It's referring to the Medusa in the ad changing the adventurers to stone. Not drug use.

4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): The web comic "misfile". Whilst the picture itself should be okay, the plot involves a pot smoking angel and references several known figures from the Bible such as Gabriel. However since this is not apparent from the ad itself I am unsure whether or not this is a problem. Figured I'd report it and find out.

Seems fine to me. (If memory serves), the actual content uses angels without making much of any comment on religious stuffs.

I've actually read that webcomic. It doesn't really focus on either the religious figures or pot smoking. (In fact, it completely glosses over most religious implications of angels.)
As a quick note, Also seeing the add here in canada.

/me pops up to report the Misfile ad for completely different reasons.
1.) Date and time ad was visible: EST (GMT-7) 09:58
2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): USE
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): Top box
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): Involves two scantily clad teens laying on one another. As a frequent reader I know the comic isn't pornographic, but I'm not sure that Missi's outfit is quite appropriate for the board.
For the religious angle, while there ARE mentions of figures from the bible, the comic has almost nothing to do with religion, and a number of the names just happen to be used. The pot smoking angel is a major character, but he gets lot of flack for said pot smoking.
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): Involves two scantily clad teens laying on one another.
Sheriff: Please stop reporting the same ad. Once it's been brought to The Giant's attention, he can look at it and decide. The re-reporting and commentary is not necessary.

I can't bar an advertiser who is not currently advertising, and I'm not going to spend the time to maintain a list of people who I may bar if they ever advertise again. If they do advertise again, though, feel free to raise your objection at that time and I'll make a decision then.

Is this really such a hard concept?

Yes, but that was in reply to a different report (about Wizard School, complaining about it going too far towards rape for a joke) which apparently has been deleted since then.
Speaking of that deleted report, the advertiser in question is up again.
1.) Date and time ad was visible: June 25, 9:32 am Eastern time
2.) Region (Pick one: USA, Canada, Europe, or Rest of the World): USA
3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): Top box
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): The web comic Wizard School includes one page that the previous reporter feels treats rape in an inappropriate manner. The page in question is here. The comic in general also features a lot of foul language. I don't know if these issues really merit blocking the ad, but now you can make the decision.

Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): "Gesshoku". Translating the Japanese, "your source for dom/sub, gay, and lesbian goods" -- which is somewhat misleading, the site actually just sells Japanese-inspired clothing, only some of which has vulgar Japanese words.

2.) Region: Canada
3.) Location of ad: Bottom
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): The ad itself is a sloppy MSPaint collage of pictures of TOTES RIPPED male and female midsections that uses the same thumbnail three times because apparently the guy who made it was too lazy to spend more than three seconds on Google Images. It features centrally a mouse hovering over the word "here" and is declares to have the truth about "SIX PACK ABS." While circumspect in itself, actually clicking the link takes you to some Amazon store for 3D glasses (which was quite disappointing.)

Note I am also seeing this ad in the US at 3:51 PM GMT -5.

4) Ad contains the usual 'WARNING ACT NOW' hyperbole, and links to a site whose domain speaks for itself as a scam. Additionally, the text on the page linked in the ad has text that fits into 'what the professionals don't want you to know! "Free"!' archetype.

4. Ad description: WARNING!!! Backlinks are the Currency of SEO! With a Red Button stating "Act Now!"
The ad itself goes on how to get their "Blog Post Cheat Sheet," apparantly techniques to get more people to read your blog posts?
Not sure if this is not allowed, as there is no nudity, over-the-top violence or the usual no-nos, but it reads like a "Buy our Mailing Lists" how-to spam and scam.

OK, Game CD keys is just flat-out banned for probably-illegal content.
The "Backlinks" ad is also banned. Shady, at best.
The other ads that have been reported have withdrawn their bids, so I can't take action against them. If they reappear, please report them again.
Also, please do not delete your reports on this thread for any reason--even if I decide not to take action. It makes it very difficult to figure out the chain of events and leads to duplicate reports.
