Reporting Advertisements

• Popup, Popunder, Interstitial, 'Alert' Boxes, or any ad that redirects the user without clicking the ad.
• Flashing, Jiggling, or otherwise seizure-inducing ads.
• Ads that play sound on a page-load.
• Any ad banner that asks you to download or install something. FFXIAH.com will never ask you to install something
• 'Adult' content.
• Any ad that uses ActiveX.

FFXIAH.com is a member of several advertising networks and each give the ability to block specific ad types. There is a possibility that a bad ad will slip through by disguising itself or by simple human error. In order to catch these ads and remove them from the site, we need the help of our users--since some ads only show in some countries, often we cannot see the offending ads on our own computers, and rely on user submissions to tell us when an ad has slipped through.

If you see such an ad on FFXIAH.com here is what we need to get it fixed:

• Take a screenshot of the ad and send it to ffxiah@gmail.com
• Let us know your location, since different ad networks will service different areas.
• Tell us the URL the ad is serving from. Post the link into the email.
  • For non-flash ads, all this takes is right-clicking the ad, selecting 'Copy Link Location', and pasting the URL into the email.
  • For Flash ads, this is a little more difficult. With Firefox, you can do this by going into Tools > Page Info, then clicking the 'Media' tab. Look for anything that says 'Embed' on the right (those are the Flash files), and right click on the URL and select 'copy'.
  • Sometimes the ad can disguise itself by rewriting the HTML or through a quick redirect. Making the ad invisible and no way to report it using the above methods. We will need the more web savvy users to help with these. You will need something that will show the generated html source. The web developer toolbar addon for Firefox can do it. After installation, click 'Source'->'View Generated Source' from the toolbar. Copy the entire contents and place in the email.

Please do NOT post ad reports on the forums. I won't get to them as quickly, and on the off-chance you're reporting an ad with spyware in it, I don't want it linked all over the forums.
