The Gay Test

Sign in to disble this ad
That's the title of the latest offensive banner ad I've seen here. I don't care if it says the heterosexual test or the gay test. It's offensive. Why are you guys accepting ads like this? I'm going to drop my membership if I continue to see this kind of crap.

John Turner said they are working on it.

Do you have a problem with the gay community?

Did you complain about the semi attractive Noisebot girls as well?

Offensive is an objective word.

1. Download Firefox

2. Install the Adblocker Plug-in

3. Never deal with annoying ads and even pages load faster.

dude - I said i didn't care if it said heterosexual test or gay test. Don't make assumptions when you don't know what you're talking about. I happen to be big on civil rights. Go spend your time doing some real work instead of preaching to the converted. I'm talking about ads targeting any type of sexually related themes on a bass forum of which I AM A PAYING MEMBER.

let's relax everybody. like i said in the other 5 threads discussing these offensive banner ads, we are working on it - if you get an inappropriate banner ad, please contact me or any of the other mods or admins and let them know, along with the url of the ad itself, and it will be blocked.

just as an addendum, these ads are being cycled to us via google, and the advertisers are purposefully miscatagorizing their ads. please bear with us and they will all be addressed soon.

in the future please report these ads directly via private message or even the post report function - report a post on the page and then in the post report mention the ad and the url for the ad.

thanks.
