First, if you are working on a 30min+ post I highly suggest you block it out in a program like notepad first. It saves you from situations like this. Second, we don't allow redirection ads on this site. I suggest you perform a malware scan on your computer using software like Malwarebytes. If it comes up clean, please send a PM to citricsquid with any relevant information that can track down the errant ad (your physical location, the url of the page you were on, the url of the suspected ad, etc)
My favorite spammer is the one with the kitchen cabinets, because it's just so bizarre that they'd even bother.
two words: SEO rank
Spammers (the non-Minecraft ones) like to hit the forum due to our high SEO ranking on Google. People search for things like "kitchen cabinets" and the thread/post they made on MCF pops up, giving their site traffic once the spam link is clicked (same for all the football and movie spam bots, which aren't actually bots but that is a story for another time).
As for the free gift code guys, they've been here for years and the best thing you can do is to keep reporting them (and don't post in their threads)
Unless the .jar is from an official Mojang source we will not allow it to be linked here as it breaks Minecraft's ToU. (Plus most versions are already available in the newer versions of the launcher)
Epic! Apparently I have the most rep than anyone on the site (Including Notch, admins, owners) Is this correct? I currently have 58 rep, it will get higher, it always does, but can someone answer? (An admin or mod to answer would be great!)
you don't have the most. I have 58 myself, and I know of several users with almost 100 rep...

There are no plans at this time, though there may be one eventually
