    If you can read this, that means you are a co-op ad network reviewer (well okay... if you want to get technical forum moderators can get in here too). So this is the place to put any questions about specific ads, reporting possible cheaters, etc. (this is better than PMing me them individually).

    You can thank Fryman for the idea... :)

    Shawn,

    This is a good idea (even if it was Fryman's :) ).

    I've passed over reviewing several ads because I wasn't sure if they were compliant and I didn't want to bother you - my apologies to the other reviewers.

    One thing I've noticed is a large volume of scraped MFA sites coming into the network. Has it always been at this level?

    That is exactly the reason why I asked Shawn to create this board. Same thing happens to me.

    I hope all the other reviewers can post here so we can get to know who they are and then we can start posting our point of views about what kind of ads are we going to accept and which not.

    Yeah cool idea to have this - ensures some kind of consistency beyond what the TOS lays out.

    Well, generally it's probably not a good idea to start making judgement calls regarding the quality of a site. The MFA sites are lame IMO, but that's just it... it's just my opinion.

    As far as enforcing other companies terms of service, that's not really our job either. If someone is running AdSense on a site that follows the ad network guidelines, but not some other entity (AdSense for example), that's ultimately between them and Google.

    I certainly wouldn't expect AdSense to disallow a site because it didn't follow the guidelines of the ad network.

    5 days later and only 4 people have posted here... no wonder there is such a huge amount of pending ads to be reviewed.

    Shawn, so you check every now and then if the reviewers are actually working? This is starting to look like DMOZ

    Oops, it took me 86 days to see this forum though I do review ads a little bit more frequently than that :).

    lol! Can't believe you didn't notice it... makes me wonder if the other reviewers have, since only a few have posted here.

    Anyway... have you guys seen the mega list of pending sites?? Makes me dizzy just to look at it... and I couldn't log into my account today because I was getting an MSQL error. Hope it is fixed now

    I generally check my CP, forums I'm really interested in and then watch New Posts. I only found it because there was a post on the 'New Posts' page that took my interest. It's probably worth PMing all reviewers just as a heads up.

    One hour of browsing later and pending list is now at zero :)
