Inappropriate advertisement

@mnhq I am getting this erect penis ad all the time. Please have your advertisers remove it. I don’t want to see it and I don’t want my children looking over my shoulder to see it.

Wtf?!

DaffodilDandilion · 26/02/2022 22:43

What’ve you been looking at for that to pop up in your ads?!

Thatsplentyjack · 26/02/2022 22:45

I think that ads that pop up are because of what you have previously searched.

knittingaddict · 26/02/2022 22:47

I do not see that advert. Ever.

MangoSeason · 26/02/2022 22:48

Hmm. It’s been popping up for a week or so now.

War in Ukraine news sites.
How to stop labradors jumping
Snow season in Victoria
Upgrading minivan
Women’s rights forums in Tasmania
How to add skins to mine raft characters

I guess it’s my eclectic searching then. Ffs.

@MNHQ Giant Disembodied Cock ad still showing. I have taken another screenshot if needed.

Contrary to some PPs belief, I haven’t been searching for Giant Disembodied Cocks lately.

Hi again @MangoSeason, we're so sorry this ad is still (quite literally) popping up.

The blue triangle in the top right corner indicates that it's an Ad Choices ad, meaning it's not something that we've placed on the site. Unfortunately our Tech team have been unable to locate this ad - are you please able to click on the X to see if the advert is from Google or another vendor? That would help us to track it down. You should also be able to tick the box to say you don't (EVER!) want to see this ad again.

MangoSeason · 06/03/2022 07:50

It is from google. I have twice clicked the box and said I don’t want to see it again. It goes away for 2-3 days then returns. @DawnMumsnet

Hi OP

If you click on the advert (you can do this after turning off wifi and data so you don't actually land on the page), you can copy the URL to the advert and send that over to us.

From there, we will be able to block it directly, and prevent it from coming onto the site.
