  SHRUDE:

  Keep in mind this isnt physically posted by WGT 

  They sell the space, the advertisers, fill the content.

  Thats not totally true otherwise their would be pornography. WGT loves to pass the buck but bottom line is this ...Its their site and therfore must take full responsibility for all that happens on it . The question is who is in charge of over seeing the 3rd party people who buy this space and who looks at the content before it is paid for and posted.

  They dont just sell the space and turn the other cheek. That is illegal.

  My Goodness WGT,,

  PLEASE! Hire new MODERATORS. To let this post continue the way it did as long as it did fits the title perfectly - "Complete lack of taste". BUT - The title should actually read - "WGT - A terrible choice of moderators".

  I think you are wrong, the ads go up instantly based on your browsing history, a  while back I was looking into drill sharpening machine online and when I came on the WGT 5 minutes after  every ad was for the drill doctor.

  Didn't see the ad here, but it sounds like the same one I saw via the Washington Post. I can't say it's in poor taste, but rather addressed to gun violence and the creepy love of guns which together are wrecking America. There may be some strange twist to the ad (which I did not investigate further) as I noticed it was called Mayors Against Illegal Guns, whereas the problem America has is all the legal guns. In terms of playing the ad on WGT, the problem with the ad is that it is political and therefore does not suit the terms & conditions for WGT. We need to keep politics out of the forums, but also out of the banner ads.

  I am sure in their agreement with the advertisers there are T's & C's which cover that as well as other things like religion/ politics.

  So If I surf porn sites those are gonna pop up ? So basically WGT is snooping into your computer and using your personal info for ads ?

  Its ok to think I am wrong but I know better .

  But like I said someone has to oversee this to make sure those rules are being followed before it goes up on the site no ?

  Only WGT knows and they dont seem interested in enforcing rules in this forum at times so yes I guess that makes sense they dont do it for their advertisers either . :)
