I mistyped primeape *embarrassed* and I got the standard page until:

I got that one on the Horsea page

Sorry for no pic, I just skimmed through it and I just didn't think of the bad ad reporting thread.

This is just... wow. See attachment.

I'm not sure if the ad on the right was inappropriate or not, so I left it in there. However, the one on top is BLATANTLY obscene @_@

[Wigglytuff]

I am confused as to why my post was deleted here.

This thread is for reporting inapprorpiate advertisements, my question is; does that apply to user's avatars as well?

Several prominent users have breasts as their avatars.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could clear this concern up!

No, it does not apply to users' avatars. This thread is for advertisements on the wiki or other Bulbgarden sites.

Learn to deal.

This thread is for posting ads seen on Bulbapedia that might be found objectionable or that cause problems for users. It has NOTHING to do with users' avatars. At all.

To answer your question, though: It's allowed on the forums. Just like swearing is allowed. Actual nudity in avatars? Not allowed. Anything that's normal to see while walking down a street in broad daylight is perfectly acceptable, though.

Hi there. I'm afraid I don't have a screenshot of this one but I'll post one as soon at it pops up. It's a teeth whitening ad which doesn't seem bad but hear me out. The ad links to this page

http://www.newswebdaily.com/health/white-teeth/index1.php?t202id=52026&t202kw=GB

It urges people to buy a product called Everbright Smile. This product is a scam and has lost people hundred of dollars as discussed on this page

http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/healthsmile-vibrantbeautyeverbright-smile-20minutesmilescom-amp-ultifreshwell-c282623.html

I know the advert itself isn't annoying or inappropriate but it sends people to a scam so for the safety of naive users can it be removed?

Also, when I looked through my history in between bulbapedia and the website I listed there was something about t.adbuyer.com does that help?

[Feolthanos Exultant]

Hey, got another one.

[Shiny Staraptor]

This one is REALLY annoying:

[AiedailEclipsed]

There's nothing there.

[Soulweaver]

Yeah... had the chance to pop on a real computer for a while to check Bulbanews et al. and what do I see? >.>

In case it helps things, the URL the link points to is:

This is not the worst of it...

Not a "bad" ad, but a mixed-up language:
