Advertising - Reporting bad ads

**DeltrusDisc** · 2012-07-11, 12:47 AM

Keep seeing this very annoying ad on 95% of my refreshes. It is animated, however luckily not giving any sound. Ad from Venus featuring some girls randomly, idk what is exactly going on, though getting old and repetitious.

Let me know if you want me to get more info.

Ok I just want to make a complaint about the annoying popup add at the top of the forum page, since it pops up and bumps the page down an inch and sometimes i click the wrong link by accident. Any chance you can move the add somewhere else?

If it could help you, I had the same problem

I'm using Google Chrome with AdBlock
Since then, no more anoying adds on mmo-champion

When i click on cross, it redirects to page with infected updater for chrome.

Pops on every page.

Probably works only for russian ips.

Filter that goddamn traffic.ru, thank you.

Anyone, please?

MMO-Champion's browsing experience is undesirable. It pops on every 3rd page.

That goddamn traffic.ru is displaying prostitute ads.

Got a Gold selling ad:

**Sunshine** · 2012-07-13, 04:10 PM

Reported the two above.

@sonololo: Can you try running virus and malware scans, just to make sure it's an ad and not something malicious on your computer?

**Radux** · 2012-07-17, 03:09 PM

Not sure how much has been done since the last gold ad I reported, but I'm assuming this is the same company or whatever doing Diablo Gold:

EDIT:
Also got one for account buying/selling - http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com...60485020758989

I was unable to get more detail on the ad I saw as it froze IE9.

I'm at work currently, so I blame bad computer. I'm getting a Carraba's ad that blows up full page and start playing relatively annoying music. Requires 2 close clicks to make it go away. If it pops up again will try to get more info, so long as it doesn't make this awful computer crash again.

**Sunshine** · 2012-07-26, 06:54 PM

Is it from a mouse rollover ad, or spontaneous?

**Agile Emily** · 2012-07-27, 01:16 PM

Not sure if it's classed as a "bad" ad, but it's getting annoying. There are some ads that auto-play sound, which is horrible if I'm doing something else. Just now on my way to the forum I got two at once, and couldn't even tell what they were. If it's classed as a "bad" ad, I can get screenshots.

Thanks =)

Definitely bad ads; screenshots and clickthrough link (url where it would take you if you'd click) would both be very helpful.

**Agile Emily** · 2012-07-27, 04:45 PM

Riiiight, let's see if this works. For some reason, the Vanish ones wouldn't let me click on them. Outside two were sound ads.

Then...

Again, both of the outer ones were sound ads. These led to...

and

Then on my way to post this here I got this. Middle was a sound ad.

And when clicking in the corner I got sent here

Hope that's what you need.

**Sackman** · 2012-07-28, 06:51 PM

Recently, Nurofen advert, requires clicking to disable sound.

Don't have screenshot, will get next time it comes around - there are more also so when I get them I will provide screenshot.

**Sunshine** · 2012-07-28, 07:10 PM

Thanks; that will help.

**Sackman** · 2012-07-29, 10:49 AM

I caught both of them at the same time, what luck... what annoyance.

Nurofen on the left, Gaviscon on the right.

And the other, finish dishwasher tabs lol

**Sunshine** · 2012-08-07, 04:03 AM

It's just a random browser game, I guess, so...

I don't know, just seemed a little.... inappropriate. But you are Sunshine! If you see no problem then that's fine with me. ^_^
