    Please report inappropriate & problematic Google Ads here.

    *** Please note:
    The Google Ad feature works by posting ads that it thinks fits the keywords found within a thread.
    Sometimes it posts things that really aren't appropriate for this site.

    Unfortunately, we can't control that when it first happens.
    But if you report such an ad here, we can add it to a filter so it won't be posted again.

    Please post the URL of the site advertised in this thread.
    Please don't post the initial GoogleAds link. It is a violation for the site admins to click on GoogleAds. So we need you to click on the GoogleAd link first, go to the site, then copy and post here the URL of the site at which you end up via the ad link.

    You're help with this is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I love the new look for the site, and I can appreciate how the adsense ads wil probably be a big help financially, however, I was a little disturbed when this set of ads was the first thing to greet me when I came to the forum:



    Probably a fluke, but maybe one you want to do something about....

    Not only does it apply nicely to Masters, but is probably a deep truth.

    I saw that one when I was one too. I was going to say something, but I didn't yet. You just beat me to it. Seems a bit out of place seeing that ad on here.

    Yeah, we can filter single address.
    But we'll need your help.

    To everyone:
    Please send me a PM everytime you see a link that you think is inappropriate or illegal and give me the full address (I can't click on the links due to the googleads rules).
    I'll check it and make sure to add it to the filter list if it has to go.
    Keep in mind it may take a few hours before it starts filtering them.

    We'll probably better put a sticky thread about that...

    i know that this a a family friendly site but if it brings more more to the site. then just leave the filters how they are. Are people really that offended by just a few words nowdays? I think for the most part everyone here is at least of the age of 13 or so and in todays world they pretty much know about sex and things of that nature. Really leave the filters how they are if it brings money in. Dont lose money for a great site just over a few little words that werent even vulgar.

    It's more about making sure Mattel is happy.
    They want the site all ages, and we have to enforce that.

    And, I don't think anyone wants the site to be a gateway to a porn site. I mean, they are just words, but there is a link attached to them that go to another place.

    I also saw that 'Old Man' link, but when I clicked on it, I don't remember it taking me to an inappropriate site.

    Are you saying that inappropriate is in the eyes of the beholder?

    Well, for me yes, but I was thinking of the younger, more curious visitors.

    so watch what your kids look at on the net pretty simple. And as i stated before i think that the youngest ones here are around 13 and kids today already know about sex. It really dosnt matter because its not even in vals hands if he wanted to, its in mattels.

    All i was saying is that if it brought more money in to leave them there. For a site that pretty much depends on people going though certain links to buy things or donations or their own hard earned money any little bit would help, and for adults to oh no watch what their kids do on the net or not go to a link if it "offended" them would be a small price to pay for a great site like this.

    I don't know how this thread works but I'm miffed at seeing Scientology church ads everytime I log on. This is worrying and disturbing...

    I have filtered at least one scientology link.
    Please, post the URL here (I can't click on the banners per Google Ads rules) and I'll filter that too
    Thanks!

    Just a reminder to post those ads here so we can filter out any inappropriate ones.

    Today's ad favors only one side of a political and religious backed California proposition. It is unfair and wrong. Most importantly it has no business being on he-man.org.

    gay dating and dating ads in general

    are these appropriate? I mean I know there is a good number of gay fans and they have every right to date but these and any other dating banner ad that comes up is kind of embarrassing to have big and bold on my screen when others come around. this one in particular has a family unfriendly pic
    http://www.gaychubbydating.com/

    I'm not trying to start anything but I recall people being upset about the muslim singles website ads and I haven't seen those in a while so I think these should be removed as well, doesn't fit on a toy and toon site IMO (any kind of dating site to be honest) not a demand but it's my opinion.

    http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/p...295555266&nm=3

    I'd call that Tar Swamp material at the least. I mean I'm agnostic and even I was a little put off

    You need to give me the actual URL of the site advertised, not the googleads link.
    We (the sites owners) cannot click on the ads to find out the site, as that is a violation of the googleads rules
