Very inappropriate images in adverts

Post by bn8959 » Fri Feb 28, 2020 9:11 pm

I am not a fan of the increased number of adverts on this site, particularly on mobiles. Most are for useless click-bait sites too. However today I’ve seen adverts containing images of old men giving each other blow jobs (seemingly advertising rs246 itself!). I can predict this being an opportunity for jokes about other members being featured on the site; but the admins need to be aware of what is being shown on their site.

This is almost certainly something local (i.e. corrupted or malware) on your device itself that is linking to inappropriate web sites, get someone IT literate to check it over.

I work in IT security it’s not ;)
It’s just the Ad service the site uses pulling a dodgy image some somewhere. I think the mods should check with their Ad provider.

I'll let PhilT explain how the ads are selected for this particular site, but usually they are based around your recent google search history.

I'd normally agree with you but I definitely haven't been searching for gay pensioner porn. The topic on the right perhaps as its rs related but the picture doesn't match the topic. And I get the exact same picture bn8959 so unlikely.

This advert is coming from another audi forum i believe. It is coming from users who frequent the particular site.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!
