    Not sure about the porn stuff but others have seen some stuff that they feel doesn't belong.

    I don't see the ad...
    But...
    Any chance you were looking at the "Friday is metalporn day?" on the PM forum prior to seeing the ad?

    I do recall one of the PCGS Mods (Don Willis possibly?) stating that they can choose to block certain ads and most likely with people complaining they'll look into it and block the negative ads. At least I hope they would, it's definitely not classy for any respectable business to have porn ads on their page.
  • LOL ray, the yn's already kow the best porn sites, i know i would have if i had access to a computer when i was 12 !

  • How do you turn the banner ads back on? image
  • <<How do you turn the banner ads back on?>>

    If you mean, how do you turn them backon after blocking them, Id edit that post out really quick.

    PCGS said they would nuke anyone caught blocking ads.

  • Ok, so apparently I missed the notification from PCGS not to block ads on the forums... anyone have a link? Hopefully I won't get bammed while I try to figure out how to disable the filtering while I'm on the forums, but not elsewhere...

    They have no way of knowing that you are doing it unless you admit to it.

    I find it interesting that while looking at this thread, there are NO ads whatsoever, just an empty white box.

    I don't recall PCGS saying they will ban anyone blocking them, I do recall them saying not to start any more threads about it, though.

    That's not correct.. You cannot start a thread explaining how to block the ads.

    There is no way for PCGS to tell who blocking ads..

    Don Willis said himself that blocking ads is grounds to ban members. As is starting threads telling how to block them.

    I know PCGS cant see what Im blocking or not blocking, but its what was said.

  • I can understand the need for them as this site cost a lot to run, I wish they were not so aggressive and deceiving.

    I belong to a Hot Pepper Forum and they use titles like "Pepper Porn" and the such to show photos of there plants and pods. I was there just before coming here so it pick-up on that and showed me real porn, that's the problem with these programs their B&W with no Gray Areas at all...

    Another was on the forum directory and looked like part of the standard page and told me I had a PM in my in-box, when I clicked it I was off to some flashy site that would not let me go so I had to close the browser and start new...

    I'm hoping CU will rethink the ads and go with a less aggressive ad format...

    I can't figure out why this thread ONLY has no banner ads. I went to the testing forum and started a bunch of threads using the same words and all got banner ads....--Jerry

    UPDATE: took a while but now all posts with the word "porn" in the topic don't get banner adds.

    So (tongue in cheek) if you don't like banner adds just ad "porn" to each of your posts.

    "Grades back, a little disappointed (but I've got porn)"

    "Check out this toner, it's coin porn"

    "This ebay seller say his coin is real, right, so is porn"

    "BST transaction gone awry--guy wrapped coins in porn"


    ok. Just to be clear, I'm joking. --Jerry

    I was thinking the same thing since I don't usually notice them--but the ads are text only on my screen. I'm guessing the OP had to click on the banner to get the necked girls...
