not really sure where to put this, so I'll dump it here: whomever is supplying the ads at the bottom of the forum pages (criteo.com/adchoices?) is throwing up one hell of a lot of malware ads at the moment. It's driving my security system nuts on every other page load for the last half hour or so.

(For those who may not know, all FT Moderators are strictly volunteers; no remuneration is given.)

Perhaps they need to pay someone a bit to babysit at night.

There are mods worldwide. Our own Information Desk has mods on the the west coast, the east coast, the east coast with a screwed-up sleep schedule ;), and Asia. I believe the Senior Moderator team (the team which is primarily responsible for moderating the unmoderated forums but who also have the ability to perform moderator actions across the entire board) have similarly global representation.

For those forums with a mostly U.S.-based moderator team, you can still report the post as normal, but if it's the middle of the night U.S. time, no one may be around to get the notification at that time. Perhaps the Senior Moderators should subscribe to email notifications from this thread and we can use this thread as a central reporting point for middle-of-the-night spam so they can be notified of it and assist in the quick clean-up? (I'm trying to think of solutions that can be implemented within the current forum software.)

New member raj77744 (or some similar username) is busy tonight posting phone numbers for what is apparently an Indian escort service.

He/she is now up to 40 threads, apparently all in Hotel Deals. Mysteriously, there are 44 posts, but I can't seem to find any of the posts that didn't start a thread. Maybe this means that someone is working on the problem.

ADDED: More than 50 threads now, and it's progressed from escorts to call girls. By number 75, it might be prostitutes and hookers at 100.
