Clicking on the last page of the current 3.5 RAW questions thread, I just got this message from Chrome:

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
No, the most likely case here is someone in that thread had an avatar or link on the mtgsalvation forums (And that mtgsalvation recently had their forums hacked)- I don't think MTG salvation has done any advertising here, given that there isn't a large Magic:The Gathering playing population here.

Re: Avatar Thingy
This has nothing to do with advertising, so I've moved it out of that thread.
This is caused by an avatar which appears to be hosted at that site. My guess, from the quick searches I've done, is that the advertising on their site allowed advertisers to perform unwanted actions and it was reported.
It should be noted that the advertisers on this site cannot do anything except show a picture. The picture goes to Project Wonderful, which shows it here with a link to their site. It cannot perform any actions.
