Scam adverts on the site?

[jellyphants]

I know you probably can't filter what sort of ads you get on this site, and I won't use adblock because I respect this site, but just saying that I found some scam ads on this website. If you could do anything to filter this type of stuff out it would be great.

I see scam ads or malware ads all the time, so I support this 100%

Yeah...

I use the Chrome popup blocker, but it does not block these ones.

Maybe you should send this directly to a staff member (Global mod, etc)

Good idea.

Although the global mods can forward information to other staff members, I don't think they can directly do anything about it. From previous advice I've seen, it might be better to send in an admin-only help ticket about this. Try to get the link of the ad (can right click then Copy Link Location or something so you don't have to actually click the ad). I'm not sure how much control the admins have over the ads, but I think they at least have indirect control, so they can do something ^^

Nick does have the ability to block certain sites which are dangerous or inappropriate from advertising here, so please send a help ticket set to admin only as Nickjr suggested. ^^

I already have, although I haven't managed to get the link of the site. If I see it again, I'll copy the link down.
