hardtailstar Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Has anyone else noticed Conservative adverts plaguing the forums?
LeMarchand Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Shhhh! You'll upset my minion. It is odd that I only seem to get a Tory ad.
hardtailstar Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Shhhh! You'll upset my minion. It is odd that I only seem to get a Tory ad. im not following that thread but you've now got a Tory ad to the side. Surely the site shouldnt be advertising any party.

Oaktech Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I draw the honourable gentleman's attention to this, from earlier... Frankly, this is NSFW in my eyes!
Domino Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 But we've got to let them advertise otherwise Cameron will revert to Lizard form and swallow us all. ..or like, a third party manages the ads and they're not hand chosen. I dunno, whatever.
Gatt Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I draw the honourable gentleman's attention to this, from earlier... [ATTACH=CONFIG]30417[/ATTACH] Frankly, this is NSFW in my eyes! I have to admin - Toilet humour isn't really appropriate for this forum...
localzuk Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I've been getting Tory and Lib Dem ads. But hey, that's how behavioural/targeted adverts work isn't it?
Gatt Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I've been getting Tory and Lib Dem ads. But hey, that's how behavioural/targeted adverts work isn't it? Either that or the other parties can't figure out how to work a computer yet!
Oaktech Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I have to admin - Toilet humour isn't really appropriate for this forum... I realise that without the rest of the thread the context of this looks dubious! But still...
hardtailstar Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 I've been getting Tory and Lib Dem ads. But hey, that's how behavioural/targeted adverts work isn't it? I wouldn't class myself as behaving like a conservative
vizubeat Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Surely this is just targeted advertising? It's pretty unlikely that edugeek chooses which ads appear on the site? Thread definitely shouldn't be marked as a bug. Just go get adblock
LosOjos Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 ..or like, a third party manages the ads and they're not hand chosen. I dunno, whatever. Don't be silly.
localzuk Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I wouldn't class myself as behaving like a conservative In which case you're their target audience. If you were a Tory, there's no point in asking you to vote the way you were already planning to! We're a bunch of hippies on this site, so more of us are going to vote against them than for them - so advertising at us is to try to change our minds!
Oaktech Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 so advertising at us is to try to change our minds! Or enrage us... Hey-ho!
LeMarchand Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Just go get adblock I've got AdBlock, but (as requested) have it disabled on EduGeek. We're a bunch of hippies on this site, so more of us are going to vote against them than for them - so advertising at us is to try to change our minds! Alas, the poll on the election thread suggests a fair number are going to vote for the Empire.
mikeprice Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Hadn't even noticed the adverts on Edugeek until this started ! dunno what that says about me - wonder if I do the same with the help desk tickets??
ZeroHour Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) I have not seen them myself, if you could try to grab the url it uses and/or the image url we may be able to get them blocked. We are certainly unaware of any direct tory ad purchase on the site but it may be coming from google. Edit: I wonder if the ads are linked to the evil/sith based site.. Edited May 6, 2015 by ZeroHour
Steve21 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Google seem to have them a lot today, had it on YouTube all day Cam waffling on Even worse than Kia's adverts recently haha Steve

vizubeat Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 How's about we all click the ads for the conservatives over and over, costing them a whole load of CPC £££ !
hardtailstar Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 How's about we all click the ads for the conservatives over and over, costing them a whole load of CPC £££ ! Feel free, I for one wont be.
LosOjos Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 How's about we all click the ads for the conservatives over and over, costing them a whole load of CPC £££ ! Because their money is our money...
