Have just checked out one of the "adverts" we now show on HOL.
It's called Silverscreen,and promotes a service similar to Netflix only free.
Now I'm a bit long in the tooth to believe that,so checked out a few review sites and,hey presto, it's a scam!
Surely we should carry out some basic checks before posting these ads?

I don't think that these ads are selected by HOL but by the ad server that we use

So are we saying in order to have a free fans forum we have to accept ads from dubious sites that are sometimes scams?

Are the mods comfortable with this arrangement ?

No I didn't say that at all but HOL's owners are neither mind readers nor spend all day monitoring the adverts that are served up on the site.

If any advert is suspicious then anyone who is unhappy can report it to Admin who can take action to have it blocked

Please take a screenshot of the ad you are refering to, and I will follow it up with our ad network.

Still getting the "ad choices" pop up by the way, on multiple devices and browsers at random periods.

As I've said before, it seems they're only "choices" if you choose the way they want you to.
