Intrusive and offensive advertisements
Replies
Well, thanks to your new adverts the site is virtually unplayable now. I can’t get onto wardrobe, I can’t click on anything individual such as shops, items, and I can’t move anything on a page if there is more than one thing going on. Not to mention the adverts I am getting are offensive and inappropriate, including body shaming and laughing gas canisters. Thanks for making me feel forced into buying a gold account in order to play the site properly.
Are the ads anything like the ones described in this thread? https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/905909/So-many-ads
Also, any particular reason you can't use an adblocker? I'll admit I don't know if there's one for mobile devices, but for browsers like Firefox, IE, and such they're usually free and easy to install and use. If I didn't have one I'm pretty sure I'd never use Subeta again. Much as I like the people on staff, I'm not willing to give my computer a virus on their behalf.
A very kind person sent me the coding for blocking adverts but it isn’t working. The site is next to unplayable and I doubt I’ll be on as often as I was. It’s a real shame, I enjoyed it
I don't remember getting any particularly intrusive ads on this site, I have a feeling that this is due to some unrelated malware on your computer.
there's a site approved ad blocker on that thread Rakumel linked. Did you try it yet?
Cleared my CSS and disabled Adblock and I'm definitely not seeing any inappropriate or intrusive ads. There are no ads at all in the wardrobe and nothing preventing me from navigating the site at all (aside from an occasional full-page ad on mobile only)
I agree that it sounds more like a virus
Do you have a screenshot of said ads? Because I've never had an issue with intrusive ads on this site and I'm wondering if it's potentially a virus or something.
You can install uBlock origin (make sure its this version, not uBlock) on firefox and chrome, mobile and desktop. I recommend you do that.
