Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
1.) Date and time ad was visible: March 8th, 2013, 11:38 pm, EST
2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): USA
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): Bottom
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): Drugcraft. Seems awfully inappropriate to be advertising a version of minecraft that is focused on Drugs. May just be me being overly sensitive, but I wouldn't want my oldest daughter stumbling across that if she got on my computer.(To be clear, it's a minecraft private server(from what I can tell) called Drugcraft)

I didn't click on the ad, as they are usually scams/spams/malware. But generally when you see the words Free Video Games, you know they are iffy at best, and illegal at worst.Thanks to Ceika (X2), Yeril, Holammer and Dr. Bath for the Avatars!

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
I tried opening the 99gamers ad and at first glance it doesn't seem all that bad. It appears to be a service by which you can sell old video games and purchase used ones from others using virtual currency. The ad doesn't refer to "free video games", it refers to "free video game trading." As in, the trading service is free but the video games aren't.
Also, the very few people who went on the site and rated it on Web of Trust gave it a perfect score for what that's worth.Last edited by Bovine Colonel; 2013-03-12 at 08:23 PM.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
As far as I can tell for a quick look, it seems to be on the level. It's just a site that helps people trade their used games.
Oh, also visible in Canada.The following errors occurred with your search:

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Yeah, no. It's a common slang terminology for Magic: The Gathering cards, and there's nothing about the comic being advertised that is even slightly about illegal drugs. No action taken.

Yup, looks like a scam to collect emails at the very least. Advertiser banned.

Scam advertiser blocked. I can't find the one with the "cartoon butt," though.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
I haven't clicked the picture itself, because as your post seems to indicate, it may contain mallicious executables, but an inspection of the image data shows that it links here: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=284147, a spam thread which has stayed up for a whole day by now...
EDIT:
Seems I must've mixed it up with where I stood when opening up the image data, which threw me off track as soon as I moved away from the page.Last edited by Teddy; 2013-05-20 at 02:12 PM.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Edit: sorry for the double report, I just noticed this one was reported yesterday after I'd posted.
1.) Date and time ad was visible: 20/05/2013
2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): Europe
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): Tox
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic):
"Tired of being a slave to your boss? Discover how to fire your boss in just hours per - this is barely legal => click here"
Not followed the link, but it at the very least looks extremely dubious and smacks of some sort of scam.Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2013-05-20 at 10:47 AM.

Hmm... Borderline/one the Giant needs to make the call on. DrunkQuest is a Kickstarter for a new type of drinking game. As many members of the forum are underage, not sure if this is a product GiantITP wants to be associated with. Nothing technically illegal, not pornographic.Thanks to Ceika (X2), Yeril, Holammer and Dr. Bath for the Avatars!

In edition to offering "custom weapons" and "pointshop", TTT stands for Trouble in Terrorist Town. Terrorist, whilst being a defined term that is not inherantly politcal, did become very politcal during the previous decade, not sure if this is a problem though, thought I report it just to be on the safe side."It doesn't matter how much you struggle or strive,
You'll never get out of life alive,
So please kill yourself and save this land,
And your last mission is to spread my command,"

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Looks like I missed most of these, though I'm not sure whether all of them would have qualified for blocking anyway. I think I probably would have allowed the DrunkQuest one, since alcohol is legal and the game itself isn't actually an alcohol product anyway. Buying a copy of the game will not actually get anyone drunk.
EDIT: Was able to find the "slave to your boss" and TTT ones in my expired bids; advertisers blocked.Rich Burlew

1.) Date and time ad was visible: June 8th, 9:04 AM eastern standard time.
2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): USA
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): Bottom
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): "Automatic SEDUCTION you can have her tonight," with a (fully clothed) lady to left, her pinkie in her mouth.
While I don't think the ad itself is objectionable (though it may be), the website is trying to sell you a book with hints to seduce "any woman you want." When you try to close the tab or window, it does that "hey, look at this popup telling you not to leave!" thing that's synonymous with scams.It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.
