To think that MN shouldn’t be allowing alcohol adverts on its alcohol support board?

Just that really. Surrounded by posts of people struggling to cling onto sobriety or coping with family members, there is an ad pic of a happy lady holding a glass of red wine. If you click on the ad, you can get 30% off booze from Naked Wines.

Come on MN, you can do better than that??!!!

I haven't been on that board but I imagine the adverts are related to the individual user, data about what sites you visit and what you search for are personalised to show you "relevant" adverts unless you opt out.

You need to post this in Site Stuff.

I have reported this thread to MNHQ so they will see your concerns, @AFitOfTheVapours - entirely valid concerns, I think!

I've been seeing that ad all day. Nothing to do with what I normally look for, I don't buy alcohol online at all.

That is fucking atrocious! MN, sort it out!

AFitOfTheVapours · 08/07/2020 13:31

Thanks everyone. I reported it too, so they should get the message!😆

Hi there,
Thanks for drawing our attention to this SDTG and AFit, we're going to see what can be done about that. We've moved the thread to Site Stuff to keep an eye on it.
