Reporting Inappropriate Ads

If you find an ad on your site that is patently offensive, you believe contains malware, or links to pornographic content you can let us know about it so we can remove it from the network. Keep in mind that Wetpaint cannot remove specific ads on a site by site basis.

Using Firebug to Inspect an Ad

Attention Firefox users!
If you are a Firefox user, we recommend you install the Firebug add-on and use it to inspect a specific ad. The code that this will reveal will allow Wetpaint to identify which ad network is serving the ad so we can take action more quickly.
