I have no idea what advertising service that MAL uses, but a good amount of them or hentai game/manga ads, and i accidentally clicked one.

I'm 13 by the way, and there are probably other kids on here clicking on them as well.

Can this be changed please.

I agree with this.

Even though we have ads, can't they at least be relevant ones and not some random guy talking about how he loves surfing. As for the hentai/ecchi clickbait, some people are actually okay with that. Personally, I don't want the ads at all.

If you don't want to see ads at all, you can either install an ad blocker for your browser or use an incognito tab (Ctrl+Shift+N on Chrome)

Hm, yes, you are right. But the thing is, MyAnimeList also has pretty many hentai/ecchi/horror anime and manga in its DB that aren’t for kids, as well. What I am trying to say is that this website isn’t for kids; I hope that there are parents that control the activity of their kids on this website.

I guess that an option that will hide all erotic content for kids would be really nice to have; however, I don't know if it is possible to implement it.

That offends me, the site isn't strictly for adults either.

And i'll use an ad-blocker, so much for supporting MAL

I am sorry for that and I am not trying to say that there should be absolutely no kids on this website, no, but their activity here should be kept under the control of their parents, since, as I have already mentioned, there are "these types of" anime and manga that kids shouldn’t see. *Insert your hentai anime/manga here.*

EDIT:

Another example that should support my point of view is Sword Art Online, which is in your favorite anime list, by the way. This anime is a good example that all parents should control what they kids do on this website. Sword Art Online isn’t for kids, and I am sure that I shouldn’t explain that to you.

Are you talking about the "j-list" ones with the obvious sex objects? Yeah, I'll agree. Those are a bit explicit, especially if I'm viewing in public, yet another reason why I use adblock on my comp, sadly there's no easy way to get it on an iPhone. You can try reporting them to the ad provider itself as inappropriate but it's doubtful anything will be done.

While MAL's at it, they can also stop the fraudsters from advertising fake "win an iPhone / win a gift card sweepstake!1!1!" sites too. That shit is actually invasive on my phone.

I've seen quite a few people here who are around 13-15, so don't worry, you're far from entirely alone.

Also the ads depicting obvious sex objects as I said are completely uncalled for, I can't believe that j-list, assuming it's j-list- because I can't think of any other site that so obviously flaunts its sleazy shit from a Japanese anime related perspective - is doing it in the first place. That kind of advertising is pretty damn… well, haven't people ever heard of "keep some shit to yourself"? People can buy those things privately without having to have them advertised, let alone on a relatively well known anime forum site, of all places. Although, to be fair, j-list ads pop up constantly on other anime related sites as well, at least the ones who use a similar ad provider, despite the sites themselves being unexplicit.

The point is, i don't understand why this shit doesn't stay confined to advertising on obvious "adult" sites, that of which MAL is not, despite there being lots of adults here. It's still a mixed community relative to most forums. If advertising something that explicit, it should stay confined elsewhere. And it's not like it appears as a result of cookies from explicit searches automatically. It's usually triggered by something as simple as having "anime" in your history. You don't have to search for a certain level of perversion to get one of these ads, it's selected by a roulette that maybe relies on one to a few keywords.

Really I think the outrage or complaints should be taken to the company who is so stupidly spewing these ads in the first place. If a group of people went to j-list and started asking if they'd please restrict those shitty onahole ads to adult sites only, there's no guarantee they'll fix the problem, but it may encourage them to. I think it's both faulty on both the advertisers and original companies part, though.

"10 million unique users"
10M*0,04=400.000
This is far more ppl than that you would know in your entire life and the 100 next one.

And if you support the suggestion, why would you show a statistic, that shows the above mentioned group is pretty much a minority.

I wasn’t trying to say that MAL shouldn’t think about that minority of kids on our website; something should be done, yes. To answer your question, I just showed that diagram for people that haven’t seen it yet.

It's very hard to tell through text, that's why I generally avoid it.
So, is this matter done with? Will a staff member do something about this?

I can’t answer your question, I am not a staff member, but I am more than sure that DeNa will find a way to protect kids on MyAnimeList. MAL’s previous owner didn’t give a fuck about anything; however, DeNa can implement your suggestion.

There's really a bunch of shitty ads on this site. I'm okay with advertising, I know maintaining a site costs money and for that reason I generally don't use an adblock, but the audio and porn ads here are like... pfff. Webmasters should learn to keep those ads in check, because some sites are really pushing people toward Ad-block

Yes I want more ads with penguins :v Who gives a fuck about anime and manga ads on a anime site? Fuck this shit. It hurts my eyes Please!! Please!~~

SO for now I will use ad block and not support the site, I'll look at my penguin avatar in delight.

Okay guys seriously.. I understand what you mean, if your in public it would not be cool seeing hentai on your phone, but.. I have never had a NSFW ad, funny how everyone else does. I guess I"m a special snowflake.

Behold of my awesomeness~

To my understanding, all of the images in our ads are supposed to be PG-13. If you see something inappropriate, post about it in the Support board.
