FlitterFlutter 1,583 August 27, 2017 Share August 27, 2017 I am not sure this add is appropriate for a MLP forum. Also this is not the only add like this I have seen. 5 Credit to Kiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawCherry 1,673 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 Usually, you get ads that the internet thinks you'd like based on what you've looked up before… 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikifive 24,183 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 (edited) I agree it's not appropriate, though I don't think it's MLPF's fault. That's just what Google sees as appropriate to show, apparently. Either way, that's an ad coming from Google, so ask them. There's an 'X' button in the upper right corner, so you can close it - You can select the reason of why you've closed that add - There's the 'Ad was inappropriate' option available. Sending these reports affect the way of how it's filtering these adds, so it decreases the chances of seeing that kind of stuff in future. 7 hours ago, StrawCherry said: Usually, you get ads that the internet thinks you'd like based on what you've looked up before… That's true, though sometimes it tends to throw random things, so that you could discover new things. Sometimes I see ads of sites, that I don't recall seeing before. Though for the most part it works like you've described, if you saw something once, it will invade you in ads afterwards.

Fhaolan 4,483 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 I have memories of @Feld0 being able to flag ads from Google as being inappropriate for our site. I'll ping him with this thread and see if that feature still exists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noire Panzer 3,526 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 Looks like an AdSense ad...

Bricks_Ahoy 860 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 This is an interesting advertisement. Probably, Google being Google, it is inappropriate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FizzyGreen 909 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 This is the best thing.

It isn't completely true, anyway. Some ads are displayed based on demographic assumptions, some are based on the site itself. Some of the ads are legit to browser history, such as my appliance ads and ads related to colleges since I'm helping the kids pick their top 10 schools. I see similar ads as this on here, and it certainly doesn't match my rather boring internet history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury 455 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 I'm taking care of it, this is somewhat hilarious, and I guess I'm adding even more ads to our blacklist 1 Mercury Poniverse PR/HR Lead Bringing Pony People Together poniverse.net • @poniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury 455 August 29, 2017 Share August 29, 2017 Hopefully I've dealt with it, I blocked most of those ads and a few ford ads. Please let me know of more of these pop up, it's unfortunate that these are direct from google play, and blacklisting all of them would mean no google play ads would ever appear.

DANUTERCISD 204 September 1, 2017 Share September 1, 2017 Yeah, i know that ads can be inaccurate. Just Makin a joke. This is why i have adblock, so i don't see these kind of ads. I actually was opted in to ads, but I'm not now. I'll fix that tomorrow I inhale dank memes, and i intend to make a dank signature soon. I also have shyabetes btw.

Foxy Socks 2,599 September 14, 2017 Share September 14, 2017 I haven't seen any recently like that, at least what I recall. I sometimes get completely Chinese ads even though I only am learning Japanese.
