I wasn't sure if this was the place to post this issue, so feel free to move it where appropriate...

I noticed those "Congratulations, you won (insert item here)" banner ads on my comic and on the forums today. Is there any possible way they can be mitigated? The voiceovers on those are quite annoying. I realize you guys probably have no control over that, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks!

I've seen that ad... I think just once, maybe a couple times, on DrunkDuck.

I've been getting them all the time on here since yesterday. ...One is a flashing red or blue ad and a guy says "congratulations, you won." The other is a woman saying "congratulations, you have won a free Apple iPhone." Another one that's a bit annoying is a flashing banner that says "If this is flashing, you are a WINNER." But I don't think that third one had a voiceover.

EDIT: Thanks for your help, ozone. I haven't seen them this morning yet, so ya must've done something. ;)

Sorry, guys. We've specifically told our ad networks not to give us ads like this but sometimes they make mistakes. I hate those, too, and we definitely don't want ANY ads that make people's experience here an unpleasant one. Thank you, lastcall, for pointing this out here and thanks to the admins for letting us know, too. Feel free to PQ me as well if you see this sort of thing again.
