Rob,
that's what I expected in the first place - however the ad mentioned is entirely
possible as they apparently do have both "mature" content and - well - content
that could pass Google rules. I have not made the effort to check out which is
which - I rather chose to ban their ads altogether which luckily enough is very
easy to achieve with the AdSense program.
As for the popup itself, I am of course curious to see such a thing myself.
Should I be able to prove it comes from a Google AdSense ad, the advertiser can
be sure this ad won't last long. I know that Google is renowned for enforcing
their policies and in this particular case very rightfully so.
The other point to make is of course that LUGNET is not strictly a kids' place,
especially if I browse the newsgroups or look at the web statistics. However, I
am in full agreement that we should keep this site kid-safe just in case. Being
a father myself, I have very strong points on what I would like my kids to see
and what I want to protect them from. Good to see that everyone seems to share
this view.
Regards,
Jerry
