I think I laughed out loud :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-report-inappropriate-ads#post-138861 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:25:12 +0000 Arden 138861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. I think the ads are tracking my browsing, because all my ads are for alternative construction, doula training, working from home, and international jobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-report-inappropriate-ads#post-138769 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:00:39 +0000 mrbee 138769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: Can you post the URL (that the ad sends you to) to my wall?<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/mrbee/wall" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/mrbee/wall</a></p> <p>That will help me track it down.</p> <p>I haven't blocked all dating ads, since some users may be single. If you send me a link to the particular dating ad, I can block that particular advertiser as well?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-report-inappropriate-ads#post-138754 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:48:52 +0000 MrsCastro 138754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee I just saw the "homosexual acts" add come up again a minute ago and the "talk to russian women" yesterday also... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-report-inappropriate-ads#post-135791 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:00:37 +0000 chopsuey 135791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GRoss to the bedbugs!
