The forum owners have found that the trending page increases engagement so it's here to stay. Turning it off was supposed to be a user option that didn't get implemented before the rollout. That's in the works.

I have deleted a couple hundred of the threads and banned the people that posted them and other mods have done the same. I would call that a corrective action. Not sure what else we can do since they aren't posting links. The site owners are working on a tech fix for it, but that isn't instantaneous. Those of us deleting the threads aren't paid and have other things to do than sit around and ban spammers all day.
These guys will eventually get tired of spamming this forum since their posts only stay up a few hours at the most and are gone in the minute if one of us is watching.
