inappropriate ads

I am getting ads that are inappropriate on my board and in my opinion violate even your terms of service. My board is a motorcycle forum for a private club for families. When my members complain about seeing ads for "gay cruises" I have a problem with that. I don't need to go ad free, the ads are an added benefit as my members use the ad links often. I would appreciate a means of sensoring theses border porn ad links.

Google provide the ads, not proboards.

Google ads must be suitable for all as defined by the law, and googles TOS, this covers things such as sex, pornography etc, not one's dislike for homosexuals.

Ads on proboards (and infact all content) must be suitable for those aged 13 and over. The word gay, and gay people are not unsuitable for those over the age of 13. Programmes are aired throughout the day on TV which have gay characters. If it was a subject which wasnt suitable for all, then gay characters would not be allowed.

Every ad out there is offensive to someone, its impossible to please everyone, so the only rules which there are, is that ads must be suitable for those over 13.
