Hi MNHQ

I've just had an ad for StandUpGirl appear on one of the threads I'm reading which is a revolting evangelical pro-life site.

Please could you review your advertisers or make sure whoever supplies them does so that this type of crap doesn't appear on your site?

I will send a screenshot if you tell me where to send it.

Hi there everyone,

We're really sorry to hear about this, and agree it's not on. We're flagging it to our ads team now.

In the meantime, if anyone sees it, if you could please click on the link and copy and paste the URL it takes you to onto this thread, that'd be very helpful.

Hey guys, thanks for raising this. We've found some of the ads you mentioned in the iOS Talk app and blocked them.

We've blocked standupgirl.com - so they won't be able to list adverts with us again.

@OrchidInTheSun

Is there not a kind of generic block you can put on types of ads? Like not accepting gun ads or whatever.

We block certain words and phrases but sometimes, these advertisements are disguised as something else entirely... which means our systems won't pick it up and we have to manually block it. It's really frustrating (we understand) but we will continue to block as soon as we're aware.
