Ban Picrew links (please read the whole thing before saying support/semi support/no support)

most of you might have inappropriate ads on picrew

i'm getting these ads, and i'm using a school chromebook so i can't install an adblocker to get rid of it

(can't post an image because i'm a new scratcher, if anyone is getting ads like that can you post it)

? ? ? so It's an art website huh then.

unmissable

I've literally never heard of people on scratch using picrew before

I think it’s just the advertisers (the people behind the sussy ads) who decided to put their ads on Picrew, not Picrew themselves (unless I’m wrong)

I think you can report ads to google though.

The entire point of the suggestion is to stop people from seeing these ads in the first place. Reporting the ads will just have another take its place, so it's much easier to ban the site.

What if the ads aren’t reportable, though? That can be a problem

What if, instead of posting an image, you posted a link to an image? (be sure to censor any exceptionally inappropriate parts of the ad first though)

i can't to these sketchy ads, they don't have the x button on it

Support. I’ve seen people posting links to picrew, so the inappropriate ads could appear and cause trouble on Scratch.

I support. I’ve seen a lot of Picrew profile pics. When someone asks where the pfp is from, they will search up Picrew and view bad content.

Picked uses Google Ads, IIRC. As such, using this logic, we should ban any site using google ads.

What would be an example of a site that uses Google Ads and is allowed to link?
