What's with all this sudden semi-porno girl ads/photos/avatars all over MTS? Have you suddenly discovered that the majority of your users are adult men? Are you changing into a dating site?

Um, what? Where? Screenshots? Examples?

We don't have control over what ads are displayed but truly inappropriate ones (i.e. beyond PG-13) we can report to the ad company and have them take them out of rotation. Avatars or posting pics are done by the individual users - inappropriate ones we can remove.

What kind of ads are showing? This maybe a misunderstanding a or virus on your part. Screenshots would be awesome.

If you see pornographic pictures on this site, put up a link to them (such as the avatars) or report the post that it is in. I have personally never seen any pictures, are they scanticly clad women, or full on naked?

Actually. If the images are pornographic or otherwise revealing (showing nipples, genitals, or asscrack), please PM me links to screenshots rather than posting them here in the thread.

Is it Evony again?

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Evony ad: Wank now, my lord?

ilomasimsfan You can block most ads with AdBlock and NoScript. The admin and mods here do try to keep the ads not too trashy, but you can just nuke most of them if you wish.

I see fairly innocent advertising for flying from Heathrow airport.. unless that's some hidden message for porn

Noscript is your friend

Is it by any chance an ad for "a complimentary X-Ray scanner"? It shows a butt wearing thongs (I just took a screenshot, if needed).

I don't see it as being porno or offensive, just a silly little ad. Now I wonder who would actually believe that you could "undress" someone by using your phone? I'm sure some people do, otherwise why pay for the ad?

The really worrying thing about those ads is that there must be some people who think that an x-ray which can, magically, see through shirts, trousers, skirts, coats, and everything else... is somehow defeated by panties, bras, and skin.

Defeated? Why, such a sophisticated piece of software probably *could* let you peek at someone's ribs, but why would you want to, when boobs are much more fun to look at? And I guess some people like panties, bras and skin, that's why x-ray scanner 5000 has multiple settings option.

Bah, I suppose it's pointless to question the taste of people with an IQ low enough to freeze helium.

Yeah, those are a nuisance, but they're hardly pornographic. Well, except the poster in the background. But the real girl distracts attention . Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that UGO won't remove an ad unless it is actually 18+.
