leveragefx aka fx_master, from the currency hotzone meter or whatever the hell it's called are posting gay porn on threads now in order to arouse their followers, apparently.
Just saying, not really something I planned on seeing at ET when I logged in.
Did you use the complaint button below the message post you saw???
I prefer that route (works extremely well) along with sending the moderator a direct pm with a link to the offensive message post.
ET really needs to post its TOU statement at the very top as the very first thread along with including it as a check box (agreement) in the forum registration process.
A few anti-spam organizations highly recommend the above because it scares away most spammers and problematic posters.
Without it...more work for the moderators, ET management and more members feeling like ET has lost its true purpose.
Why???
Most of these individuals do not know they shouldn't post like that and assume that because they did it elsewhere...
It's ok here too.
Also, the current thread called "Welcome to ET, a little reminder" with a link to the
conduct rules is
extremely inadequate...

First, the titled above needs to be changed to something that grabs the attention of members such as...
Read Our Conduct Rules (the do not...)
Secondly, that message post thread should have the actual TOU and Conduct Rules statement within it (copied and pasted) and not as a link to click on to go elsewhere at the forum to read the information.
Odds are very low that someone will actually click on that link to learn the do's and dont's at ET.
The anti-spam message and abusive posting habits should be in bold letters to ensure its seen.
As I said before, it should also be part of a check box (agreement) aspect of the registration process along with an email of the statement being auto-sent to every new member that registers.
