Can ProBoards do anything about the ads that are posted on ProBoards Forums?
There has been a constant barrage of ads from TEMU that consist mostly of sex toys, scanty garments and phallic ice cube trays.
Clicking the "inappropriate ad", "not interested in this ad" , "stop showing me this ad" etc choices seems to have had the effect of increasing the frequency of these ads.
Contacting Google and AdChoices as an individual seems to have no positive effect in stopping these ads. Can ProBoards do anything to stop these ads ?

Hi willoberry, My apologies, these ads should have been blocked and removed from rotation. I will escalate this now.

Hi willoberry, Apologies for the double post! When was the last time you saw one of these ads? They should have been blocked yesterday and I wanted to double check that this is still an active issue.

Hi willoberry , Apologies for the double post! When was the last time you saw one of these ads? They should have been blocked yesterday and I wanted to double check that this is still an active issue. The TEMU ad popped up very briefly this morning and was quickly replaced by one of those "better bathroom bodily function" ads. Not sure whether that was an improvement or not !

willoberry, Along with the "toy" ads, are you by chance seeing ads for different types of "enhancements" in the bedroom? If by "better bathroom functions," if you mean things like Pepto Bismol, Lactaid, laxatives, fiber pills, and things of that nature, those should be fine. If you mean something else, you'd have to let me/us know.

If you mean something else, you'd have to let me/us know. The TEMU ad came and went too fast to see it in detail but it seemed to be the same "adult toys" as in the past. The "bodily function" ads seem to be of the "if you do this you, will improve assorted bodily functions" variety ... I did not click them for more detail. They are not as "specific" as the TEMU ads. They seem to be the same ones that appear as "click bait" in any site with ads. afternoon edit the TEMU ads are still appearing but they now are mostly for skimpy lady's wear, guns and a baby dressed as an octopus.
