Reporting Nuisance Ads

Article: Ric / Edited: Leftenent / Image: Ill Legend

<div style="width: 500px; text-align: center" align="center">You launch Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, or whatever other browser you choose and type www.edge-gamers.com into the address bar and hit enter. Our beautiful website pops up and suddenly you start hearing how Dawn Dish Soap is $2.99 at your local WalMart. You choose to close out of our website and not return because you got annoyed with the ads. Alternatively, you get redirected to another website.

Recently, this has been an issue on our website and many people choose not to return because they don't know what to do when it happens. Fortunately, there is something you can do to help better our community. Use the Dropbox to report these frustrating ads/redirects.

Grab the URL of the redirect page or the URL of the sound enabled ad and create a new thread in the Dropbox with the prefix Website Suggestion. This will allow us to report the ad to our network and in turn, you will be helping our gaming community out. Our Tech Team will address each ad/redirect dropbox promptly and handle it as needed.

We apologize for any inconveniences caused lately and thank you for your support in making our community number one.

I'm glad this was addressed :thumbup: A while ago I was all of a sudden having problems with the eGO website, getting phony java update popups that would automatically install files that were most definitely unwanted onto my computer. I removed some stuff hoping it would be fixed, and it was. Still not sure exactly what was causing it though. *it was ONLY edgegamers, no other websites*

Whoah, and there I was thinking it was just my browser having some sort of malware problem. Turns out it was not malware but an actual redirect. :O

it kept happening to me, so I un-installed firefox!

 

[lonewolf777]

I have Firefox and I've never had a problem with ads.

 

[RiKiJakir0]

Thanks for reminding me to unblock eGO on my adblockers ;D

I dont want to brag but, I love my [DS] Dedicated Supporter Tag

(i have ad-block also for most things)

 

[Raynor]

Dedicated supporter here, no issues, plus i run adblock plus and noscript. easy way of blocking out those pesky ads

A combination of being DS and avast has kept my experience nice and clean, and I feel better for helping eGO

 

[SevenOh!]

Dish soap is 2.99? That's cheaper than at the stores!

 

[KelpTheGreat]

*cough*adblockplus*cough* >_>

Well I'm a DS too! And something weird with fire fox kept happening, so I un-installed it and that took care of that.
It started out with an add, and then it was trying to re-direct me, and install something!
