I can't provide the link, because I am not entirely sure which it came from because I was mass clicking, but one gave me a nasty virus that completely destroyed my anti-virus program (AVG) and gods only know what else since I can't access anything but the internet. I would appreciate this being looked into. If you don't allow to us to block ads at the price of our adoptables taking forever to level up, then you should be able to guarantee that our computers won't be attacked by viruses from them. This is the only site I use that I allow ads on so I KNOW it was from here.

Hi. I'm not sure if you would consider that inappropriate, but I've been getting ads for the Scientology Church.
It says: "Scientology today. Why is it the world's fastest-growing religion? Find out for yourself. SCIENTOLOGY TODAY." I don't know if you deem it acceptable, but it's getting really uncomfortable for me to open tabs and see a dozen of ads telling me to convert. It redirects to http://www.scientology.org/?gclid=CNrGs6eSsaICFdGX2AodyH8YSw -------------------- Current party   |

These ads show some cleavage. I'm not sure whether or not that it's alright for small children:

Their ads make me want to go into an epileptic seizure. The flashing lightning in the background is a health hazard to those who suffer from epilepsy and has a potential in triggering it in people who aren't aware that they might suffer from epilepsy. Image of the specific Ad:

I have a couple more reports:

Seriously, I'm no prude, but those Rappelz ads are annoying and objectifying.

This ad's link has access to a lot of racy material definitely not suitable for younger kids on this site. There's also this "Woome" dating site ad I saw earlier today, but I loaded a new page over it and I haven't seen it since so I can't get an exact URL now. If I find it again I'll post it. --------------------  |

This ad isn't necessarily objectionable but it's HUGE and impedes clicking. Here's a screen shot: http://yfrog.com/6bahhhyj -------------------- |

it's not a religion, it's a cult, and a dangerous one at that. having links to the scientology page is equal to having links to the KKK or any other group that practices brainwashing, character assassination, and more. really a bad add to keep up :/ |
