Extremely annoying advertisement

While browsing the site today I was confronted with an advertisement called "HighRisk powered by Stargames"  that beeped continually and displayed a highly distracting flashing bar. There was no way to turn it off but to refresh the page over and over until another ad was displayed. Now, I understand that non-premium users must cope with ads in return for not contributing to the site, but ads that make it impossible to concentrate on my games or listen to my music should not be allowed under any circumstance. Please remove this particular advertisement for the sake of your members.

Under the ad, there must be a "report ad" link. You can use that to help chess com eliminate the bad ones. I think that's the only way they can tell the ad server which ad to pull off. Remember that it's not chess.com who specifically chooses every individual ad, they work with ad servers and don't have absolute control over them.
