Flight Rising Discussion

Update February 02, 2024: Adobe ads, ad categories, and HAR files

1. We've confirmed that all Adobe ads have been blocked from the Flight Rising website; they will remain off until the freezing issue is fixed.
2. We've confirmed that the ad category for Flight Rising is child-friendly; this means any inappropriate ads that show up have been miscategorized or mislabeled by the advertiser.
3. We've confirmed that HAR files are extremely helpful in tracking down and removing bad ads.

We hope this information helps to set your mind at ease about allowing ads, and with taking the steps needed to report bad ads. Thank you!

[emoji=guardian deadpan size=1] https://imgur.com/a/fyPwVOY I don't think an ad promoting a concealed carry organization is child-friendly... Had trouble finding the information so this is all I could provide. [/quote] Hi @AntimatterBee, yup, that's an ad that's mislabeled, either due to human error or an advertiser trying to expand their network options inappropriately. Those [b]are not[/b] ads we want on our site. [quote name="Sparrowgale" date="2024-02-02 16:52:17" ] Got some bad news...

The irony is delicious. But on a more serious note, that is hopefully the tail end of what was already on the network before the Adobe ads were shut off. We were told they were off while the problem is addressed.
