Easiest way to report an advert for a non-RuneScape/FunOrb game:

• Click the advert and you will be redirected to the game's page
  
• Record the URL that is now in your address bar
  
• Use this URL as the "LANDING URL" under the report

What ads should I report?

Quote

Please now report any adverts which advertise games other than RuneScape or FunOrb. This includes anything from single player games to much larger games such as WoW.

Jagex has expressed disapproval of fansites showing ads selling Runescape gold for money, and Tip.It has ALWAYS tried to comply with this policy - please DO report such ads and we will take action ASAP. However, the Tip.It website owner has advised us that ads for other games (such as WOW) are not breaking our rules.

All of the Tip.It team are doing the best they can. It is not easy to kick all those unwanted ads. We tested a lot of advertising networks but they are not as good as Google.
The problem is that Google has a limit on the sites that we can ban. When we reached that limit, more than one year ago, we decided to change our policy.

Last year we had no problem:
we banned every gold seller site, pop-up (at least we remove all ads using popups) .. we removed every unwanted ad. Today we we are less restrictive because Google Adsense (and the other networks) keep Tip.it alive, so we have to continue to use them. So we try to ban ads of sites selling RS gold , pornograpy and nudity, tobacco, alcohol, weapons, extreme animations, popups and layers.
We have to keep and to show other mmorpg's gold sellers and meeting sites (because of limitation of sites that we can ban). I'm sorry but actually we have no choice. We are still working on this problem too.

Anyway, we always pay attention to the Jagex rules.

So don't worry, go on and send us your unwanted ad and we can try to do our best to ban them from our site.

Thx to all.

I made an account on this website just so i could bring this to your attention. I use this site often, it is an invaluable tool, i certainly don't want someone tarnishing the name for profit. Look around on Ebay. Just type "Runescape" and you will find a few.

MY LOCATION: UK
REASON: Constantly popping up at EVERY single new page i load on Tip.it. Just one after the other. I've noticed that over the past few months they have just become worse and worse. Now they're near intolerable. I've used Tip.it for several years, but this is driving me to consider other help sites. Please tell me if something can be done about it. (OMG! I got a popup just previewing this post! Arghhh!)
