Hi again. 
You may of no doubt noticed the content being advertised on these google banners? I just wondered wether there is anyway these can limited to what they can advertise/show. I persume google can do this? Its just that alot of forums do cater for younger ages and i don't think these arab/gay dating adverts are acceptable  . Especially if your forum caters for something completely differant.?
Just wondered what can be done?

I note it is not simply dating adverts you are complaining about! |
Good greif!  personal attack at someone making an opinion which i might add we are all entitled to do..
The question was more focused on wether it can be "toned down" which was possibly the more logical answer to that question anyway.Ie:- maybe or not google could limit the number of times its displayed? There's another possible answer.Which you failed to mention.. I don't have a personal problem with it. I don't see why its being advertised everytime you refresh the page. Someone might jump to wrong conclusion "eh admin"..

You can't limit number of displays, all we can do is ban certain advertisers outright, which we will do if they are plainly of a too adult nature. Dating ads do not cross that limit as a rule.
You can always bend the adverts you see on a forum by ensuring the forum header contains good keywords for your actual subject.
