    Issue With Advertisements

    When I went to go make a stats sig, I noticed a new advertisement of True, which is apparrently another one of those "looking for a single? click here nao!" things. It was pretty, um, exploitive, and, like in the other [old] thread, you need to go through and cut down on advertisements like that.

      I CAN'T. This is what this thread is for. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of young non-subscribers who can see these advertisements, and it really needs to be taken care of. T_T

        Ya, seriously. I sure didn't notice anything like this, either.

        Edit: grr...IAAW posted right before I did saying he can't subscribe.

          Well, I think the point is not the concept of advertisements in general, just the issue of what advertisements are appropriate for this site.

            Yes, that's exactly what i'm explaining. There aren't many advertisments shown on FFR that are appropriate for this site, especially since children have as much of a chance as seeing the inappropriate advertisements as us. This is an issue that needs to be tooken care of.

              kids need to be exposed to things, otherwise they will become messed up later in life. A skimpy ad will do nothing bad

                Heh. It rhymes.

                I dunno, I haven't seen that ad. I'm sure most kids have seen worse things on TV.

                  I'm sure that it doesn't matter. I don't know if Synth will take it down or not. I know that oftentimes, True pays more than other sites, and they can afford it, because people click on their links more often, giving Synth more money yet again.. I was happy with Synth being smart enough to avoid that, but now I've got skimpily dressed girls on my desktop, and it annoys me.

                      lol, no, thats not the point.

                      We don't work with the advertisers themselves. We do try to monitor which ads are put through though.

                      We will take a look at it. Thanks for the headsup!
