While I was on the forum today I was getting a "We don't like young men" ad with questionably dressed ladies on the ad. It was showing up every other page load. Also this was on my work PC which blocks any kind of "questionable" sites. Wondering if TB has a bug or are you allowing non music related ad's?

We do allow non-music ads, as over half of our ad inventory is filled by Google Adsense. If you can provide the company name or click-through URL of the ad, we can block it. All dating/relationship ads are supposed to be blocked automatically.

Thanks Jamie. I've blocked it, but it may take an hour or so since ads are cached. Not sure why this was allowed to slip through when we have a category block on dating. I think sometimes advertisers intentionally mis-categorize their ads, and it takes Google a little while to catch it (probably after enough publishers report it).
