They do not get preapproved by chess.com.  Ads are served from many sources. 

Read this thread on how to report them: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/help-support/audio-ads-or-other-yucky-things-please-report

Ads follow your activity. If you look at porn, or even search for it, you will get ads for it.

If you don't believe that, try searching for something that you don't usually search for. Maybe skiing holidays in Japan, or beer in Germany. You will be flooded with ads for sites selling it.

Even if you think about it, so I've heard.

However, I am currently getting L'Oreal's "Are you obsessed about thicker hair?" ad. Yes, I have thick hair but I am NOT obsessed about it. I don't even THINK about it on a daily basis. Yell

Yea, I get loads of adds about gaming "for adult men ONLY.
" What??? I only play two computer games and they are clearly not the type of sexy-breasts-and-kissing adds that I get. Oviously it was an add that slipped through. but anyway. Get an add that has slipped through and you get 1-month free membership!

I don't see any ads. How come? I have nothing like Adblock.

fburton, I have no hair and  think about it on a lunar basis. I'm happier knowing that porn ads are streamed my way because of my thought process and not hair ads, although I wouldn't mind terribly having to buy a comb! Smile

When I was a free member I used to receive ads of Spanish lessons. I've never searched for them in the internet.

Avatar of NewArdweaden

I get ads about getting rid of wrinkles, losing weight and cheap plane tickets? Something is definitely wrong here.

Avatar of Pulpofeira

Yes, all of those things are not possible.
