Censored cursing ads

[dragonfli]

Are ads with censored curses allowed. I see them. Anyone else?

[bigballofyarn]

My boyfriend keeps seeing censored F words within the ads on his forum. I haven't seen them on mine. I'm not sure if they're allowed.

Hi,

Can you capture a screenshot of what your seeing?

This ad wouldn't violate our ad policies.

Really?
I for one would be appalled to have a visitor to my site seeing an ad like that. I'm sorry Michael, but ads like that do not bring new visitors confidence in one's site, but rather would turn them away from them. Ads like that should always violate any ad policies.

Are suggestive ads against the tos

Where can I find said policies again?

This one I just saw with ad-free disabled cannot possibly be on the approved list. This is disgusting. Michael or Scott  will have to tell us though. It was in a thread about Wrestlemania.

Ads Cannot:

• Flash or strobe excessively
• Redirect or "pop-up" and cover the window
• Contain nudity or be pornography
• Automatically play audio without user interaction

That ad contains an image of cracked eggshells which may appear suggestive based on the text? I can report this to the ad team but there is no guarantee it will be removed.

[bigballofyarn]

Fair enough. I didn't see that they were eggshells.

[bigballofyarn]

I'm only adding on to Dragonfli's thread rather than creating my own since she asked me about suggestive ads and the conversation is already ongoing on here. These aren't eggshells this time.

Does anyone know what this? Regardless of what it is, people are going to think of male genitalia. It was in a thread about standing up against racism.

Okay, this is really getting to bother me.
Either these type of ads go, or I'll end up taking my business elsewhere.
I for one can not believe that a company that has the best interest of their clients would allow ads like those where there are minors allowed to register onto the sites.

So, either these type of ads go, or I will.

Since I doubt that PB would get rid of the ads, due to their recent change of hands, I have deleted all my forums, and forum accounts.

I wish everyone the best, and am saying a final farewell to all in the PB world.
