Description of problem
Hi everyone,I have been receiving many complaints about malicious advertisements from members of the forum I moderate. I have read through some other posts which also highlight this problem however none of them gave me an answer that would help solve this problem.
I understand that the Forumotion team is reluctant to remove all ads, which is fair since it is a form of income, however, I would like to point out that you do have the choice of which advertising service to use.
No other website I visit which contains advertisements ever displays anything malicious or illegal. However, a large portion of the advertisements that are displayed on the forums here are indeed malicious.
Not only is this annoying (e.g. forced vibrations of mobile devices) but is also deterring new members who do not run ad-block from using our forums.
I hope you understand what I am trying to point out here, there are many ways to go about fixing this problem, and I really hope that this can be fixed.
Thank you for your time
~Mat
