Long time user, new member...finally made an account for this rant.

The ads on this site are soooooo annoying! I mean for a free site, fine, ads, thats great. But get rid of the ads that play audio! Personally I use speakers instead of a headset and whatever volume is default on those ads just blows my ear drums or starts randomly while sitting on a build page that I've been staring at and interrupts my vent conversation. I'd be willing to pay a small subscription monthly/yearly to the site just to avoid those ads.

Yes I know a majority of them have a mute button, but first you have to scan the page to find out which one of the 8 is making the noise. Then there is the one I encountered today for yoplait yogurt that didnt have a mute or volume button at all........too much. I swear that ad did the opposite for me, I will never buy that ******** yogurt. /rant

There's a thread for this. Be specific what ads you're talking about and the staff will almost surely contact the advertisers and take down the music/sound ads.

All the "interactive" ads are annoying as hell. It wouldnt be bad if the ads stayed the same, because they are easily muted or avoided. But whenever the page refreshes itself, new ads pop up. OMG RUIN MY LoL experience. I cannot tell you how many times i have died because of the ads coming up mid game. I agree with ntaguitar.

These ads are not intentional. The first time an audio ad appeared we contacted the network that was showing it and demanded that they remove it.

We've told our advertisers to filter out audio ads, but apparently someone isn't behaving. Unfortunately we don't get these ads ourselves, I've never seen an audio ad since the first ones were removed, so they must be targeted ads. Since we can't see them we can't tell which network they are coming from, unfortunately.

We'll try to figure out who is showing them so we can give them hell, if you can post a screen shot next time you get one it would help!

Restrictnine nothing on our site should refresh itself, if you can tell me where and when this is happening I will investigate. If the audio ad isn't there when you initially load the page, there shouldn't be anything that would cause it to change itself, unless one of the networks is really misbehaving.

ntaguitar, thanks for the post.

I am working on this. I thought we had it licked but I have added a couple of new sources to the mix and one of them is serving up audio ads again it would appear. I have contacted them all and should have it sorted out shortly.

As the other thread states we do not wish to show these ads so if you can, please screencap them or at least tell me the name of the company/product/service and the location on the page of the offending ad. It helps me a lot in figuring out who it is.

Thanks
