    after a bit iof help please. there is a lot of arabic (think it is) posts/writing.

    going onto the member and pressing ignore, but all the ads following this are in arabic, and I dont know which is click to progress the add or ignore it.

    is there a setting in google ads to ignore non English text?

    thanks Jim

    If you go to the very bottom of the main page you'll see Privacy and Cookie settings. Click on it and cancel all non essential ones. You should get no adverts at all then. I don't get any after doing it.

    I've got them all on ignore but they still flag up as new comments initially. It's getting worse. I'm not getting ads in any language (especially ones looking like a spider's crapped on the page) but hoped someone might be trying to block them at point of entry. Is anyone able?

    Nope

    EDIT that was the short answer @bladey. Problem is there are no admin or staff members who are active (or have been for a long time). @Rob , the forum owner, did show up after some hounding and it looked like new admins would be appointed by him in July, but alas none were. Despite further chases he’s not been back on so we are left at the mercy of any and all spammers who register.

    Thanks for the reply Boothman. I read there was a lack of admin here but thought it was being sorted. So..... :eek::mad:لا أمل إذن

    really need a way to block them as its becoming annoying and will drive away those of us who use this forum.

    Totally agree

    I used to log on most days but now once or twice a week, but
    If I see any of this foreign shite I just log off.
    What a pity this forum is being spoilt and nothing is being done to resolve the issue.

    Agree, but without either @Rob being more active himself or appointing new admins (who can delete these accounts), there’s nothing anyone else can do unfortunately :(
