Reporting 'Bad' site adverts

LOVE GOT JUST THE WAY IT IS #ALWNV
Dear @GrandOldTeam

The other day I was navigating the forum on Android and obtained a strange popup after accidentally, clicking on an advert. (I think)

Basically saying the device was 'damaged and needs to be repaired'

The popup was one of the code injection hacks on the advert or one of the 'redirects'

But was trying to get malware to be downloaded.


If we get dodgy adverts who/how do we report them to you to have them excluded?

I say this since we're being asked to keep adblockers down on GOT. So ideally, only 'GOOD' ads want to be displayed and 'BAD' ads restricted.

If you can just answer how we report bad ads - this would be helpful.

Ta!
 
There arent any bad ads on the site, stop chatting utter wham before I ban you.

Hackers look for weaknesses. Google adsense isn't fool proof.

Ad clicks support the site's server costs so GOT only wants 'Good Ads' to be displayed, of course mate.

As a responsible site administrator.

He isnt online, im just answering for him.

Ban or bed, your choice.


I've never had a problem with any ads on here before. Hence the OP.

All I want to know or have is a specific webpage to report a bad advert URL.

Don't need anything else. Let GOT's backroom do the rest.

Blues,

The 2015/16 season proved to be our busiest ever season since establishing in February 2007. It was our ninth consecutive year of growth so thank you for visiting, and contributing to GrandOldTeam's success.

We've always endeavored to provide the very best place on the web for fans worldwide to congregate to discuss Everton FC and as a big part of that effort, we're continually investing in servers which will make the website quicker, and considerably more stable.

Ensuring GrandOldTeam is sustainable is my biggest priority, so most of my effort is on balancing costs. I don't expect GOT to be self sustaining, but I need to ensure the gap doesn't get too great where it's too big a strain for me to fund. So, we need your continued/increased help.

How can you help support GrandOldTeam?

  • Disable AdBlock. Our sponsors have trackers on their adverts to see how many times their adverts are being loaded, which they carefully evaluate prior considering any sponsorship renewal. It's important they see an accurate representation. Our adverts are not intrusive, and in fact, having Adblock enabled is more intrusive as you see a great red box asking you to disable adblock. Please do so.
  • & Visit our advert partners. If you see a partner message on GOT that you like, please visit. They'll see the referral traffic and think we're sound.
    We also get a couple of pence every time
  • Buy with Amazon using our link. It makes no difference to the cost of what you buy but it does mean that about 5% of what you spend on Amazon comes back to us to help with the running costs of the site.
  • Register for a PaddyPower account via this link - (Gamble responsibly). You'll get a free £20 bet when you stake £10 and in return for promoting Paddy Power, we earn 20% on any profit Paddy Power make through their partnership with GrandOldTeam. So, say you stake £10 and lose, you can find some comfort knowing that £2 of that will go to supporting your lovable rogues at GrandOldTeam.
  • Upgrade your forum account. We have a 'Forum Supporter' account upgrade which is essentially, a donation system. You can pay £20 for a GrandOldTeam mug and a few more unspectacular perks.
  • Buy a GrandOldTeam mug. They're boss and make tea taste 21% better.
  • Buy your Everton merch through our link here.
  • Buy from Classic Football Shirts with this link. The more they sell from GrandOldTeam, the greater likelihood they'll continue to sponsor us.
  • If you use Stubhub to buy a ticket (please only buy at face value or less, let's not encourage touts!) GrandOldTeam would benefit in a very small way by you using this link.
  • Register for a free GrandOldTeam forum account and use it when browsing GOT. Stop lurking as a 'Guest'. Login ;)

if you use any of the following websites, please click through via our link first -It makes no difference to the cost of what you buy but a small % of what you spend comes back to us to help with the running costs of the site.


We're also always receptive to sponsorship opportunities with local businesses. If you have/know a business that could help work with GrandOldTeam, please give us a shout.

Thanks.

!

By usual channels. Private message, email, twitter, facebook - it's all good.

They're exceptionally rare.

If you see them on here, you'll inevitably see them elsewhere on your website given Googles marketshare.
