Well perhaps you should get your story straight because on this page: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/329763/were-testing-advertisements-across-the-network https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/329763/were-testing... which is being prominently announced in a yellow "featured on Meta" box you can read: "If you see any ads that are inappropriate or have any questions about this experiment, please let me know by starting a new question and tagging it with advertising" and "If you wish to report an advertisement, please take a screenshot of the ad and paste the URL (if possible) along with the site where you saw it to a comment or answer. I'll report it to the ads team and we can track it down to investigate." Screenshots? Start a new question with a tag? Track it down? Shouldn't you cut to the chase and have a "report this ad" button built-in so you can immediately be alerted to malware/abusive/inappropriate ads? Perhaps it's not moderators who have the power here. As a non-moderator/employee I couldn't care less what you call the people who do it; it seems entirely inadequate. Run the ads now and if enough people complain or it gets embarrassing - like google and/or microsoft spying on users - then publish a theatrical apology. No, that doesn't work for me. No, my ad-blocker is never coming off.
