  • inappropriate advertisement!

    I was on Poly tonight and I saw this ad in the top right...

    "Beat the Bad Rapper"

    and you have to hit this guy with a baseball bat and you get a "FREE RING TONE"

    I don't think this ad is appropriate for this family site

    I still have the window open if you need more information about the ad...

        it's not about my personal tastes


        I am just bringing this to Markos and Dan's attention and they can make a decision


        I just created this thread because there was a similar ad that faded glory was talking about but he did not take a screenshot or have the specifics about it...

              Hi Sava.

              Quoting from an earlier post of mine, indeed, from the other thread you mention:

              With the advertising agencies we have affiliated Apolyton with, we have elected to allow them to auto-select what ads go into our campaigns based on a pre-selected preference list. Unfortunately, some ads get categorized incorrectly -- even inappropriately -- and we have to go in and manually remove them from the rotation.

              [P]lease provide the link to which the ad points.
              We'll investigate this ad further from there.

                  Dan: http://www.ringaza.com/index.php?sid=CD4058

                  Is that what you mean? That is the site I got sent to when I "beat the rapper"... I couldn't get any other information from the ad. I still have the window open if you could explain to me a different way to get information from the ad. I tried right-click but that yielded nothing.

                  Imran: you are totally missing the point (as usual)... it is not about my personal tastes... and yes, as I said, I think this ad is inappropriate for this family site... i.e. Markos and Dan have decided what kind of site Apolyton is, not me, meaning my personal tastes on what advertising to allow has nothing to do with this... I am bringing this to their attention so they can make the call.

                    What's wrong with giving the impression to the next generation that it's fine to beat big bad rappers with baseballs bats?
