Andy has already stated that he is less than happy with the size of the Crypto ad and has expressed his displeasure to the Ad department at Warners. Remember Andy has no direct control of these ads, all he can do is get his Sh!tty stick out to try to beat sense into them. Premium is a quid a month and helps to support this great resource and makes the google ads etc go away. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 If Digitrains are paying for their ad space, I bet hey'll be pretty hacked off by their ads... being replaced by ads dressed up as news reports... about Binance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwmtwrch Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Binance was banned from all regulated activity in the UK last year by the FCA over serious concerns about safety of customers given the complexity of its offered investments, fraud and money laundering risks and lack of customer protection, so anything it does here now is knowingly entirely unregulated. I also have a suspicion that it is not acceptable in the UK to have advertisements masquerading as news reports - perhaps we should ask the ASA? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Pete Haitch Posted December 13, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2022 Snow meant that my weekly get together, with friends, breakfast butty and 2 large coffees; was cancelled yesterday, saving £11.47. It makes the £12.00 I've just spent on premium membership seem rather good value. 3 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My conscience is not for sale. My paying for ad-free would not affect what anyone else, registered or not, adult or child, aware of the risks of crypto currencies or not, will see when accessing this site - you do realise that these ads are visible to everyone who accesses the site, unless they are registered and paying for ad-free, and those who are not registered users have no opt-out available to them? Ads I can live with, but I expect some sort of social responsibility in their selection. Edited December 14, 2022 by Cwmtwrch 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, I don't imagine that Andy - or anyone else connected with Warners - would exactly choose to have ads like the ones you describe polluting their website. Unfortunately, some people, somewhere, make a business of attacking other people's sites - forcing website owners etc to dedicate lots of time to trying to frustrate their efforts. Whilst on the subject of "dedication", I could imagine that a number of legitimate website owners might welcome any chance to "dedicate certain ads to" the jerks responsible. Of course, the word "dedicate" is used here in the Anglo Saxon sense - of "roughly inserting" the ads ... errm ... somewhere the sun doesn't shine. And on that bombshell, I'm certain that Andy likes that stuff even less than we do - not only does he not like it - but he's also got to instigate steps to deal with it. I hope we can all realise this - and give him a break. Thanks, guys. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I haven't seen an ad on RMweb for a few days. I think they stopped appearing about the time the wish list poll banner appeared? Are we having a Christmas grace period? Pity the wish-list poll making it's annual appearance, hasn't stopped wish list threads thinly veiled as general topics popping up elsewhere on RMweb.

But we will continue to see/hear from them, while they continue to make millions from their story of how they felt 'forced' to leave the UK - endlessly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
