June 1, 200620 yr I've seen a lot of advertisements - Im talking about the Google Adwords Add on the top of the forum - for websites offering things that are against Jagex rules. As a 'clean' fansite/ forum, you cannot allow that. I have seen similar threads like this, where admins point out that they cannot control what content is displayed in those ads. That is not completely true. I use Google Adwords on my own website as well, and they give you the option to block adds from sertain sites. Maybe worth a try? - Agshlee 99/99 Mage - Achieved 23/07/200799/99 Ranged - Achieved 20/12/200793/99 Defence

I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theatersArd Choille says (11:41 PM):I wouldn't dare tell you what to do m'dear
June 2, 200620 yr I hate that link.....I used to use Google Adsense and that feature can be disabled. I'm not sure as it would be a very wise decision as you probably get a lot of other income from companies wishing to advertise on this site. Perhaps someone needs to get the calculator out to work out how much income comes from those private advertisements. In the past I have PMed the urls of bad google adverts to Sunli who usually got them swiftly removed but perhaps something could be added to the "feedback form" on the tip.it website? add something to the 'category' drop down to say "Bad Advert". Perhaps that would work better than the thread on the actual boards. You could add a little report icon next to or below the advert box which would redirect to the form page?
