For general complaints about ads, please use this link.

This thread is to report specific advertisements you encounter while browsing the site, which are:
  • playing sound – all ads should be silent
  • hiding content – breaking the page layout and/or popping out to cover the page text
  • inappropriate – not safe for work / PG13 (note: hentai database page ads will be more risque, but should still not be explicit)
  • other – overly obnoxious for another reason not listed above

To report an ad, please include the following:
  • Category (listed above)
  • Description of the problem
  • Time of incident
  • Country/timezone
  • Device (e.g. PC/Mac/Android Tablet/iPhone)
  • Browser
  • MAL URL
  • Ad URL (right click the ad --> Copy Link Address, if possible)
  • Screenshot indicating the offending advertisement, and where it is situated on the page

Example


Please fill in ALL categories.
Without a screenshot, Ad URL and country/location, it is very difficult for us to request these ads be stopped.

Category: NSFW, Japanese
Description: Probably some hentai website advertisement. Hot and sexy things are implied. Would get off to it but am not capable of reading Japanese and am not in the mood. At least this is better than than the lewd images of anime girls people on their profile/signature. As MAL is a website for all ages (I think?), please remove this. Might make even adults uncomfortable when they ain't in the mood. Wouldn't want your mom/girlfriend understanding what is implied in these adverts.

If an ad links to a hentai page or something of that sort is it still against the rules if the ad itself shows no explicit images? Just wanted to know.

I'm putting back adblock. Every page takes at least three times as long to load completely. This is already unacceptable ad behavior, notwithstanding the above problems of causing browser hangups on an overclocked quad core desktop class PC.

Thread cleaned. I'm sorry guys, but I really need to keep this thread manageable or ad reports are going to get lost. Please give general feedback in the appropriate thread.

@Kuma @Mayumi @OneTrueEmiya @Jonny_Mhl @Fukuoka1999 @Kuri_TT0 @StaticRift @YourPublicEnemy @gebriel @Orion_Gospel: Your reports should be solved soon, if they aren't already. Thank you very much.

@psychic-kitten: Thank you for the report, we'll have this fixed ASAP.

@Koyomo: We need more information to identify the malicious ad. Please try to fill in the information in the first post.

Anyone knows how to fix this?
Some other add-ons for browsers may be interfering, or browser features themselves (such as tracking protection for FF). You'll need to test it to see which one it is. Sorry I can't be of more help.

As long as the image is not explicit or otherwise disturbing, hentai ads have been allowed on general pages thus far. If this makes many users uncomfortable, I will bring it up internally. If you were referring to the ad series many other users reported though, it has been removed.

I like MAL, so I decided to whitelist, but the first page I whitelisted, this showed up: https://i.gyazo.com/5fe9e957e5337555c67116dd8f96f99a.png

This is why I use Adblock.

Ads like this are strong ads that I am likely to click on, and will gladly tolerate. I personally think they add to the site/content (no pun intended).

Anyway:
