Just as a side note, I recently changed the way SA runs for me. It runs sitewide for all users except me, and I run it locally as myself. That is beside the point but I want to thank others for suggestions.
I run rules_du_jour every night and get SARE rules. Despite that, I receive a lot of "get a job stealing money by means of interbank transactions" types of ads. Are there some rulesets or some such which I could be missing?
