Newsbox rating issues. [solved?]

Post by Luprand »

So in the comic ratings thing, here's my data as it's listed:

Comic Rating: Web PG
Nudity: Skin/Cleavage (tight clothes)
Sexual content: Clean
Violence: Slapstick
Language: Clean
Options: No Opt-out (ComicGenesis will run only ads that are the same rating or lower)

So how come when, in a moment of ego-satisfaction, I looked at my comic and got a newsbox ad for "Elle and her Friends: 18+"?

On the bright side, at least I'm not getting that Spare Change ad with what's-her-breasts flashing my readers.

From memory, I think that you need to pm the user/mod "Mercury Hat" for any of the ad-related queries / comments.

I know that for the ads there are only two groups (mature and not mature) so there are a few 'questionable' ads in circulation that are not really appropriate to G or PG comics.

But I thought that the CG Newsbox stuff did follow the ratings system.

Not sure who to talk to in order to get more information about the newsbox system...

I do think I've PMed the owner of that newsbox before and she says her comic rating is set to the appropriate level.

At this point, I think Kisai or Kelly might need to be contacted.

You did - I bugged you about that one a few months back, and you said you told them, and their newsbox stopped appearing on my PG rated site for a long time. I've just noticed it back too. Maybe the rating got unset?
