    If you see inappropriate ads then save the url they link to and drop Dav or Nicola a pm about it and they can block them.

    Boards is PG13 so shouldn't be serving these but some of them seem to get through. :)

    Can be quite a valid resource to use at times depending on the work.

    Hate to break it to you buddy, but web advertising is based on net activity. :rolleyes: Shouldn't really be browsing boards at work either as some content may not be safe for work.

    If you choose to opt out of targeted advertising you can get loads of mad ads displayed to you.. and not all employers forbid you from browsing the web.

    It's a bit of a cop-out to blame people for the ads they see when Boards have a degree of control over the ads that people are shown. (not aimed at you in particular.. just generally speaking).. NSFW is an ambiguous term at the best of times.
