Sexual/NSFW-themed Advertisements on XDA-Developers' Front Pages - Off-topic

Has anyone seen front-pages consisting of sexually themed advertisements like this today (2016-09-26)?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's safe to say that people aren't pleased with said advertisements. Yes, we understand why you need advertisements, but frankly, to put up NSFW advertisements on a site that MAY be used by those who aren't comfortable to seeing such content, like OAPs and children.
After all, this is supposed to be a smartphone-modding/developing site, with today's (2012-2016 - at the time of writing) main course being custom Android OSes, usually provided in the form of flashable ZIP packages, and NOT a porn site.

And this is why we have a thread dedicated for this purpose: Intrusive Ads? Post here!
Our rules forbid NSFW things like this being posted or discussed, so I'm not sure why anyone would think these ads were deliberately being shown?
The owners don't sit and approve every single ad that appears on the site, that just wouldn't be possible.
We are aware that some of these inappropriate ads are slipping through the net, and are working with the media agency to put a stop to them as soon as possible.

Not Another Wiki

Well, after looking for an not finding what I wanted...I just decided to build it.
#1 - place to compare ROMs and Kitchens..with filter and sorting.
#2 - place to keep track of my own personal ROIM experiences
#3 - place to keep track of cabs I load (how many cabs do you have on your storage card you have no idea what it is)
So I built up this Sharepoint site and gave a bunch of Cookers rights to post their stuff.
I would LOVE it if I could get some Coders to post their stuff too. It's really pretty easy. And since it's not really an interactive sight...you only have to do it once...you don't have to monitor it continuously.
So, now I'm going to the public.
Here are some screenshots of the basic idea
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here are some of the cool stuff you can do with lists:
filter By Carrier
Filter By system
here's where users can track their experiences with different ROMs and Kitchens
Here they can track stuff on different Programs and Cab and such.
So....after all that...
The site is located at : http://sp.textultant.com/Mobility
The URL will redirect you there : http://TheMobilityExperts.com
Please understand that adding users is not automatic and somewhat cumbersome....I will try to process requests as soon as I can...but I just want to set expectations...It may by 24 hours or more in some cases. since I'm the only Admin right now.
Hope you like it...There's a survey out there on the site to let me know what you think.
EVERYONE can View...
there are instructions on the site for how to Join and Use
Here goes..........................
CHEERS!

Hi,
Please don't spam the board.
I've also moved this thread to the off-topic.
Thanks

Made a new website

Zup peeps!
Just "finished" my new website. OK, it's not 100% finished, but it's pretty close now. You'll notice the "Service" and "FAQ" sections are missing everything at the moment, and are just filled with text until i can fill them with some content, but it'll be finished soon enough. Look at it as a preview.
What is this interwebz site? Well, it's pretty obvious isn't it? More info coming soon
Check it out
Note: You'll have to be on a computer to see it or set the user agent on your phone to Desktop
Looks pretty nice, and since you are a web designer, and I am your friend, I am obligated to tell you to make me a website for free where I can edit the galleries and writing. lol
Can we haz cookies at your website?

I love your website. I like the template. Can you please make one for my Christian youth group. PM if you can, and how much will it cost.
Thanks

Thanks!
But i'm not a web designer I studied it like 6 years ago and that's it.
Looking at your website shows me you know how to make a flash website. That's more than my basic HTML knowledge.
I've updated the "Service" section and added "FAQ". Both are currently filled with gibberish (latin) so you can see how i plan on doing it. Just ignore the content
Any feedback?

[Q] Publish fan made app without getting removed?

I have made a pokemon app. Since there are other fan made pokemon apps, I thought ti would be ok to make one myself. I made a type match up app that shows the weaknesses and resistances of pokemon types, mono and dual type. The first time I published it this happened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So it was a spam thing in the title or description. I read what they told me to read, and a little while I can to the conclusion that the description had to many repetitive words. OK no big deal, at least it wasn't because of copyright. I decided to change the title too. From Pokemon Type Match Up to Pokemon Competitive Utilities to make it more accurate since I plan on adding more features to it. I edited the description to match what I thought Google Play wanted bases on what I read. But this time I forgot to add a disclaimer which might or might not had cause what I'm going to explain next. So I published my app again thinking everything was going to be OK, then this happened:
OK, so It is not longer a spam issue and now a copyright one? I didn't understand what to do so I filed a appeal and said this:
and got this in reply:
Was this because I forgot a disclaimer? I don't know. This emails are too vague for me. I read the Content Policy again that related to my issue, and I still don't know how to write a description that doesn't break any policy. I would post the descriptions, but since the app is suspended, I can't access them.
Maybe it was also my icon and graphic image. Here they are:
This is my question to developers who have successfully published a fan made app: How did you do it? Feel free to ask questions. I really want this app published.

Here's what I do:

Now I know that seems a bit extreme, but I'm working on a full body suit too. You can never have enough protection. :good:
I don't live in the U.S., so I just keep a lot of CIA memes on my phone and taunt them, since they can't touch me.

Any way you know how to clear the notifications? I don't have any new ones, but this just won't disappear. Constantly says 10.
I may have not posted, but I've watched this forum get more and more bloated and harder and harder to navigate over the last maybe 4 years. It's almost terrible trash now. Every page has an ad you must clear at the bottom, search is and has been borked for a couple years, just better to search the forums using Google, no longer is the forums laid out in a tree, it's just here you go find your own way around.
Anyways, thanks man.
