Hey guys, if you get an ad that hijack your browser,or has adult content or anything like that make sure to report it. The [Report Ad] link is found at the bottom of every forum page.
Everyone sees different ads so you could be the only person in the entire forum that sees a particular ad.For this reason I cannot report the ad for you because chances are I havent seen it (unless I happen to also been served that bad ad)
The report wont go to me or to the local staff but directly to proboards admins who usually will pull it out from circulation within 24 hours, or as soon as they find it.Proboards does not allow annoying ads but the problem is they literally serve millions of ads and some bad ones occasionally slip through. You can help weed them out by reporting them.
Here is proboards policy on ads:
Below is what you will see when reporting an ad, notice the time on the various ads and click on the button that matches the time when the bad ad appeared.
Unfortunatly this is all we can do, most forums get hit with misbehaving ads now and then, there is no permanent solution other than reporting them so they can be pulled out of the system.
