Was just reading a thread on here and next thing my browser takes me to some other website but luckily it was blocked by my ISP. Can't remember the exact URL but I think it had dollar in the URL.

The Ad Reporting Thread
- Thread starter Cerium
- Start date
Ugh... Disney again. You know what we need? An ad system like The Something Awful forums. Have all the ads for a time period rotate in and out, with the ability to browse all ads. That way we can pinpoint exactly which ad is being a cobknobbler and strike it from the list. May be a bit hard considering we would have to have far more ads in lieu of the paid services offered by SA that offset the cost, but hey...
YO, the new overlay ads that pop out while you're reading or scrolling have got to go, lads.
This shit is awful and I'm giving it a couple more days before i enable adblock. Am I browsing for torrents here or what?

Lololol i first thought that said "CHADS" and assumed it must be an incel thing.
It's annoying enough that one of my e-mails gets spammed to shit with GOP crap from some "think tank" that bought e-mail lists, reporting these ads on the ad when I can but it doesn't seem to really work too well. Probably not breaking rules or anything but still fucking annoying to keep seeing.
Just got hijacked by this one:

Fake McAfee ad saying my license has expired. Firefox on a laptop.

I was sitting on a page for awhile and then this series of redirects happened (copied this from browser history). The one at the bottom then tried to get me to install a Flash plugin (don't know if it was going to be legit or malware). I'm running Safari on a MacBook running Mojave.

What is with these floating ads? They're so annoying and obtrusive and getting more frequent. Needs to be fixed ASAP

I just got a redirect ad: https://m.net-dq22.stream/claim/ytv...BFpoJyEUWXCCQTaHiSYmXHh11mope691xJlGYL6ZlGJg#
Another one on edge redirecting to shite:
Code:

Because this crap wasn't happening all the time until recently (at least not for me). Look at that bullsh*t third URL below. Ffffffffffff.
Can't ad scripts be sandboxed to make this redirect BS impossible?
Mac OS / Safari

I got a similar redirect to the post above. Also on OSX/Safari. Almost exactly the same path of redirects.
I was automatically being redirect to this site just now while on my Android Phone and I'm on Chrome.

I'm beginning to suspect this advertising is going entirely to keikaku (translators note: "keikaku" means "plan").

First time it's happened to me. I was reading a thread, about halfway down and suddenly I get redirected here https://exclusiverewards6.online/fe...6BxERoOEtr-VTCXYKN2C30dwecwe4Rt2tNAXZnKc0aG1b
A little bit upset really

Same here, and you can't get back to the thread you were reading on that tab...
I keep getting an ad today that crawls over the right side of my mobile screen. I can exit out of it easily enough, but every time it happens I have significant issues getting many buttons to work until I refresh, especially quoting and submitting posts.

Just got this one again. It appears to be a phishing scam.
It redirects to this page and the only way back is to close the tab.

What are we doing here?
I got one in this very thread trying to report these horrible ads:

I was just finna say that. Lol
I have an ad glaring at me right now as I type. If I see this stupid and obnoxious kitchenware again... lol
In addition to the frying pan ads on mobile, that actually slide over with other ads above them, blocking multiple rows of text, I'm now noticing that some of them, such as a Best Buy ad I just got, can't be dismissed.
This is beyond intrusive, and I find it hard to believe that ads that permanently cover a static portion of the screen can't be simply disabled, though I'm sure those ads pay significantly more than the standard header and footer ads.
Are these being done away with, soon? Because I feel like I'm browsing a tabloid site now.

Before the site redesign I was getting redirects everyday. I don't know how though because there was a topic saying how resetera had employed a platinum plus preferred ad platform that had humans screening every ad in it?
But today I'm reporting a lack of ads. Ever since the redesign no ads show up but now I have the huge banner at the bottom about subbing to the site. Hell, Id prefer ads over that thing because scrolling to the bottom of a page only to have to scroll up a ton to see the bottom post is a hair pulling experience.

I had just left a thread open on my phone and out of the corner of my eye I saw an ad take the entire window over. Thankfully, the URL I was redirected to apparently broke when presented with my IPv6 so I only saw an error message.
This is the second or third time it has happened.

I think the button to report ads should be directly under the ad and not completely to the left of the page. Why is the report link so far away from the ad?
Redirect ad, on android here

I've gotten two different redirect ads while simply looking at a random thread without touching anything on Android Chrome. Unfortunately it does a pop-up AND somehow completely deletes the history for the tab, so I can't even see what caused it, and you can't go back, and it's hard to close or find info on since you have to kill it. I don't even know how that's possible to delete the tab history.
I'm getting notifications from Safari on Mac OS that the Resetera tab is using "significant energy". The page also twitches up and down every 15 to 30 seconds, presumably loading a new ad. Unpleasant.
On mobile, was in the best friends cancellation thread and was hijacked to some amazon gift card "contest" that i couldnt get back from
