Adsense Gave Us A Warning

I just got the email today that basically said to remove all ads from pages containing any of the following:

• erotic stories or descriptions of sexual acts
• sexual jokes
• erotic or sexual forums
• sexual or profane terms in the URL
• crude language or excessive amounts of profanity

So we're in some deep shit, since I'm not a fan of restricting your language (the nudity will have to go, though, for those of you posting in the thread in The Flood). We have 3 days to resolve the issue or they'll stop serving us ads and leave us up a creek.

I suppose I'll start looking for some alternatives while thinking about how to get out of this jam.

EDIT: Guys, I need everyone to start reporting posts that contain nudity and porn. You won't be banned for the content that is reported, but the images and links need to be taken out.

EDIT: I've disabled thread replies from being viewed by guests. This should help us keep our advertisements; just make sure to make the OP relatively clean, guys.

So what does this mean for Anarchy?

Nothing. I'll just not serve ads for that forum.

Hmmm I've used AdSense a lot for stuff and I never knew this scenario was possible.

Yup. Here's the page that got us, if you can believe it:

Can't we just use a different ad service?

So regular Bungie rules in the forums? Though, with Flood more laxxed than the rest of the site. Anarchy weekend will keep the no rules policy, obvs.

Can't we just use a different ad service?

Yeah, I'm looking into it now. Apparently Adsense is known for being picky like this, though this is the first time I've been called out by them.

They chose that?

The Flood is gonna have a shitstorm if they have to give up profanity and certain innuendo.

I've found an alternative that I think will work. They're harder to get into, as they require 50,000 page views per month to even be considered, but we've got over 700,000 so far this month so I think we're OK.

Adult content and adult content links will have to go outside of Anarchy (which will not have ads), so no more spoilered porn. They're not specific on the language requirements, but they don't like excessively crude or racist language, so that'll probably be something I start looking at.

Gasai is gonna throw a fit.

He'll get over it. We need ads to support the site.

Well shit .-.

Oh dear...does this mean my literary arts will have to be removed?

Yes.

Does this mean no more cursing? That is part of my vocabulary though :/

I guess we will have to find alternatives.

How the *dolphin noise* are ya Cheat?

It says "excessive vulgar language" is restricted, so as long as it's not too bad and you're not just throwing them around like a maniac, it should be OK.

That's really silly.

It works a bit differently than Adsense (which also bans bad language). Advertisers bid on us for a slot to put their ad up. Since we're pretty popular in terms of page views, I'd say we should do alright so long as we are accepted and abide by their rules.

I can only imagine how well people will take this.

Well we could go with whatever ad agency 4chan uses. I mean if people don't mind seeing ads for dragon dildos and all.

What thread was that?

Wow, what a bunch of pricks. Bet they're some libtard group hell-bent of censoring the internet. Why the flib-flab does our cursing and pictures bother them so dingly-gosh-do much?

And what was the flam-flam thread that got us?

Something about spitting or swallowing. I'm trying to clean out the really bad threads so we don't get ad nuked.
