Inappropriate Ads

Hey, I had an inappropriate (in my opinion) google-ad show up. I was searching forums for "chat room" and an ad for Horny Swinger Sex Chat came up. The site was SwingerNet.com . Aside from the fact that I thought it was an ad for a sex-swing (which would at least be interesting), it really goes a bit beyond PG-13. Here's the URL: http://www.swappernet.com/sn/Freesignup.aspx?afl=6g_ssc24&gclid=CIb94-uk25gCFQrAGgodwHJ-dw

Yeah, it ruins it for the ugly people looking at the naughty stuff... and elsewhere on cable there is a storm about to brew on evolution on BBC, coverage on vegetarianism on Animal Planet, and good old wrestling...take your pick

Hahaha. There should be a "breaking forums news" topic that tells of the flames, wars, truces and such on the forums.

Your armor seems to be singed again. I'll just dust off the banhammer and get it ready again. *sigh*

It is sharper than any shark's tooth, and heavier than 9 elephants. My trigger finger has poison ivy on it that no calamine lotion can touch. Users! Beware and do not spam.

That's right, you better run!

I do not fancy a burger'n fries. Do you fancy a whoopin'?
Feb 15, 2009. 8:09 PMLithium Rain says:
A whoopin' like none you've ever seen.
Feb 16, 2009. 7:29 AMLithium Rain says:
Awesome. It's been almost 20 minutes since I last gave an overconfident teenage male a whoopin'.

>Looks around<

Where is he?
Feb 17, 2009. 6:22 AMKentsOkay says:
A whoopin'? Where does when get whoopin'?
Feb 17, 2009. 8:40 AMLithium Rain says:
Where does one get a whoopin', you ask? Why, right here!
Feb 17, 2009. 1:03 PMKentsOkay says:
OO OO, I'm so scared.... Heck I've got half a foot and at least 15 pounds on you... Your only chance would be if I took pity on you and let you whoop me....
Feb 17, 2009. 1:35 PMLithium Rain says:
Pfft. Brains conquer brawn. It's all in how you use what you've got. And how would you know what you have on me?
Feb 17, 2009. 1:41 PMKentsOkay says:
Ooo! You gonna brain me? I'm psychic darlin'

Feb 17, 2009. 3:48 PMLithium Rain says:
So sorry to disappoint, that was merely a cardboard cutout of me. Pardon me while I defeat you.

I'm just going with the herd but part of the argument might be bull.
Feb 15, 2009. 1:49 PMGoodhart says:
I thought he meant Bull Durham...
Feb 15, 2009. 9:34 PMGoodhart says:


Hmm?
Feb 14, 2009. 9:24 PMcaitlinsdad says:
Bull from Night Court, that was when TV was good.
Feb 14, 2009. 10:10 AMThe Jamalam says:
exactly
Feb 14, 2009. 10:16 AMKentsOkay says:
I mean there is such a wider variety of less uglyness available...
Feb 14, 2009. 10:18 AMThe Jamalam says:
lol
Feb 14, 2009. 7:40 AMLabot2001 says:
Try posting this in the bugs forum, perhaps? Maybe that's where Eric meant stuff like this to go...

And, this isn't the first time this has happened, although I've never seen any dirty ads, I've heard of others who have.
Feb 13, 2009. 10:15 PMkelseymh says:
A few months ago, Eric posted a Forum topic where you could provide feedback on such issues. Yeah, I know that's too vague to be useful, but it's the best I've got.
Feb 13, 2009. 10:28 PMkelseymh says:
Right. I tried scrolling through "all" of Eric's forum topics, sorted by "recent," and gave up when I got to ones before I joined I'bles. Sigh....
Feb 13, 2009. 10:40 PMcaitlinsdad says:
Man, that Skunkbait geezer is losing it. He created the topic himself...

Feb 14, 2009. 10:09 AMKentsOkay says:
Haha!
Feb 13, 2009. 10:49 PMkelseymh says:
Augh! Seriously, Eric had posted a topic months ago, including a mechanism where you could capture which server had generated the inappropriate ad and send it off to Staff, and now I can't find it :-(
Feb 14, 2009. 12:06 PMLithium Rain says:
I think it was an instructable.
Feb 14, 2009. 4:06 AMgmjhowe says:
It was in response to my topic. HERE

His comment further down explains things.
Including this Link to pick out which ad suppliers are responsible.

Feb 14, 2009. 5:18 AMKiteman says:
I thought that was fixed? The worst I've seen for a long time are those slightly creepy 3d-avatars-in-their-underwear adverts.
Feb 14, 2009. 10:08 AMKentsOkay says:
You think they are creepy too?
Feb 14, 2009. 10:24 AMKiteman says:
Yeh, I mean, they're probably supposed to be sexy, but I look and it's eww! They're about 12 years old!
Feb 14, 2009. 11:00 AMKentsOkay says:
Indeed, it seems targeted for the pre-teen - early teen "my bff jill" crowd
Feb 14, 2009. 11:28 AMKiteman says:
Even so - if they were photos, I could get arrested for looking at them!
Feb 14, 2009. 5:44 PMKentsOkay says:
I don't think I could...
Feb 15, 2009. 2:30 AMKiteman says:
It's the badly-written paedophilia laws over here - an art gallery owner was prosecuted for displaying a photograph of a young nude, even though it was taken decades ago and had been accepted as "proper art" before the laws were enacted. The traditional "baby's first bath" photo can get a parent a visit from social services.

There are also extra laws for teachers in the UK. For instance, the legal age of consent is 16, but having relations with anybody under 18, even if they do not go to a school you teach in, will cost you your career.
Feb 15, 2009. 8:32 AMKentsOkay says:
What happened to your face?
Feb 17, 2009. 4:11 PMGoodhart says:
It didn't work on mine.....so I put it back...
Feb 14, 2009. 12:21 PMWeissensteinburg says:
I forget which firefox add on it is, but one of them lets you know what website its coming from. Maybe adblock? Anyways, I remember someone from ibles saying that the web address is what helps them most.
Feb 13, 2009. 9:49 PMGoodhart says:
That's not a good sign.....are they going to start to stalk you know?
Feb 14, 2009. 8:04 AMGoodhart says:
Yeah, depending on how well they track things...that can be very bad. Where I work, a third party records all of that stuff, and that would have raised all kinds of flags....kind of scares me about visiting here from work anymore.
