Timeline for Kind, courteous, inclusive, intolerant of bigotry, racism, etc. Fine, I agree. Now what about my feelings as a mod?

| Oct 16, 2019 at 4:11 | comment | added | MandyShaw | I have seen no ads on Stack Overflow, seems strange, since I guess it to have much the highest traffic; is this because the ad system, viewed by a v high percentage of SO users in the workplace, would result in too high a number of complaints? Presumably SO for Teams wouldn't show ads anyway. | |

| Oct 11, 2019 at 18:17 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | Is there any statistics of how many people have seen offensive ads before they are taken down? | |
| Oct 11, 2019 at 12:37 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | This is going exactly opposite to the way it should. Stop the ads until you can find a provider that meets the community standard. When you've got it figured out, put them back up. | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 21:29 | comment | added | Sklivvz Mod | It's the nth example of a bad ad, what are you doing to prevent further occurrences? | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 21:21 | comment | added | Pascal says Talk to Monica | @anongoodnurse: Unfortunately, it's unfixable in practice, it can just be improved so that it happens less often. But obviously this improvment eats into the profits of the add distribution companies because it costs money (spent on hiring more human verifiers or on implementing better classifier algorithms). | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 21:08 | comment | added | fbueckert | It hasn't really been mentioned, but the longer this takes to implement, the less of an audience you'll actually have to show ads to. While not directly your fault, people are fed up, with this and other SE debacles, so it wouldn't surprise me to see ad impressions dropping off a cliff every day. The longer it takes, the less need there is for people to control ads, as they just won't see any. | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 19:47 | comment | added | user148287 | no matter what your intention is, the result is exactly that, community has to police ads and it takes a relatively long time for you to react. What are you doing proactively. Of course, I have to do the same thing as everyone else, AdBlocker engaged. | |

Minor typo fix

| Oct 10, 2019 at 19:12 | comment | added | StephenG - Help Ukraine | This is why AdBlockers become common place - people very rapidly tire of hearing about nebulous plans. We get a lot of talk about plans from SE managers, but there's no sight of an actual plan with detail. Solution : Publish the plan. Who knows ? The members who provide answers to each other on topics like workplace, finance, economics and so on might even have better ideas than you do. | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 19:00 | comment | added | Culyx | I wish your team the best, but I've just turned on AdBlock for all SE sites, so far the best control I can exert over the ads; any other effort involves coming here to post. I look forward to your update. | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 18:57 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | Thank you for answering. I appreciate your responding, honestly. But I can't honestly say that your answer reassures me much, especially since learning that this has been going on for some time now. But please do keep trying; I hope you (pl) can fix this. | |

| Oct 10, 2019 at 18:35 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | You remove one, ten other appear. It's pointless. As long as you're using external ad provider, bad ads will keep showing. That's the reality. And at some point you'll get tired of removing them, and then they will stay. | |
