The VG Resource

As far as I know, most ads that you get will be related to or associated with websites that you visit. I'm getting a whole heap of Google Chrome ads, probably because I (and my family) use Google a lot.

Cookies store information of where you go. If you go for example to a porn related site, you have more chance of getting porn related ads then others who dont.

Tons of addons that prevent tracking cookies being added to your browser helps mitigate that kind of thing

How's your browser history?

It's totally clean of what you are implying.
I'm not into that kind of stuff, and I doubt my Dad is.
I have looked up anatomy lesson stuff for spriting though, which may have caused it.

This discussion has gone on way too long without mentioning one very important point. Yes, the sites you visit and the things you search for can and will be tracked by advertisers via cookies. These cookies are used to deliver targeted advertising from some networks, like Google and Facebook. However, not every advertiser has access to all of that information and not every campaign uses it. The fact that you are seeing more mature than usual ads on tSR is not necessarily an indication that you or someone who has access to your computer has been looking at adult material. Chances are, whatever advertiser is currently running the campaign that we're showing just has that ad in their rotation. It's as simple as that.

I'm not sure if this is just me, but



I take it this is an add for the main sight, but I get this instead
I get the same image in IE ( I use Chrome)

That's due to some advertisements being fails and their coding being all screwed up and incorrect, so it just shows a part of the main site for no reason.

It's a common minior issue.

I'm not sure what your policy on mature content in advertisement is here, but


I wasn't sure if they were just using colorful language to entice clicks, so I clicked and read the terms of service. Here is an excerpt.

"Certain portions of our Website and some of our games may contain mature contents not suitable for anyone younger than 18 years of age. We will require that you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older to access such content. If you enter any portion of the Website which is intended for or is marked for mature audiences only,"

Sounds like perhaps pornography lies beyond the signup here. Is this kind of ad a problem here?

Spoiler

So I would like to report this ad for being too mature for tSR's younger users.

Zad reported this very same ad. I think as long as people are smart enough to not sign up I guess?
I mean, you can't see anything off-hand, so.

Not sure if it's a glitch but lately the only ad I'm seeing is a little gold star, like in the bottom right of the ad space. (Looks a bit like a bookmark/favourites star).

The link address is: http://www.yashi.com/?utm_source=starico...iadnetwork if that helps.

I've noticed it this morning, too.
The star is "watermarking" about all of the ads I get and sometimes somehow no ad is loaded and thus only the star is visible.

I've been getting a weird half-transparent bar at the bottom of the tSR/tMR/tTR/tSoR main pages. On the left there's a thing that says "Roll Over To View", if I roll over it it fills the entire left side of the page with a massive bar that says "Ads by yashi". If it's the first time that I've visited the site in that browser session, the big bar comes up right away.

This is also only since this morning.

This topic is for reporting things that aren't supposed to be there.

That Ads by Yashi bar just popped out of nowhere on one of the resources. I couldn't access the sidebar anymore.

I've seen all these things too and they don't hurt anything.
Let's try to keep reporting ads to mostly offensive or adult material or ads that are really messing up stuff.
Try refreshing? I didn't check but there may be a close button? IDK.
