum, holy moly how will you ever recover?!?!

I dunno how some people manage to turn their computers on without electrocuting themselves to death. They must log in from the library or something.

Please tell me you're not serious. I think that's got to be the dumbest post I've seen in a long time.

Guess what? His paid ad is what allows you to be able to use this site for free. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

Hmm.....You could start a whole new forum dedicated to the dumbest post! lol


Baron haven't you read some of the posts on ET? Concepts and grasping don't always go hand and hand for some of the members.:D
