Ads on Wetpaint Pages
Apr 6 2010, 1:26 AM EDT | Post edited: Apr 6 2010, 1:26 AM EDT
I have noticed that some ads have popped up on my site that I personally would deem as offensive/inapproite. Since I realize that Wetpaint needs to make a profit somehow and ads are the logical choie, I think that wetpaint should give you the option, but not the requierment, of choosing which ads pop up onto your wetpaint website.

I look forward to the reply of a Wetpaint Moderator/administrator about the ads that pop up on our websites.

Having been a moderator twice on WPC, I feel that I may be able to help with you inquiry. Wetpaint deals with several different ad distributors, each of which can supply thousands of ads. Wetpaint diligently monitors for inappropriate ads. They also are very responsive to investigating inappropriate ads reported by the community. If you can identify the particular ads you find offensive, please send a message to jeremy_wetpaint.

Some of the ads are derived from "Hint Words". These hint words are created from the category selected at the time of your site creation. You may alter the type of ads being displayed on your wiki, by changing the category of you wiki. To see a list of the hint words used in the different categories along with instructions on how to change the category of your site follow the link below. For most of my wikis, I found the category that provides little offense when it comes to ads is the Auto category.
Here is a link to Splats2 for further details.
