The Ad Reporting Thread

Your ad agency is mistaken. I just got the same damned ad pointing at the same stupid URL, and a second time while trying to write up my report:
I have just had a redirect pop-up appear. Basically this, but personalized with my IP address and my ISP:
I am using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10, on my laptop. I do not have adblock enabled.
The url for the redirect was "consumerga.icu".

Just had 2 redirects in a row on mobile.
1 with a popup referencing my phone provider and ip. The second to a site/ad to win a car.
Last night, I had a similar redirect on my PC, referencing a new great offer from my isp. I turned on my adblocker to avoid further redirects. I'd rather have my adblocker off on Era but not if these things continue happening.
In both cases I was using Chrome.

Been basically impossible to browse on mobile for the past few days; constantly being redirected to other sites that often force me to close apps or even restart my phone.
Every fucking day.Constant redirects to extravagantinwardness.
Including while attempting to post this, FFS.
Recently switched from iPhone (no issues) to Pixel. Getting redirected all the time now. My impression is that it's not safe to browse this site without ad blocker on, and any policy that bans ad blockers while resetera is compromised is setting users up to be compromised.
So, if you have ads enabled on your account, are you getting these redirects too?

I've been browsing on desktop today without any problems, but yes in the past week I have been getting redirects on mobile.
The steps we took did seem to reduce the problem a lot over the weekend, but again the end of the year is peak season for this stuff -- stamping out the bad ads as they slip in is an ongoing effort. It takes continuous work. There isn't a silver bullet.
Got redirected just now to

For the record we've never banned ad blockers. That's never been a policy here.
Thank you for the information about the device -- it would seem North American Android users are getting the worst of it.
I hadn't run into any ads since your response here until a few minutes ago.
I've been redirected multiple times in the past few minutes to (on chrome, Android):
--i can't seem to post it without it putting in the link...I added a "(don't click) to both sides of the url after noticing.

The site is currently unusable on Desktop/Chrome. Keep getting redirected to a phony Verizon prize page.
I just got redirected twice to a popup for the mobilehappycustomers.club a few mins ago. The second of which was during my first attempt to report it.
Cerium thanks for the heads up, didn't know this thread was a thing. Also getting this Verizon giveaway thing on Chrome for WIndows. Screenshot below.
Sometimes it happens so often I cant even browse the site. I have to close all my tabs to get away from it just for it to happen again. I get the Rogers one too. Assuming its for whatever carrier you have a lot of the time. Im on an S10+. Super annoying.

I've already sent an email about this along with the other recent reports. Thanks again.
It's happening again, redirects to:
Another site I visit is also getting the same redirects, so it isn't just Era, probably the whole advertising platform.

I literally got a redirect on the ad reporting thread. Do you think its possible to not have ads on this thread specifically so we can at least report them without having to fight our browsers?? Im getting redirects both on chrome for mobile and desktop.
redirect keeps happening on desktop. Chrome browser, Windows 10.

Just get a different ad company already. Finally pushed me over the edge to get an ad blocker after 20 years of the interwebs. I've always felt seeing ads was a fair trade off for free content, but I just couldn't take it anymore.
Yes, this started today for me too.
AdBlocker is now flagging this website on both mobile and desktop. No more whitelist for ResetEra. Not swapping back, this is ludicrous. We can't trust the staff here to maintain basic security with their ads, and I'm not taking the risk any more.
