Ads now have sound and are basically links to viruses and scams? Is this Google Adsense or something new?

Like, this ad I have right now, seriously?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Pretty sure we've had some of the suspicious ads for a while now. They've popped up now and then for me at least.

Almost always, with moderation
Adsense dropped us.

Yeah, that's crossing a line. I might have to enable my adblock again, if this gets worse.

You're better off posting in this Septagon btw, more chance of Cheat reading it.
There is no need to enable ad blocker. Just don't click the ads and I'm sure cheat will get it sorted out soon.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
Adsense dropped us.
So....time to turn the profanity filters off?

Today, because too many people were clicking the ads, although that wasn't the case. They did it because of some shady stuff, Cheat will make a thread later on about it.

Yeah, I've disabled the video ads for this new service, but I can't really afford to turn them off completely (BTW, you really should have posted this in Septagon because I am only just now seeing it).

I'll make a post about this whole stupid mess later, but right now I am still looking into saving our site from drowning.

They never gave a valid reason, Cheat suspects some shady reasons.

Yeah, fu­ck all this. I'm enabling adult ads from this new ad server (we should...should be able to make about 70% of what we did through adsense) and we will loosen the ropes on all you freaks.

Not just yet, though; I need to wait and see if Google permabans me or not. I also need to talk with Isara and think about what we're going to do long term, and what we want our images as a site and a community to be.

I'm confused. NeoGAF uses Adsense and that site has plenty of profanity and nsfw threads.

You figure it out, because I have no idea and neither do hundreds of other site owners who got the shaft.

Hello,

With our advertising programs we strive to create an online ecosystem that benefits publishers, advertisers, and users. For this reason we sometimes have to take action against accounts that show behavior towards users or advertisers that may negatively impact how the ecosystem is perceived. In your case, we have detected invalid activity on your AdSense account and as a result it has been disabled.

We are limited in the amount of information we can provide about your specific violation. We understand that you may want more information about your account activity. However, in order to protect our proprietary detection systems, we are unable to provide further details.

In some cases publishers can make significant changes to correct the violation and are willing to comply with the AdSense program policies. For this reason, we offer an appeal process as an opportunity to work with you to resolve the issue. Please be sure to provide a complete analysis of your traffic or other reasons that may have generated invalid activity in your appeal. Submit your appeal using this form and we will follow up accordingly. Before submission, please review the list of the top reasons for account closure.

Thanks for your understanding.

This slap in the face has nothing to do with content. They think we have been clicking ads to generate money for the site maliciously.

It's bullshit, but we can't do anything about it. I can tell you that if this sticks, I am out over $200.

Could it be because of all of those ad people that generate a lot of guests? Maybe the numerous spikes of guests and ad revenue triggered something.
