The ads inside the posts need to be removed. Very tacky and seriously detracts from the user experience. Please remove them

Also unlike 15 years ago there are so many channels of comunication with jet and other areas of interest friends that I will keep this place for a while.,, the forum lost some of it relevance but it is still worth visiting.,, mostly to see how old friends are doing.

Hi guys,
A few things!
One, if you report an issue with the site over the weekend, I will not see it (and can't begin to do anything about it) until I return on Monday.
Two, if you report issues with the website, but you do it somewhere other than the forum where such issues are supposed to be reported, I won't see them until someone who HAS seen them sends me a PM.
If you have any issues with the site, we have a forum for that, and it is http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/foru...-problems-239/. When something is posted there, I get an alert to go look! When something is posted elsewhere, I get no alert, and I don't see it. And it stays the way it is. Use the support forum!
Three, I have now reported the ads issue to our ad ops guy. Hopefully it can be resolved soon.
Thank you for reporting. I will now move this thread into the the support forum.

The ad's suck, the problem is they will keep running them because while people will complain for a while eventually they will succumb and deal with it and RCU knows this. The percentage of people who will actually leave the site because of this is likely going to be less than 1/2%.
What bothers me about the ad's though is that so far, I've seen ad's for senior russion male order brides, weiner enlargement (apparently RCU filters our P E N I S but you can still say dick, schlong, wang, doodle, hoo ha, cock, tool, diddle stick, weiner, pocket rocket, purple headed warrior), sexy lingerie and travel to Cuba.
We can't have a viable search engine to look for airplane stuff on the site, but it's teaching me how to make my dick bigger, get an old wife that I won't have to live with long (senior), buy her some sexy crap to wear and go on a vacation to some tropical destination.
Good job RCU!!!!!
Oh, and I'm sure the site owners will gladly say that the ad's come up based on your normal everyday searches, well, I can honestly say that I have never searched for any of those things, outside of lingerie I highly doubt my wife has either!

In this instant case, the ads are huge on typically on the right side of the screen. They make a page where you can post/read a comment go from 13 inches across down to 6 inches. There are a couple of examples already posted in this thread. It's the same regardless of IE, Mozilla, or phone/tablet usage.
If it's an intentional change, it is what it is. The site has the right to monetize the pages as they see fit, it's just cumbersome and not user friendly.

It seems that posts to this thread that suggest any possible strategy to avoid the new RCU Ads are being deleted.
I have just read the RCU Rules of Posting and cannot find anything which suggests that discussion of this nature is not permitted.
Incidently, the Rules of Posting have become difficult to read becase of the large Ad which restricts a very long posting to a very narrow column.
Can somebody from RCU please provide clarification?
Best Regards,

For me, at least, the ads are no big deal as long as they don't interfere with reading posts. As long as the ads are either R/C related or generic stuff like cars, Amazon, State Farm etc, they're fine, its the male enhancement and other adult focused stuff that are the issue.

I totally agree about the questionable ad content guys. They do not belong on this site. We are hoping we have successfully blocked them now. If you see more, screenshot them and send them to me or just post them here and I'll kill them.
When we implemented the new placements, for some reason one of our ad networks started pushing this crap out and we have since shut them out of RCU.
