Banner ADS Getting Pornographic

[Scoolman]

I am seeing a lot of ads for dating sites lately. I am not logged into any accounts other than this one. While "dating" site ads are not necessarily phonographic, they are getting close.
You should really have a chat with Google Ads about the content they are displaying to your audience.

Yeah those are just spam and sex bots. They're getting more and more 'member' like too sometimes when they make suggestive comments related somewhat to the topic but closer analysis of their reply will make you realize that they're typing in crap lol

I am not talking about prolific posts by spam bots, also becoming a problem. I am speaking of the flashing banner ads that pop up on every single page.

 

[Tongue Flicker]

Haha! I don't seem to have those. Enabling pop-up blockers usually resolves that

 

[Scoolman]

Pop up blocker does not adress these. These are banner sds they have signed up for when they commercialised the forum

All of our banners are served by Google which is supposed to have strict rules about appropriate ads. If you see something that is questionable, please take a screenshot and email or PM the image to me so I can block that advertiser.
There should be ZERO pop-up ads coming from this site. If you get a pop-up on one of our pages it is likely something that was installed on your browser and not part of TF.
Spam posts are removed as soon as possible, given we only have a few mods helping with things like this. If you see something inappropriate you can report the post using the Report link under the post.
Thanks for your guys' help in making TF the great place it is. We couldn't possibly track down and remove all the shady stuff that people try to post, so we thank you for your help!

My original post had links to the three of the ads I am speaking of, they were removed from my post today. These links came directly from ads within the forum pages here at TF.

 

[Josh]

I removed the links because they had adsense code in them.
If you can post the company or URL or screenshot of the ad, that would be most helpful. Sorry for the confusion.

I wish that the ads on this site (a site about inverts) should relate to inverts. Maybe advertising online stores that sell inverts, not things that have nothing to do with anything on this site.

 

[Josh]

I would love for ALL the ads on this site to be about inverts as well. If you know any invert companies that would like to advertise, please send them my way! josh @ tarantulaforum .com

I'm lucky. I get "custom reptile cage" adds. It is sort of accurate because I am on bearded dragon fourms. I click on those just to support this site
