Hello Guests : Share Your Ad Experience.

[bigballofyarn]

Reminder: It is free to register and post on this forum. You will not see any ads while logged in to this forum. The only exception would be if I temporarily disable ad-free because I'm going to be generating a lot of page views in a short period of time. I do not profit from the ads. They simply keep ProBoards a free service.

People viewing this forum as a guest will always see ads on this forum. ProBoards has a strict ad policy. Inappropriate ads should never be fed to the forum. If you see an inappropriate ad, take a screenshot, and share it in this thread. Let me know the date and time you saw the ad. Let me know what thread you were viewing when you saw the ad.

If you are a member who saw a bad ad while viewing as a guest, report the ad here.

Ads cannot:

-Flash or strobe excessively.
-Redirect or "pop-up" and cover the window.
-Contain nudity or pornography.
-Automatically play audio without user interaction.

Even if the ad does not fall into any of the above and you feel that it is inappropriate, let me know in this thread.


The ProBoards admins are requesting further information, if applicable and if you are willing to provide it.

Date and Time when it happened (with timezone):
The user’s platform (device, browser, ISP network):
The user’s location:
The URL where it happened (the page the user was on before the redirect or the issue):
The URL the user was redirected to (if this was a redirect)

Are we looking for something specifcic?

I think it's up to us to point out what we think is inappropriate if there's anything at all.

Guests will begin to see ads again at midnight UTC. Members who are logged in will not see ads. If you encounter a problematic ad as a guest, please report it here. Make sure to include the OS and browser you are using if you'd like me to escalate the ad to a higher authority. You do not have to post your IP address.

[xea989]

Guests once again won't see ads in 99.99% of scenarios.

[xea989]

Guests will see ads again effective today. We do not profit from this, but it keeps Proboards a free service. You will NOT see ads while logged in to your account.

It's weird that the guest ad can show up for members when you work on the forum.

[bigballofyarn]

Adam D.,
Correct. That's not supposed to be happening. I temporarily disabled ad-free viewing for members. ProBoards is investigating this issue because it's affecting most forums at the moment.

I haven't seen anything bad today when I viewed as a guest.  If I do, I will share it the screenshot here. I think others will not agree with me that it's bad but I think adult anime is bad and that is my personal opinions and proboards does show these ads, probably because they are lax on their policy on what they consider adult or not. But it's clearly "p-rn for children". I asked my son "what does this ad mean to you? He speaks Japanese and he knew exactly what it meant. It was a man and a women in anime talking about s-x. I hate that, I know others don't care, but not me, I will report that if I see it and I know it's not this forum or proboards fault since they (PB) doesn't understand what they do or their policy doesn't make a judgment call on it.
