Hi Maciej,

assuming that this is a legit question and just not a very inventive way of spamming the forum, certain sites have been blacklisted by the Head Moderator so that when they pop up in posts all you see are a bunch of asterisks (*****) rendering the link dead. I don't know how that is done, but you can probably find the info on the web.

Aside from that, I and the other mods just have to keep checking the forums and manually remove the spam posts as they appear. Tedious but necessary.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
