I've made this thread so that you know I am willing to block ads from appearing on the site if they are indeed inappropriate. You'll need to give me more than just a description of what the ad is, as that won't help me. What I need is the ad's actual link.
Here's Google's recommended steps (click to show) I realize it's not that possible to use those steps on a flash ad (not sure why they don't give any methods for those), so you may actually have to click the ad and then give me the URL it takes you to. So basically, get me that URL and give me a reason why it should be blocked. Update (10/16/09): Google added in category filtering now so I've filtered out the following categories (meaning they're blocked): Cosmetic Procedures & Body Modification Datin Drugs & Supplements Sexual & Reproductive Health Sexually Suggestive -------------------- Want a rotating avatar like mine?

Well i don't really think Google shows bad adds because there "Proffesinal" But i really don't trust those new RPG's ad's
It should say "Play now My Lord" Or whatev. I think it was called "Evony". Really i wonder why GPX needs ads DX if i owned GPX i would just Kick those ad's straight to the incinerator and replace it with just the news DX |

Please don't post here unless you're reporting a specific ad and can provide me with the link like I requested. There are some ads that people consider inappropriate, such as the sperm donation ones for "eggs". I bet you would.

The "Free Online Pokemon MMORPG!" ad should go. The software it links to uses Zango which is at best adware and uses some tactics often associated with spyware. (To the point that the FTC had several charges against them a while ago.)

Unsure if this in inappropriate or not, but I was surprised when these came up-
http://www.fertility-miracles.com/Parents/....html&nm=10 http://www.familycreations.net&nm=6 Both websites popped up on a Google text ad, they're both egg donators. I don't think that those ads would be appropriate on a website that little kids might visit... --------------------  |

Every now and then, I'll get a message from NoScript regarding the ad on the page:
"NoScript filtered a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attempt from [http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com]." I looked it up on Wikipedia to see if it was actually a threat, and it is quite possible that it is: "Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications which allow code injection by malicious web users into the web pages viewed by other users. Examples of such code include client-side scripts. An exploited cross-site scripting vulnerability can be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy. Vulnerabilities of this kind have been exploited to craft powerful phishing attacks and browser exploits. Cross-site scripting carried out on websites were roughly 80% of all documented security vulnerabilities as of 2007.[1] Often during an attack "everything looks fine" to the end-user[2] who may be subject to unauthorized access, theft of sensitive data, and financial loss." Unfortunately, when NoScript filters this, I can't get the URL of the ad to let you know which URL to block, but at least now you are aware of the issue. =/ --------------------  Adoptables meet Steampunk in the World of Umbria.

Another egg donor ad: http://www.integramedfertility.com/inmdweb...CFRJM5QodOT79_Q
That one shows up as a banner. I've noticed that it and another flash ad (would try to find it, but you know...) seem to take a little bit to load; would that be a good reason to block, or should we just ignore those? --------------------      Quizzes (click to show) |
