Unfriendly ads?

I normally don't pay attention to the ads but this one caught my attention. Wow.. Just wow.

The ad that keeps annoying me is the one from the power/electric/energy company that scrolls down over the whole page. can easily click on it while feeding. Grrrrrr!
(It only happens on PC)

@snowywinter @pet_cemetery
If you find bad adverts please submit a ticket with information about the advert. Especially ones that take over the whole page.

@mastergemma thank you. What information do you need from the ad? ad image? re-direct link?

(Now if only I can remember/stop myself from closing the page in time to report it.
...and right now the computer is on a fresh session. Usually it takes a few days or a couple weeks to start showing up again. I meant to report one the other day, and kept a tab up, but the computer crashed before I could get to it.)

@snowywinter
Should have included this earlier
Please right click onto the advertisement to get the URL and/or click onto the advertisement and get the destination URL. If you see some sort of scam advert please press the [x] button on the top right of the ad and follow through the prompts for Google as these are from Google Ads.

I also suggest if you personally don't like an advert, block it for yourself.

@mastergemma
Thank you for letting me (all of us) know which details to include when reporting the ads on a ticket.

(as for blocking it via Google, it takes a while to take effect... then only lasts so long before they show up again as a "new" ad campaign. ...not that it stops me from giving feedback on some ads now and then.)
