Dragontotem Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Yes, as title sais, when/if you have something to whine about illegal ads which are over tip.it forums and main site. I made this because people seems NOT to look forum before posting, as iv seen 3 topics about "why's there illegal ads?", and people probably will continue doing that, so.. If we sum all that up that we might get (i mean those ad threads), it would be hell a lot of threads whineing about same subject. So, this is a place to discuss about those ads kay? :D Ps. whenever that ad-issue is solved, feel free to delete this thread.

aquariusman Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I was just wondering about that too. I don't mean to seem like I doubt Tip.It, but you guys say you uphold the Rules of Runescape, yet this site technically encourages the breaking of rules, with the illegal ads promoting realworld item trading and what not. I really am quite close to reporting Tip.It to Jagex, but only if nothing is done and something happens to push me, such asthis thread being locked. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

You're an idiot. :roll: Have a look down the bottom of the ad. It quotes "Ads by Google." GO and report Google to Jagex, their the ones who have the ads promoting these sites.

Dragontotem Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yes, ads are by google, but as tip it uses google as advertised (at least i think, cos it seems like it to me, correct me if i am wrong), they should be able to disable illegal ads, but im not sure if they can? another two thoughts from me :roll: [/url]">[4Th in Finland to achieve 99 mining. 3Rd of June 2007]Pixels make me horny.

darkblade986 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Unfortunately, all these sites advertising on google selling gold make getting legitamite ads becoming almost impossible. What Jagex needs to do is get in touch with google and have them remove ALL sites that have to do with selling gold. Jagex can then sue those sites and probably get a nice profit out of it... don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayjest Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Is there a way of creating a thread that only mods can read, but anyone can post to and see it exists? Then maybe we can make a note of the illegal sites we see advertised, and once a week a mod reports them to Jagex, so Jagex can shut them down? May be a tad difficult, as if we can't read it, we can't see what's already posted. I just don't want us to get accused of advertising a giant list of illegal sites.

Albosky Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 If you folks look at the google ads you will see this at the bottom corner "Advertise on this site" That added to the fact that google "Spiders" the forum looking for keywords to better target the ads to the audience, it will remain a huge problem. Silverion has blocked literally HUNDREDS of these urls from being displayed, but these sites have many urls, and they change them quite often and resubmit their url to Google, which just starts the cycle over. Silverion owns the tip.it network and only he can remove the ads, this takes time as he also lives a full time life outside the internet. If so many of our users didnt use such measures as Adblockers, Flash blockers, etc.. we may have been able to just drop Google completely, but many of you fail to realize that without those Ads, Tip.it could not remain online. We dont use some of the tactics that other sites do by holding "donation drives", or sell "premium memberships", yet people still take for granted that running these dedicated servers is not free..... If even HALF of our active users donated $1 to Silverion through paypal , he could probably remove the ads completleyfor a pretty good amount of time. Yet I dont see that happening. If you have any ideas on how to pay for these servers without running Google Adsense, I'm all ears.
