Containing it in the Press board might have not been the best use of words. But the fact is that there is spam in that board. To fight that spam, the admins could make some drastic changes like disabling signatures. If that was to be done, the virus would just spread elsewhere and infect other parts of the forum and then we would have to have a discussion on how to fight the spammers in boards X and Y.

I am sorry, but I think that certain boards are beyond saving. At least with all the freedoms we are given here. Choosing to be a spamming or scamming member is allowed, even though spamming is against the rules. What constitutes spam remains debatable. It seems that the Press board isn't something the admins find alarming unfortunately.
