Forum: paintdotnet.forumer.com

I usually don't pay much attention to the banner ads; I just happened to see this one as I was navigating away from one of the fora. Before I could take a screen shot, my browser had loaded the next page; by the time I'd returned to it, PHP had swapped it out with another ad. I don't know whether it was a Google ad or not.

The offense is that it was advertising >>"Hard Boys Gay Photography," complete with a sample of said product. Wearing no clothing. Full frontal nudity.<< (tried to make this harder to see because of the possible offense. Hit "quote" or highlight to read)

I almost hurled. As a moderator, one of my primary duties is to remove things such as that from posting on our board; I know that such an ad would be against the policies and procedures of Forumer as well as Paint.NET, so I'm reporting this to give you an opportunity to look into it. Thank you for your time.

So you saw a gay guy naked in an ad? Hmmm

I suggest your forum try to get the "ads by google" back.

Hi,

Sorry about that ad, unfortunately Limez has limited control over the ads, and if I were to inform him of this matter, then you would actually need to click on the ad (yes I know), then pass on the link, so Limez may filter any ads coming from that website.

Eric : They have Google ads, but it was in one of the banner ads.

next time you see that ad please do as Sawan said............. take a screen shot and also click on it and save the URL of the destination page and PM it all to me so I can pass it on to Limez.

And make sure you PM it and not post it here........... like this post should have been...

yes, screenshot + full URL of where it leads needs to be emailed to me. This way I can complain to the ad network and fix the problem.
