How to report bad advertisements!

The following types of advertisements are not allowed on WarcraftMovies.com:
* Flashing, Jiggling, or otherwise seizure-inducing ads.
* Ads the break the site design or covers portions of the site content.
* Ads that play sound on a page-load.
* Ads for RMT, gold-selling, powerlevelling, botting, or other services that encourage the user to break Blizzard's Terms of Use.
* "Adult" content.

WarcraftMovies.com employs the services of ad networks to run its advertising. These networks, in addition to running normal ad campaigns, also allow companies to sign up for their network, and give their product a tag like "MMO" or "gaming". Ads for that product will then show up on sites like ours, that have that tag and work with that ad network. When we employ their services, we provide them with a list of "Excluded Categories", like the above, letting them know what ads we allow on our site and what ads we don't.

However, because WarcraftMovies.com has so many pageviews, we employ a number of different ad networks at the same time. As a result, every so often an ad will slip through the cracks. In order to catch these ads and remove them from the site, we need the help of our users--since some ads only show in some countries, often we cannot see the offending ads on our own computers, and rely on user submissions to tell us when an ad has slipped through.

If you see an ad that should not be on WarcraftMovies.com, here is what we need in order to get it fixed:
* Take a screenshot of the ad and send it to contact@warcraftmovies.com
* Let us know your location, since different ad networks will service different areas.
* Tell us the URL the ad is serving from. For non-flash ads, all this takes is right-clicking the ad, selecting "Copy Image Location", and pasting the URL into the email. For Flash ads, this is a little more difficult. With Firefox, you can do this by going into Tools > Page Info, then clicking the "Media" tab. Look for anything that says "Embed" on the right (those are the Flash files), and right click on the URL and select "copy". Then paste that link into the email. Safari users, meanwhile, can just open the Activity Window, expand everything, and screenshot that. You can also use a tool like FireBug (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) to help you copy the html code of the ad.

Thanks for your help in making WarcraftMovies.com a better place to browse!

Some advertisers do not specify that their ads are audio or adult when submitting to the rotation, this is why some creep throughI'd get that all the time, sadly I just went ahead and blocked all the ads.
