Animation Source Forums

I think that there needs to be more strict filtering of ad topics on the site, lately I have seen a few advertisements related to sex, pornography, erotic fiction and other smut. My stand point is not that I really find it offensive because hey, we all know it's abound, but it kind of drags down the site's image.

One example:

Gay Fiction Yaoi
Sexy romantic yaoi / slash stories. Short stories, novels and comics.

I don't know if it is appropriate that such an ad be shown, not from the point of view that it is homoerotic, but that it is somewhat explicit and as I said, porn links kinda make the site look a little trashy.

I'm pretty sure that Steet said he can't control what ads Google puts on the site, he can only block the site specifically, so I don't think there's a way....

i have seen things like find your perfect match and stuff like that. nothing like what you mentioned.

I've seen some of the milder cases of what you're talking about, and I find it nauseating. I mean, come ON! Not only is a lot of it the same kind of junk that would be deleted from anywhere else on this site, but it's just plain junk anywhere.[/i]

Exactly, I can only block specific links, so someone actually need to go to these sites and give me the URL so that I can block them...

Although, Google ads are context sensitive, which means that if they displayed such ads, then there probably was porn mentionned somewhere in the page...And it shouldn't happen. (well too late for this topic, I think )

If they're context sensitive, how come ads for Harry Potter books showed up on pages that said nothing about Harry, or sorcery, or anything like that?
I'll see about getting you some of the URLs if I can find the time. Stuff like this has gotta stop.

That's what I thought...but it was on the front page...unless it was something from the shoutbox

Maybe it was on another page of the site, or there was some word on the page like "magic", sometimes that's enough...

Oh, brother.
