Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Ad canceled. Advertiser has been contacted and told they could run a different (less objectionable) ad in the future.
Ad canceled. Advertiser blocked.
I watched some of this, and it basically amounts to a pitch for an IndieGoGo drive to fund a new type of video content creation whatchamacallit, to prevent said "dark future." I don't think there's anything shady going on, unless someone has additional evidence.Rich Burlew

1.) Date and time ad was visible: Jan. 18, 2013, 6:35 am (GMT +9)
2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): Rest of the World (South Korea)
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): Top and Bottom
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): Not sure if this one is legal or not: World 8-4, a Minecraft Server.
I don't play Minecraft, so I don't know the difference between Legal and Shady servers. If this is legit, sorry for the false alarm.Thanks to Ceika (X2), Yeril, Holammer and Dr. Bath for the Avatars!

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
I likewise know little, but it looks legitimate. If anyone has specific reason to think otherwise, feel free to say so. Otherwise, I'll let it stand.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
I don't see anything remotely NSFW or even mildly sexual. Unless you're referring to the "Trek yourself before you wreck yourself" which refers to a popular song with the line "Check yourself before you wreck yourself". Same goes for all the shirts on the site itself despite their slogan of "The place for dirty laundry" they keep everything clean and appropriate for public wearing.
I have my own TV show featuring local musicians performing live. YouTube page with full episodes and outtake clips here.
I also have another YouTube page with local live music clips I've filmed on my own.
Then there is my gaming YouTube page with Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft, and others.
Finally, I stream on Twitch, mostly Kerbal Space Program and Minecraft.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Asiandating site looks legitimate actually. They have a mobile site and a few clicks aroun makes it feel creepy but not Scammy. No more of a scam than any other dating site at least.

2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): USA
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): Bottom Box
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): Scrolling over the ad gave me a pop up that said "click here to get stoned" or something along those lines. Needless to say I didn't follow the link to confirm it was the ad. I don't trust my current firewall enough to do that.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
That sounds like the top box ad, not bottom, and it's for a webcomic. The "get stoned" line is a joke referring to the petrification by a medusa shown in the ad. This specific ad has been reported before, both for "stoned" and for a nudity reference, and was judged to be ok.
Edit: And it got swapped out moments after I posted.Last edited by Douglas; 2013-01-25 at 11:13 PM.

4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): Ad states "Does she want to be just friends? FIND OUT WHY! Click here!" Brief click-through confirms it's one of those about "The friend zone", and, more candidly, about getting women to sleep with you, and the portal asks for a name and an e-mail address. It's just enough to set my scam-alarm off.Last edited by Thanatos 51-50; 2013-01-26 at 09:19 AM.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Regardless, it still seems to violate the 'Flaming' rules:
•Posting insults or slurs based on anyone's race, religion, ethnicity, age, gender, or sexual orientation is a Permanent Infraction (see below).
Depicting men as being unable to control their urges has drawn consequences in the past in these forums.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Strictly speaking, advertisers are not under the exact same set of rules that posters are. While we do judge ads for their content—and often reject them based upon it—we do not necessarily draw the lines in the same place.
Further, let's not discuss whether an ad is appropriate or not here. Just report it and leave it to me to decide.
I will check into the other reports and post again.Rich Burlew

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
197 reviews:
http://reviewopedia.com/workathome/m...legit-or-scam/
Around 50% or more of the reviewers complained about shoddy quality, difficulty canceling, adware and charging the credit card after the free trial against user wishes. Difficulty canceling was the biggest complaint.
There are accusations that even many of the 5 star reviews are fake, the other 50%, and when I read them many of them did seem to be worded like ads. I don't think real people could ever write comments like that and they are all way too similar to each other. Probably paid to put a feature list in their own words.Last edited by ericgrau; 2013-02-01 at 12:59 PM.

Investigating the site (branddealonline.com), their privacy policy includes a clause that you specifically authorize and consent to them bombarding you with third party telemarketing, and the terms and conditions to redeem the offer require getting numerous "sponsor action points" and referring friends.Last edited by Douglas; 2013-02-01 at 05:53 PM.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
I dont know if this is innapropriate or not but i actually have 2 things
1. This might be malware on my computer or something buut.
1.) Date and time ad was visible: pretty much all the time
2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): USA
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): in the text in posts
4.) keeps appearing as a link to random sites to buy things like tablets, toys, clothes, and i think i saw *cough* womens clothing *cough* and when i put my cursor over it it says it's from solid savings
one example here https://www.hyundaiusa.com/?cid=sem&...3-000013224765
another one http://i.trkjmp.com/click?v=VVM6MzM4...jU3NzhkOWFiNDk
it always redirects me to something random like this but it says solidsavings :p
and also i dont know where this is supposed to go but in the homebrew section of the forums there are 2 (2?) bots posting links to free video hosting sites for movies and for also political news from other countries n such
an example from today:

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
For your first issue, it's Malware on your PC. A program like MalwareBytes or Spybot Search and Destroy will help you get rid of it. If you need help, start a thread in Friendly Banter - lots of folks there will be quick to give you the links and advice you need.
For the second, report the first post in the thread by clicking the red triangle in the bottom left corner of the post.John Ling

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Sheriff: Please stop with the minute-by-minute updates. It makes considerable extra work for Rich, who has to review them all to see if this is regarding multiple ads or just a single ad.
I've left the first several that were submitted more or less simultaneously, but there were another eight or so that pretty much just piled on and several that didn't say anything beyond "oh you beat me to it" or "eww!" Don't do that.Last edited by Roland St. Jude; 2013-03-06 at 09:38 PM.
