Shouldn't certain ads be blocked?

Postby Kimonio » April 23rd, 2010, 2:18 pm

EXAMPLE:
-if you say the picture displays half-nud women, why do you post it ~Suyo -




Think about it, Plentyoffish is a dating site. That might sound okay, seeing as we have older teens on here, but let me explain a little more over why these types of ads shouldn't be allowed.



First off, observe the picture. As you can see, she appears to be either half nude, wearing undergarments, or wearing an outfit that gives thoughts. As you guys know, we have kids who browse this site. I don't think that we want them to see this and get ideas.



Second off, I decided to see why the ads were popular. I went to the site and saw catagories. One of them had to do with "doing it". Yeah. Kids here shouldn't see that either.


Now, I drift to the Evony ones. The ones that show the gladiator are okay, but the ones with the women and bras? Hell naw. Not good enough to be on a kid site.



What I am getting at, guys, is that Runouw needs to start blocking ads. We have little kids, and they shouldn't see this kind of stuff, should they?

Oh, yes, definitely. Especially because at schools, I have a feeling that these ads get the site blocked.

Yeah, I agree with you Kim. Some of these ads really are somewhat risque…

Yeah, take Kirby859. Case in point.

10 years ago this wouldn't be okay, for a ten year old to see this. Why is it now?

True. There is no point in advertising.

Plus, we ban advertising spam, but keep that? We look like freaking hypocrites!
