Recently I have been seeing more and more inappropriate and/or corrupt/illegal advertisements being displayed on the forums. I understand that they help pay the server bills, but it is a serious issue. According to the AdSense Terms of Service, you can only display their ads on G-rated websites and they will shut down your account if you have adult content. However their ads occasionally link to p**n websites, or through a median of some sort, despite only allowing their ads on G rated sites. Here's an example:
Which took me here:
That site fully claims to be run by Adobe, then after automatically downloading, installs ransomware on your computer and takes complete control. (I ran it in a sandbox on my Windows partition)
These deceptive ads prey on both children and inexperienced internet users.
