What's with the GOP Banners?

Sign in to disble this ad
Is anyone else getting these? Every banner ad on the site, top and side, is an ad calling Sen. Barack Obama a "stooge" or implying that he's a communist and/or terrorist sympathizer.
"Paid for by the Republican National Committee."

Kinda bugging me a little bit, as I thought TB was a politically neutral place.

TB is. The advertisers are not. They are generated ads. PM a mod.

I'm just curious as to what the mods can do - I don't have any familiarity with the process

This is a site issue (or perceived issue), should be posted in the forum issues/usage section anyway.

It's ads which help foot the bill for this site. Don't worry so much about it.

I complained about them and got an infraction... I guess you're supposed to PM the mods.

JT was aware of it, but they're still here. I don't know how easy they are to get rid of...
