I can ignore most of the ads, but is there any way of removing the really spammy ones? Hopefully screenshot is attached.

Oh that is not pretty, is it? We're sorry about that sullying your screen, and will investigate.

I also have been badgered by the same ad.
I'm on a Mac using Safari.

Hi,
I cannot tell from the screenshot what advertiser it is, can you let me know so I can block them, even better if you can send me the click link if possible - also please click on the blue icon and report the ad as not interested in it, that way at least it will stop showing up for you.

I had this one too

PanPanPanPing · 29/03/2018 06:39

Angie. I've had it too, off and on over the last few days. I'm not clicking on anything (Grin), but I can just about read the name of the advertiser, which is just under the wording CLICK HERE and it says ©PrizesWorld.

AngieMumsnet · 29/03/2018 10:29

Thanks all - I have checked our rules and can confirm all spammy ads like this are already blocked and prize world is not coming up as an advertiser - if any of you see it again can you please click on it and send me the www. link you see in your address bar so I can zap it!

I am also trying to find it.
Thanks so much.

I just had it again. I'm loathe to click on such a dodgy looking ad to be honest Confused

AngieMumsnet · 29/03/2018 11:32

clownfaces - I understand - just click the blue ad choice icon and get rid of it that way for now.

Thanks

I tried to take one for the team by clicking on it, on my laptop, but nothing happened. I wonder whether I've unleashed some severe nastiness on my laptop Hmm

Hence I am now posting from my iPad.

pan that doesn't sound good!
I've only seen it the once. No more since.

PinkBuffalo · 29/03/2018 21:24

Damn! Spoke to soon! Popped up briefly again. Angry

FlissMumsnet · 30/03/2018 13:49

Sounds like this one's a persistent little thing - we'll let Angie know it's still rearing it's annoying head

AngieMumsnet · 30/03/2018 15:33

So annoying as I can never see it and all our systems are blocked to take these spammy ads, have you clicked on the ad choice icon and reported it?

PanPanPanPing · 30/03/2018 16:58

It might be worth MNHQ having a few devices not connected to 'the system', so that you can see what people are complaining about. After all, if you sell ad space to the likes of AdChoices, then surely you need to see the problems that your members are experiencing - without your system blocking them in the first place? Hmm
