edit: oops.. Looks like this is already an issue:
https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/world-cup-promo-pop-up-ad.109519/
If you are browsing the forum and your browser suddenly jumps to a web page claiming you won an iphone or something, it is a scam.
It occurs when an advertiser pays to provide ad/content/link and includes something called a forced redirect via java or other scripting. It can also occur if the forum is exploited.
Admins ‘might’ not initially see this issue since they might not hit see this from their own ip addresses. Leave a vote(non public, can be changed) if you are browsing Mustang6G and your browser gets forced to a new page like an old school pop up.
Hopefully this is rare.
