Annoying Ads?

#1

If you see annoying ads that:

• Play Audio automatically
• expand automatically (ie grows outside of it's usual space)
• any popup (whether within the site, virus warning popup... anything popping up!)
• any redirection
• adult ads

Please let us know. We'll try to remove them. We have filters set to not display such ads to begin with. But some seems to slip by.

How to identify and report?
Well, more information the better. Information that could help are:

• Screenshot - A good screenshot should show it's placement of the ad with respect to its page. In otherwise, post everything, not just the ad itself.
• Name of the advertiser such as the brand.
• Link the ad points to (do not click please, just hover and find out if you can. If not, oh well).
• And if you're slightly more technically gifted, the source around the ad itself.
• The page that you were viewing when the bad ad occurred.
• Please DO NOT add a hyper-link (clickable) to a bad website. Meaning, if you want to write down their address, replace "http" with something like "hxxp" so that it doesn't become a clickable link. We don't want to give the baddies more points by giving them referring links in the eyes of search engines.

Thank you!


Just as a footnote, any ads that violates any of the specification above is a violation of the advertisers own Terms and Conditions. Though I will try to manually remove problematic ones, many are often removed by the advertisers themselves as they don't want it either.

Well, im not sure if this topic is still active, but there is a new add about winning something (the usual) the problem is that it has a timer and sound like the usual bomb, then when it reach 0 it makes an annoying noise.

Spoiler

Again, my apologies if this was unnecessary.

Ugh... got one that is annoying in its own way. Tried to screenshot but can't get the timing right

It is a Geico ad, and it appears and disappears right over the manga image. By the time I try to screenshot it, it is gone....

Currently on the following link (if it helps):http://www.batoto.net/read/_/2225/mahou-sensei-negima_v19_ch169_by_aquastar/2


Edit: Just to note, even refreshing the page does not get rid of it. I also tried leaving the page and returning, no luck there either.

Edit 2: Came to the realization once I was able to actually read through it that the manga page itself is the ad. Appears whoever uploaded it has that ad imbedded into the image. Not only is the page itself an ad, but it has that "flashing" ad part as well. Talk about a pain in the <insert anatomical part that show most frustation over stupidity like that>.
