Awful imagery in ads

Why are these sorts of images allowed in your advertising space? I'm not a child but I don't want to see this: horror images are not for mainstream viewing. It's on every thread I'm on,for the last few weeks and is triggering. Please reconsider your strategies, many thanks

This is why I use an ad blocker.

Hi OP

We're really sorry for the inconvenience here.
We're in the process of blocking these but unfortunately, they continue to get through. If you're able, please could you provide us with a link to the advert?

chocopuffs · 13/02/2023 22:07

I keep seeing these too and totally agree OP, but I'm glad it's not just me.

HadEnoughOfBears · 13/02/2023 22:09

I keep getting those exact ones but I have no idea how to do a link

Please tell us which one you use. I had one for a while but then it just stopped working when I updated the software generally. I couldn’t remember what the ad blocker was so now I am plagued by them. I HATE them.

I use Adblock Plus, it's a browser

BeautifulDayintheneighbourhood · 14/02/2023 09:01

Thank you. Is it free?

Hi @ZoChan and everyone else who's flagged these adverts to us. This is just to let you know that we've blocked them from appearing by now.

Hopefully that's the end of them but please let us know if any others crop up.

Thanks again for bearing with us.

Can we ask what device and browser you're using to access the site?

MiltonRoad · 14/02/2023 18:06

iPhone se and in the app ;)

Thank you! Can you let us know where on the site you were when you saw it, or is it everywhere? Also we know it's a pain, but if you could get us the link to the ad it would be a big help. We really are blocking it, so it's really sneaky. Sorry, folks.
