Can you kill the adds with sound. Like the smiley add that says OMG>.... NO WAY...

and there is another one that does some shuffling sound too, taht is annoying.

The ad's on the side of the page - mostly on PTS - they are disgusting.


When I'm on the site I don't want to see a big picture of a kid with his teeth coming out of his nose. I know it's sad but I don't need to have a big picture of it.


That is all.

Well, the #1 College site, with the lesbian kisses and naked bums, is certainly not what I expect from this site. That needs to go in order to keep this a "all ages friendly" site.

There are currently over 4,000 banners from over 800 advertisers that could appear on ATS at any given moment for users across the globe. We've been proactive in removing offensive ads... but we need help to do so... such as the advertiser and the banner network (TribalFusion, ValueClick, RightMedia, 24/7 Real) that the ad is coming from. Without that, it's impossible to locate ads based on description (or even screen shots) alone.

The College one is from a company called "GenerousGenie.com"


Is that what you're looking for?

There is no advertiser called "Generous____" in any of the ad networks.

The name of the ad network is very important... it narrows the search significantly.

I hope we're not going to get rid of those American Apparel women's underwear adds. I really like those.

Peace

Well, I browse ATS from my desk while ostensibly "working" for a public school district. Unfortunately, it makes lingering on questionable content unlikely and career threatening. Should I encounter it in a less volatile location, I will do some sleuthing.

A recently locked thread here in Q&I also mentions this ad.

i made a thread about that one...

here it is:

Google is working feverishly to get the "college girl" ad OFF their network.

There's nothing we can do about it, a simple refresh will remove it from your screen.

You have to wonder how the hacker who got that into the Google network did it though, with all their money you'd think Google would be harder to break into than the Fed!

Springer...

it was a hacker!?!?!?

w0w, that's amazing...

I am not sure when advertisers decided that annoying ads improved business. The flashing ones are enough to start a seizure. They can guarantee that I would not click on that add and will hit refresh immediately everytime it pops up.

Do they really want to sell something?

I've seen a definite increase in bad flashy ones in the last couple of days, I'll try and get the network next time I see them.. - one is bright green and red and goes in the vertical ad bar, the other one is black and white and appears at the top of the screen.

Muy annoying.

The ad which says f.rt button...so tempting to click on it to see what it does everytime i see it i move the mouse towards it & think about clicking away

When you've heard soemthing enough times it becomes a physical part of the brain. That scamp is part of you now!

Really icky.

I saw the ad, and I am sure it wasnt Google, ..

I am pretty sure it was a fastclick ad.

Glad they are gone.
