1.) Date and time ad was visible: 10/18/2012 9:36 GMT-5
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): "Test & Keep a Free iPad 3". An attempt to grab your e-mail, phone number and address for spamming purposes, plus completing 11 offers in exchange for a chance to win various prizes. On page 2 (I put in a bogus e-mail to see) they're even open about that goal. They ask for the spam info first of course since often these offers fail to work so people just give up. So next I tried a fake address to get to the offers, checked a few boxes and... blank screen. Man at least give me the run around a bit longer so I feel like I had a chance.Last edited by ericgrau; 2012-11-02 at 07:16 PM. Reason: GMT-5

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Research has shown that the site is a PG15 information hub that aims to provide information safely, without the usual crop of, ah, NSFW material.
It does possess an affiliated "adults only" branch, but that is a separate site that is clearly labeled as such and only linked once, as far as I can tell.
The adults only branch has a banner to prevent entry by the underage. Not that it would stop kids who want in, but hey.Last edited by NineThePuma; 2012-10-31 at 12:51 AM.

4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): The ad is called giants girl, while not all that bad, it does seem to lean pretty hard on soft core porn presentation for female bodies.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
I think I'm going to have to fall back on my tried-and-true "I don't police the internet" defense here. It's a comic strip, with a tangible story (written by a woman) and no actual nudity. The ad itself is entirely harmless.
Do I personally find the artwork tasteless in its shame-free exploitation of the female body? Yes. Is it up to my forum readers to draw their own conclusions about such, should they choose to click on it? Yes.Rich Burlew

3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): bottom box
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): The ad is for a Minecraft server called "PlebCraft". The objectionable part is that it's touting big on the banner that the server is "CRACKED". (Whatever way that would actually look like) I suspect this to be at least questionable, if not illegal.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Just to add to Domochevsky's report: had a look at the site, it gives out cracked clients for minecraft (ones you don't have to pay for) and does something to do with allowing you to add advertisements or something to it.
Either way, very reprehensible and not legal."I'm just going on motive and opportunity here and the fact that if the earth got swallowed by a black hole, I'd look suspiciously in your direction first."

Just to add on to what Surfing HalfOrc has reported, it is also showing up here in Australia. Not sure if that needs to be said, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
I just banned an advertiser who may have been the one Surfing Half-Orc reported, but may have been a wholly different (and equally objectionable) one.

Takes you to a typical "fill out a survey and register for our sponsors" site. Reeks of being a scam.If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.
When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

Re: Report Inappropriate Ads Here
Please don't respond to this thread with anything but reports.
I have it set to notify me of responses to the thread, but the board software only does so for the first such response. Therefore, I have to come here and read every response that gets left in order to "reactivate" the notification, in case there's ever a really offensive ad that needs to be dealt with right away.Rich Burlew
