If you've seen an advert on the site that you think is inappropriate, please report it here. As I explained here I have spent a fair bit of time trying to make sure the ads we display here are suitable for all ages and have blocked dozens of ads and ad networks. But advertisers are constantly trying to work around the system.

So if you see an inappropriate ad, firstly don't click on it. Please take a screenshot, upload it somewhere (e.g. imgur.com) and post an answer here with a link to the image.

To clarify, by "inappropriate" I generally mean something that's either misleading, or something that isn't suitable for all ages (like sexual references). It does not mean something that you simply disagree with (example: a game you don't like).

Do weird dating ads count? ("Meet hot asian women near you!" sort of things)
PM, I've been meaning to ask you, do Adblockers affect site revenue a lot? I just realized I have mine on ALL the time, and was curious how much an Adblocker from one individual IP address impacts the site and its revenue. I'll disable it, if you want me to...
@Rex One person individually makes very little difference. But if everyone is the same then it does make a bigger difference. I also use adblock but I disable it on sites I visit frequently. But no worries - at the moment the ads pay enough to cover the hosting costs so do what you like :)
@Pokemaster  Standard Adblock is a virus, you know that right?
How recent do you want the ad screenshot to be? I have quite a few screenshots of inappropriate ads, but some of them are from a while ago, as I haven't had a way to report them until now. Would it still be useful to post these here?
@Mega_Septile yes that's fine, go ahead. I should still be able to block them.

not sure about this, but idt it's good on a kids site.
peace.


Edit: Got one more. This can shake the souls of orthodox people. I clicked it and the site was unsavoury and extremely bad. Not at all fit for children. (Sorry for the bit blurred image.)

Alrighty cool
LMFAO why do you always get these kinda ads?
Ads are based on search history. Just sayin.
Anyways I don't know why I get these ads. It's so infuriating!
