Zentari Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thank you, Dark0ne :) The looping ads were aggravating, esp. when they were overlapping on itself causing a mind-numbing cacophony of noise. Let alone lag, browser crashing, etc. Oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBullets Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good, I had some of them redirect me to a fake adobe page that automatically downloaded some trojan pretending to an install.exe for flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestros Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Well, glad to see there were legitimate reports. I had a worry that opening up a "report ad" feature would result in ALL ADS, not just the bad ones, being reported. FYI to anyone reading, disabling Adobe Flash in your browser usually prevents many of the "annoying" ads. Edited May 12, 2016 by Celestros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark0ne got the statistics to this effect through the (relatively) new "report ad" function, and got ticked off enough to do something about it.

Not only are you NOT exploiting your user-base by basically forcing them to pay to get rid of shitty ads, but you are also risking your revenue for the betterment of your user's experience. Bravo. I can not stress how impressive and admirable that is. If anything should move people to donation for premium, it should be this, and I myself definitely see myself donating in the future. Thank you! I believe the world should consider you and the Nexus team a group of saints for the dedication you offer!Would you be surprised to know that he's turned down offers to buy the Nexus network?

Christhulhu Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I fully appreciate your diligence in taking care of this ad issue, and will gladly turn off my adblocker as soon as this Saturday comes around. Currently, this site is borderline unusable with the sorts of ads we get here.-just a suggestion, maybe you can incentivize people to turn off their adblockers by giving them some form of redeemable credit. That credit could be redeemed for short term (maybe a day or a week's work) premium membership, or even just partial features of the premium membership, like access to premium servers.

ANiceOakTree Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Just in like the last day or two on mobile I've gotten an excessive amount of "You win!" and taking me to another page ads where it is hard to go back to the Nexusmods site... Like I won't even click anything, the site page will just load, and then suddenly I've won an iPhone, no take-backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
