Inappropriate Advertising Report Thread

[Diol]

They're targetting rpers with orgys now. Oh god, oh god...save us all!

Botom of II forum.

[Cogitation]

Oh boo hoo, stop being such a whiner, that advert is probably PG-13 at most, and there's shit on the internet that's way worse than that.

This point could have been made without the use of insults or expletives. Borderline spam and flamebait. Knock it off.

Cog's already handle the official bit of business, but it's also worth noting that it doesn't matter that there is stuff that is worse on the internet. [violet] (that is, the site administrator and second only to Max Barry himself about site policy, in case you weren't aware) has made it quite clear that these ads are unwelcome, and she has requested people report it here. So basically, attacking people who are doing what the admin told them to do? Kinda sorta not a good idea.

Now they have changed it to Click here for a roman empire. Better than before, but the scantly clad woman suggests something other than empire.

How to advertise anything... Tits.

[Mesoland]

May I please ask a question?

I get a lot of advertisements popping up for all sorts of dating sites on here, such as the Cougar one and UniformDating, to name 2 of about 6. Would these be classed as inappropriate as well?

True indeed.

On another note, I have gotten an entirely unique new advertisement on my computer whilst browsing this page a few moments ago.

This deserves to be removed, because it is just as deceptive as all the other ones.

Well, it appears that that is fake. It covers up part of your Latest Forum Topics, and you said 'a few minutes ago' but yet you were already typing this.

Every advertisement does this on my computer since my browser displays things differently as I played with the zoom settings, hence the overlapping. However I said "moments", not "minutes." Moments could have been seconds too.

We've got an advert to join the slave register (anyone who knows what that is will know that it is very much inapropriate for this game) on the old (denecaep's) waso thread. I can't see the graphics, but I doubt they are happy and smiley.

No, we don't mind helping people to find love, so long as it's done non-obnoxiously.

I don't get it... what's the problem? Does the text say something I can't read?

That's not coming up as one of our ads, at least based on a text search. I also don't quite understand how you knew it was there if you couldn't see it.

[Valenor]

I found this in the adspace while on my nation page, and I know you've had some trouble with this ad before. Could you find some way to make it go away?

[Vassel]

I don't see any problems with it.

[Valenor]

Well you don't understand see, Max Barry the one who owns the site wants this to be a PG-13 site and this ad breaks the rules, and so it must be removed.

[Vassel]

Oh please.I've seen worse on a PG rated movie.

[New Teccon Olympian Enclave]

LAUGH!

[Kreanoltha]

Yeah. This is tame compared to some PG movies.

[Valenor]

But the admins don't want it here, so if you want to complain then complain to them (if you dare). I assume you haven't seen the wrath of admin or have experienced it, haven't you?

[Sedgistan]

Merged with the existing thread on this topic. Vassel, New Teccon Olympian Enclave, and Kreanoltha - your contributions were not necessary.

Yes, I'm afraid they were necisary. They were pointing out their opinions, exactly as I am doing now. If violet is not max, which she strongly denies, then I'd like to here max's opinion on what is pg-13. It's all well and good saying that everything must be pg-13, but what exactly is pg-13? You can't give a film-style rating, because this isn't a film. You can't give a rating that would be applied to a normal game, because this isn't a game with graphics and realistic blood being shown, unless players have actually posted it, which should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
So, what is pg-13? We need a well-set out list of things that are inappropriate, and things that are appropriate, otherwise some people will not be satisfied.

[Benutanairan]

I swear I've seen this ad 5 times today and several previous times, I dont know why it wont go away.

[Sedgistan]

Yes, I'm afraid they were necisary.

No they weren't. It's already been established that a game admin is not happy with the adverts - that's enough.

So, what is pg-13? We need a well-set out list of things that are inappropriate, and things that are appropriate, otherwise some people will not be satisfied.

It's impossible to write an exhaustive list. This is also not the correct thread for this. Have a look in the Moderation forum, where you'll find that this question has been addressed beforehand.

[SunRawr]

Wow, they just keep coming. I've blocked 25 editions of this thing so far.

A short description should be fine for me to locate them from now on, e.g. "sidebar ad on forum page for Call of Roma with click-for-orgy text".

Got it on the sidebar 3 times in a row while viewing The Jesuit Nations.

[Judepenic empire]

Dont worry,my company is sueing them now.

[Silver Luna Enchantment]

What's flaming? I think your trying to provoke such a thing.

Cog's already handle the official bit of business, but it's also worth noting that it doesn't matter that there is stuff that is worse on the internet. [violet] (that is, the site administrator and second only to Max Barry himself about site policy, in case you weren't aware) has made it quite clear that these ads are unwelcome, and she has requested people report it here. So basically, attacking people who are doing what the admin told them to do? Kinda sorta not a good idea.

I didn't know that. I assume that this site is for those 13 and older therefore I would assume it isn't inappropriate. And if you want me to know why not put it in your banner in red letters next time. Thanks.
