-----------------UPDATE CASE IS SOLVED THX EVERYONE----------------
The Genie,
I want to really thank you for taking my complaint of indecent,
adult/*** oriented advertising on your site so seriously. As soon as i
received your response stating that you were not aware of the ads on the
site and that you had already pulled one set of ads off, I went on
cheatingdome, and sure enough, there were blank boxes with a digital
indicator in the corner signaling that image has been removed. I have
checked the site, as you had asked me to, for 4 days and there is nothing
that is inappropriate for a 10 yr old or any young kid. I REALLY thank you
for taking the matter seriously and actually doing something about it!
You are a man of your word, with a truly, truly honorable character.
cheatingdome.com will be #1 in our home now.

Sincerely,
Andrew Sussmann
-----------------UPDATE CASE IS SOLVED THX EVERYONE----------------



Can you please surf the main site www.cheatingdome.com and check if you see any adult related ads ? I got a message from a visitor today. If you see this please make a screenshot and send it to me...

--------------------
Cheating Dome is used by countless tens of thousands, perhaps half a
million or more video game players, perhaps even more. Many - perhaps half
that number - are kids under the age of 16, including my 10 year old son.
Im really shocked that you would have constant ads displayed on your site,
promoting and inviting online *** sites, intimate & ***aul dating services,
with almost nude pictures of women all over it. Im not a prude in any way
or form, but you MUST know that probably half your viewers are kids! 10, 12,
14 year olds! maybe even less! I'm unfortunately going to have to put a
block on you cheatingdome site to protect my son from ***ual ads that cover
half the screen when all he wants to do is look up some game codes.
Don't get me wrong, your site is great. its a great reference for all
I, or my son needs to know. But knowing that your site caters to so many
young, even preteen kids, you have a moral obligation to keeps ads like that
off your site. I'm sure you could pick and choose all the ads you could
display. you DONT need those types of ads on your site.

Sincerely,
Andrew Sussman

I'm not in the USA Genie, but yeah, some came up on my computer. They weren't like pr0n sites, just ads for those date sites, asking for your age and gender etc.

And Genie think you can take out pop-ups. They get annoying. and I don't search Gold since it herts my eyes.
Nitrous
03-09-2006, 04:23 PM
if Gold herts your eyes then you have problems.... mentally probably

The current banner advertisers I use really work on my nerves.

03-09-2006, 08:56 PM
The Banner adds you can keep there nothing specail. But I don't like seeing all of the banners on the side.

03-09-2006, 08:58 PM
I have been looking around and I haven't seen anything, but stupid parental controls where the ads should be. :mad: I hate parental controls!

Oh my, this is very serious indeed.
We don't see these Adds Genie, all we get is innocent Dutch banners that aren't any harm to younger kids.

What's gonna happen Genie? Can you inform me on this?

Maybe showing animals climbing on top of each other for a good time is a bit dodgy too.

O_o

Hell what can i do about it

I was trying to post that about 20 minutes ago but my PC is running awful atm so I didn't.

'Tis a bit strange alright. People visiting for the first time wouldn't get the best impression. Hahah

03-10-2006, 06:37 PM

Soba
03-10-2006, 07:34 PM
O.o Yeah..I get them.

They're everywhere!! D:
MORSN417
03-10-2006, 08:22 PM
The "True", with a line under the U, is one of the most common I see. There everywhere.
Nanaki
03-10-2006, 08:26 PM
Is there anything that can be done about them?
Nitrous
03-10-2006, 08:57 PM
That last one dayleJ posted was on my page but at the bottom of it, Genie I say remove them, it's not what c/d is about! Oh and did ya read my PM you might wanna consider it.

For everyone else it's this http://shop.game.net/getintogame/ A big retail game company here in the UK and the rest of the EU and Genie will recieve money through that.
Nanaki
03-10-2006, 09:19 PM
looks quite interesting Nitrous
Kio-oh-ki
03-11-2006, 12:31 PM
Hmmmm, every time I go to C/D I get the same ad every time, all I get is some stupid ad sayin "Who is Eminem's Daughter."
Nova
03-11-2006, 05:52 PM
Genie you should only have video games ads
Peppage
03-11-2006, 06:14 PM
Somehow I don't think it's that easy to pick which ads you have. If you go with a company.
MORSN417
03-11-2006, 06:24 PM
I guess it is hard. The Genie obviously has little or no control over which ones appear on the site, or else we wouldn't have this problem.
Jack
03-11-2006, 07:34 PM
I got this one.

Nitrous
