There's a very noticeable red "Report Ad" link in the site footer (shows up on every page). If you get a malicious ad, please click it. It will send us every bit of info possible about the ads that are on the page when you clicked, which can help us get rid of the ad very quickly.


I don't understand why ads aren't pre-screened before appearing on the website?


Ads typically are. The problem is that because ads run on an auction model with a lot of new ads/advertisers coming in, it gets harder to stop people who are really dedicated conserving a bad ad.

As an example, one of the common practices is to screen an ad by running it in a sandbox environment before it even reaches the page. But people running bad ads have gotten wise to this and will send info for a more innocuous ad to get past the sandbox sandbox, then send the bad ad once they get through.
