A moderator can do nothing about the advertisements, since these come from the top. The people running gamespot are approached or approach by other various companies not necessarily in the gaming bizz and offer money for X amounts of placings on an X amount of space. This is called banner space and it's bought and rented through a per day and/or per week and/or per month basis.
Gamespot is one of the biggest sources of traffic with a bunch of kids, young adults and adults, usually male, so the college chicks you see in bikinis, which I think is REALLY BAD TASTE, are put into place here for you to see it, and I suspect it gets a lot of clicks making whoever is advertising that and other pieces of trash here a lot of money. It also makes a lot of money to the top people running GS.
Most gaming companies online accept paypal, so check if paypal is available in your country. You may need to pay through a credit card in order to pay through paypal with it, so maybe you can skip that step and just get a credit card.
