An ad was just in the sidebar that seemed a tad on the offensive side, just was wondering if there was a good way to report it on hellobee.
-
Oh no, really?! Wow, I haven't seen any offensive ones. Then again, I wasn't really looking.
-
you read my mind...i saw one earlier today also and thought the same....
-
I'd like to report the bedbug one!! Every time it comes up I want to scream!!! Gross disgusting VERY realistic bedbug magnified 1000x crawling up my computer screen!!!
-
I'm curious to what the ad is!
-
@Maysprout: What was the ad?
-
@mrs. wagon: Ew, really? That would make me itch all over just seeing that! I saw a bedbug commercial on tv yesterday that made me want to go shower.
-
@mrs. wagon: haha i haven't seen that one!
Most of them are of cute little cherub babies, i usually like the ads on here.
-
@mrbee: it's of a blackboard that says in big print
'homosexual sex acts taught in elementary school
say no sign the petition'
I have the print screen, I didn't click the link to see what group it is though. -
the one I saw was "talk to russian women"
-
@Maysprout: Ok I just went into Google AdSense and blocked all ads that contain "References to Sex & Sexuality." We've previously blocked all references to "Cosmetic Procedures", "Politics" and "Gambling & Betting."
Please let me know if you see the ad again!
-
Thanks for looking out for us Mr. Bee!
-
@mrbee: Thanks! Sorry to be a bother it just seemed like a mean spirited ad.
-
oh wow, I haven't seen either of those... tempted to keep reloading pages so I can find one too!! haha. Thanks Mr. Bee!!!
-
Most of the ads I see on Hellobee are baby related, the only annoying ones are like "choose your babies gender, greece or spain can help you with gender selection!"
But I haven't seen any offensive ones. -
There is a bed bug one???
-
@Leialou: I'm guessing only on posts about bed bugs?
-
Maybe if we say "bed bugs" enough on this post it will think this is a post about bed bugs... bed bugs, bed bugs!!
-
@mrbee Oh, so that's how it works. Duh.
-
@Rachel: I want to see the creepy bed bugs too! Bed bugs, bed bugs, bed bugs!
-
GRoss to the bedbugs! I haven't seen any offensive ones. I don't really pay attention to the ads.
-
@mrbee I just saw the "homosexual acts" add come up again a minute ago and the "talk to russian women" yesterday also...
-
@MrsCastro: Can you post the URL (that the ad sends you to) to my wall?
http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/mrbee/wallThat will help me track it down.
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?
Thanks!
-
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.
-
Nothing really helpful to add but as I was reading this I was thinking that I'd never seen the bedbug one. I scrolled back up to get back to the main posting page and there it was right on top! I think I laughed out loud
-
@Arden: I read somewhere that Google lets you opt out of ad categories... ah, here's the link:
-
@MrsCastro: Bee found the ad and I banned it.
Weird that it wasn't banned when we banned "Politics" and "References to Sex & Sexuality."
