Inappropriate ads on the website - please report
« on: April 12, 2013, 11:48:44 am »
Hello all

As you'll probably have noticed we have adverts on the TAS forum to help pay for the server the site runs on and the bandwidth we use.

Some of these ads are served from an external source, and although we disallow some broad categories of ad like gambling, we have no fine control over what ads might appear in future.

This means that from time to time you might see an ad that you feel is not appropriate - if this happens please report it and we'll block the ad. For example this morning we blocked a Filipino 'dating' site after a report by a member (thanks Sally).  :)

Thanks,

Dan

Not sure it is inappropriate, many a small holder (or big holder)  has no time for finding a nice grateful  helper :innocent: .....so why not.. ?

Please can you make a note of the display URL and report it, or take a screen shot? We need to know a bit more about the ad to block it.

Thanks,

Dan

Ah, yes, that's a different form of advertising, completely unsanctioned!

Most spam is cleaned off the forum at about 8am, so if you're on the site at 6am you may see the posts from our friendly neighbourhood kitchen fitters kindly offering their services. Sometimes in Cincinatti and other far-flung places!

We do what we can to prevent stuff like this ever getting posted, but some will always get through.
