I was browsing physics.SE And I noticed a pattern in the ads carousel.

It started with a Pillow ads then it escalated quickly :
A pillow ads

Sex performance Ads

enter image description here

Sex improvement drugs

enter image description here

The carousel was fast I just had the time to get the link before it switch.
At the end I was a bit shook but it's ok. Next add will help:
A treatments to manage or stop my hallucinations

    Really you guys should get a VM with a french Windows. I make daily reports, on case I collect in less than 10 minutes. This one was longer as the ads keeps changing for something fun.

    I heard that before... and as you can see, whatever you do to "address this" has no effect on future ads, where "future" is even couple of hours from this time. Sorry, but this is plain useless.

    As a side note - I do appreciate the [staff] pin in user profiles, but perhaps it would be nice to have one of those in post cards, too

    @TerryGuyton-Bradley to make it clear, nothing personal here. You do your job just fine and I admire that. Problem is in the top levels who decide to work with problematic ad providers.

    What I want to know is how this happened. Was a moderator asleep at the console when these ads came in for approval? Did SE get hacked by a rogue advertiser?

    @RobertColumbia most likely outsourcing to a dubious party. Anyways it confirmed my believes that the french are always up to dubious practices, even at work ;)

  • @ShadowTheCoffeeWizard, while I also experienced this "frustration". About 6 hours after this post, All bad ads where removed. Only ads now are either IBM/Microsoft or StackOverflow related

  • @xdtTransform well for me it's deeper than just frustration. It's disappointment, and disbelief in the decisions made by SE.
