Porn adverts!
Tonight I reported an ad because it had links to naked women which I don't expect on a spiritual site. Now every banner and google ad is for strippers or some sexual act, hot girls etc! I realise that the ads are probaly latching onto that porn post and not the direct fault of the admins but it is possible to ban these kinds of ads. And refine what is allowed.
I know I am new here but I lurked for along time before reading a post that I felt I should respond to, and I had hoped that the massive number of ads that I got as a guest would not be the same if I registered. How wrong I was!
Please get rid of these disgusting ads!
I cannot copy them to post here, they will hijack my cursor and link me, but I do not believe I am the only member suffering like this. Perhaps this is why that for such a huge forum there are so few posting members?
Thanks

I think you are shooting on the wrong folk now....I think we never have made any adds inside any threads....it is all work from members.
We have always frighted SPAM people, but in order to do so, they have to be posted first....I personally read several times each day each post to see if links are given...so it can be deleted.
It must be clear that I can't, or none of us can, be aware just when the links are posted, so other members will always have a chance to meet this kind of of crap.
Not long ago I re posted something I post every time we have a "attack" from those rats surfing the net

So you did the right thing...you used the Inap button...but hopefully you and other will understand that we never would post anything like that ourselves!

Hi,
Thanks so much for replying. I am sorry to make a fuss but I think you might have minsunderstood my point, I wasn't attacking the forum at all. I was saying that there are limits that can be placed on the type of ads that are run by google etc.
The spam posts are a direct cause of the bad ads/banners etc that appear on the forum. As far as I am aware advertising content is directly chosen by google (or whomever) by trigger words in posts. So if every post was love and light we get lots of ads for love and friendship and dating agencies, if naked is mentioned the ads pick that up and start triggering naked ads and the 'boob' ones I presume. The content can be controlled in the adword control panel or whatever software they use, alternatively they can contact their provider direct and just ask to stop the sexual and other ads, maybe put an under 18 content limit on what appears. See what I mean? Sadly spam is everywhere and I realise that it is these 'members' that are causing the ad problem to worsen but it can be lessened by the admin/owner action.

Well I thought that I would add a bit here becasue the nasty porn ads between the posts have gone, but then this thread has stuck in the middle "naughty brunette on vacation . view this hot scene! and a picture of two girls french kissing with the headline Sticky and Sweet, two girls get a little tongue tied. I hope that this shows that when words like porn are in the actual posts Google ads will pick that up and post ads to suit! The bottom banner has lots of nudity in too!
I was going to ask if the admin really thought that all these banner ads were really necessary? The My Lord videos all show scantily clad girls, are they really suitable for a mystical forum? Why not block the pictures? Why not change the google ad words in the company profile? I do wonder if that is why such an enormous forum with thousands of members seems to only have a few strong minded people actually posting?

I found a solution If you simply can't bear the ads anymore and you use Mozilla Firefox as a browser you can download 'Adblock' and it will remove all the ads you choose http://tinyurl.com/2cd87q So no more complaints from me and I am free to enjoy the board
