Sometimes those ads that we get in this site are not what they claim. I researched one of them and here is what I found. The ad was for whiter teeth. A mother had discovered a new cost effective way for whiter, brighter teeth: www.news28online.com/?sub=RCP-z63 Note the promotion expiry date when you go to the site. For me, when I went there it was: " Promotion expires on 11:59 p.m. EST, Tuesday February 16, 2010" Do you think that might be an attempt to make you order quickly? But don't worry, Cathy recommends this! Yeah, right... Don't be fooled. The help number of 1-800-951-6176 is multi-functional and serves many, many products. I suggest typing that number into a search engine to see the thousands of complaints that have been generated over full-billing and ahead of the prescribed time frame. Some have been charged hundreds in excess. Cancellation is difficult if not impossible. The only sure way is to cancel your credit card. Can you imagine the difficulty getting charges reversed or obtaining a refund for a company whose address is: Torcom Ltd., Nikou Georgiou 42, Strovolos, Agios Dimitrios P.C. 2023, Nicosia, CyprusDo your due diligence before purchasing these trial orders and read the terms and conditions very carefully before ordering...most are just nice looking scams... |

How much does that cost to have the ad's removed? 7 dollars/month I have done this before on another board I own and Its kind of nice not having the ads, but I really wonder if $7/month is something someone would feel led to do? My personal opinion is to just ignore the ads, but sometimes its impossible. |

Ad Quality - Reporting Tool
ProBoards is committed to providing the highest quality service with the least intrusive advertising of any free forum host. We know that you don't like ads that play audio, cause popup windows, or expand across the page without you taking any action -- and we don't like them or allow them.
Recently we have had a couple issues with advertisements being displayed on forums that violate our rules. In order to effectively stop these types of ads, we have added a new tool for you to report inappropriate ads on your forum.
If while browsing your forum you see an advertisement that violates our rules, you can report it by pressing CTRL + ALT + R on your keyboard. This will bring up a "Report Advertisement Problem" page where you can submit your complaint directly to ProBoards for us to investigate. It will send us key information about the ad so that we can effectively identify it and block it.
With your help, we can make ProBoards a better place for everyone. Thank you for using ProBoards!
