What the heck is Evony?

[bugface711]

The ads run on a rotation and although the site ownwers are very specific that they want relevant, appropriate content, sometimes things get put into the rotation that should not.
The ads are one of the ways the site is able to be free for all of us. If ads in general bother you, you can get the no ad subscription like asweetheart said above.
If you see something that is not appropriate for the site, there are a few options. Use the contact us link or send a private message to our site owners queenofthehivemomof4 or hotcouponmama or send a pm to our admin SBP. They have now been informed of the issue with this ad.

For those of you who have been around long enough, I would hope you know that nothing innapropriate would be put on here on purpose.

I do pay for the no ad subscription and recommend it to everyone.

I don't like the Evony ad either. I've seen it somewhere else, but I don't remember where. I am glad to know, though, that others are seeing it so I know my computer hasn't been infiltrated by something.

Hey guys I am very sorry for any ads that have been displayed that are inappropriate.

We do not pick and choose most of the ads that are displayed on our site. We use a couple of ad networks and they automatically deliver ads based on the content of our site, also certain advertisers can bid their ads on our site via the ad network (google) and we do not get to approve them before they are shown. However we do have the ability to block the ads and I am trying to find these ads so that we can block them from the appropriate ad network. I have not seen any of these ads myself so am having a hard time finding out what they are.

If anyone can help me by sending me a private message that includes the link of the ad as well as the location on our site (top center, left side, bottom) that would be most helpfull.

Additionally if you ever see an ad that you think is inappropriate please use the contact us link found at the bottom of each and every page here at Hotcouponworld. That is the fastest way to bring something like this to our attention. Only one member contacted us this AM and I want to say thank you to her.

If any of you need help with finding this, here is a link to the FAQ to help you out: FAQ

Thanks for the info on what to do if we ever see anything in the future & for acting so quickly to resolve this :) I've been on here for a year & this is the 1st time I've ever seen anything like that. :)

Heidi and Kristen,
As usual, you guys are the best! Thanks for replying, explaining and acting promptly. You could have easily just blown us off and said we should just get the paid subscription. This was handled in the great HCW way I've come to love and expect. Thank you for who you are and for having a safe site with integrity and high standards. Again, you are the best (and Julie!)!

I don't see the ad anymore and Smokey the Bear never looked so good!

This is how I feel also. Thank you ladies!

Thanks guys for your patience. I think we have gotten them blocked now. We don't all see the same ads either I never saw any of the mentioned ads except for the talking box one. If you see something that is shady/too provocative or offensive PLEASE contact us and we will look into it. The ads keep HCW free for everyone but we sure don't want junk either.
