Our ad policy does not permit auto playing audio or auto expanding ads. To report an ad, follow these steps:

1. Right click the ad (or just below if you can't right click it) and choose "Inspect" (img)

2. In the dev tools window, scroll up so that as much of the code before the highlighted line is visible (img). Expand any collapsed lines if necessary.

3. Link a screenshot of the ad, a description of the problem and a screenshot of the dev tools window in this thread.

We allow auto playing video ads, but not with audio. Do you have some examples of the ads, preferably with screenshots of dev tools? (Right click the ad, inspect, maximize the dev tools window, scroll up so the ad code is near the bottom of the window and and screenshot).

Does the decision to allow video ads provide enough income to compensate for me using adblock on TL? I mean, I am still just one user, but let me guess, probably in the top 1% of pageviews per user. So if the video ads only bring a very small increase in revenue, they might actually be worth blocking just for me

Because I am sorry, but I just won't let ANYTHING moving on my computer unless I really want to watch it. I don't know why (maybe a driver issue or dying hardware), but any kind of video takes a tragic performance hit on everything.

Page views lose value per user over time since the highest paying ads are frequency capped. So unfortunately being in the top 1% doesn't mean you generate additional ad revenue, in fact you may be costing us in additional server resources .

The video ads are typically higher paying though since they are more flexible than banner ads.

It seems that i get nsfw adds those days. I encountered 3 tonight (two of 'em i got the SS) which is linked here. I don't know the URL because i don't want to click them.

It seems that it's some "sex adds". There's some that are worse but i tend to refresh the page when i'm at work just in case.

I started to get "UPGRADE YOUR WHATSAPP NOW!" and "YOU'VE GOT A VIRUS ON YOUR PHONE!!!!" ads that try to open up stuff on my phone and make me press on shady links.
At first I thought it was something wrong with my phone or browser, but I only get these type of ads on here.

Is it possible to get rid of those? They are really annoying and make me not want to go on teamliquid on any mobile device.

Not sure if a screenshot will do anything in this case, but I'll add one later. It's not always, but often enough that it starts to get problematic(as I sometimes accidentally click that shit).

I've created an imgur album of the type of ads I get on teamliquid and what they link me to. Read from bottom to top. When I press "Ok", site automatically redirects to all that stuff. Different alarms sometimes, but pretty much same three destinations.
Seems they're trying to scam me out of info & agree to some payments. It's all in German, sorry.

In case this is important:

Standard Android 5.1.1
Galaxy S6 Edge
Vodafone(Germany) as Provider

I don't always get these ads, I noticed I mostly get them when trying to browse the forums, like in the last screenshot, I tried to open this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/507323-s2sl-season-1-2016-grand-finals

We've updated our ad category filters to remove ads that have References to Sex & Sexuality and Ringtones & Downloadables. Hopefully this should cut back on the mobile malware that's slipping in. Please keep reporting if you see anything bad!

I dont know where to post this exactly, hope this is ok.

I'm having a lot of issue with the flash ad player on Liquipedia sites under the right info bar.

For some reason my chrome on work laptop and stationary both have a tendency to get unresponsive as the ad loads, and often if i leave a Liquipedia page open it will crash flash after ~30 minutes. Right now i suddenly got a loud scratching noise, which apparently came from the same flash app. Guess the autoplay went nuts.

Anyway, dunno if it's just me. I run windows 7 on laptop with Chrome Version 50.0.2661.87 m. Home is win10, probably same chrome version. Im backend developer so i don't really know much about flash and the player (besides fuck flash) but if i can give any info that might help this issue, i'd be happy to help. I don't seem to have this issue on other sites.

Edit: Just tested again, this time in incognito. The O2 player chucked halfway through the video with lots of buffering, until it finally gave up and killed flash. I dont have problem with flash in general (more than, you know, flash sucks), so maybe its the O2 player? Almost looks like it have a memory leak or something.

Also, it seems sometimes (depending on site content?) i get a different player, this one from sekindo runs flawless, seems like its HTML5 so that makes sense. Any chance the O2 player could die? :D

Yeah the O2 player has a tendency to be really bad, we heard about that one before. Unfortunately it is not quite easy to filter a specific ad out, and the O2 player is used in multiple ads, but we are doing our best.

The liquipedia ads have been a problem for months, since the middle of last year or so to be honest. It's part of the reason why I stopped contributing.

I've no idea what is causing it because I tend to snap-close Liquiddota when it happens but there is an ad that is producing a large amount of loud static-style noise through Chrome occasionally.

Usually leave LiquidDota open during the day but I've started closing it now because it keeps happening and pumping static through the speakers at max volume. Not fun.

i've been getting this thing for 2-3 days now on random tl pages, while browsing:
"The XSS Filter has detected a potential XSS attack"
i hit "View unsafe content" and get this:

Just wanted to come back and say that at least for me these types of ads have stopped. So it seems that this has done the trick.

Thanks a lot! <3

Sometimes on Liquiddota i get ads for MMR boosting wesbites, which doesn't seem like something we would want

Excuse my low skills, but I'd like to report an ad that plays with audio, but I don't seem to have an inspect button when I right click on the add (using Firefox, and I don't seem to have those adds with Chrome). What can I do?

Had to stop whitelisting tl on firefox because the google ads were causing a script to break and firefox to slow down and crash.

Any advice rich?

I had the same problem and reported it here multiple times, but it got ignored for months on end, and thus i ended up installing adblock again just to be able to use TL.

I guess video ads are more important then forum users.

The audio ads are annoying; I leave the tab open, then after awhile I start hearing audio from an ad. It's very intrusive, and makes it not worthwhile to keep the ads open. I'll have to install an ad-blocker soon, or just stop using tl again, because it's really annoying to suddenly get a voice ad when I'm in the middle of a game in another tab. Not sure how to identify them.
