I frequently visit this site as a member an a former Royal and enjoy every moment of it and I sure feel insulted when a guest advertise on this site. There should be a way of stopping this sort post from happening.

Gents, control of a forum is a double-edged sword. We can restrict it to registered members only, but then random visits by Royal Canadians who don't want the hassle of registering never get noticed, and we lose that contact. Allowing non-registered posters comes at a price, and that is the occasional spam. The simple answer is ignore them, and I delete them when I find them.
Keep in mind the Association doesn't run this site, Brian Watters did, and now I do because I took over all web related duties when Cpl Watters left RHQ for his new trade.
If I really wanted to control the board, I would make it registered members only, and the registration would require your Association membership number.
For now, I prefer a more relaxed approach, we just have to accept the risks that includes.
