You can do whatever you please with him. As for me, I'm editing his title.
Allow me to tell you, with all due respect, that while I agree with you on the necessity of letting ads display properly, and on the irrationality and egoism of not doing so, it is my opinion that such measures speak poorly of you as a respectable authority, and probably aren't going to make him change his behaviour anyway.

But if he does nothing, he tacitly condones the behavior.

That aside, I'm still kind of confused why this was moved to the Site Support board.  Insight?

Then I retract of my previous comment.
Still, I feel uncomfortable when an authority acts in such a way.

Had this thread been about Google Ads in general, I would have left it in GD. But it was specifically about ads shown at HLP, so it was about HLP -> Site Support.

I was just posting an interesting correlation I had noticed, intended for humorous effect.

I wasn't really a plea to site administration or anything like that.

EDIT:  Meh, not really important anyway, I was just curious about the reasons for the move.

My ads have never played music, or sound.

Me thinks you need to clear your cache. And stop viewing pornographic websites or stop using Limewire.

You know, whichever.

If you block ads, then donate.

It's the least you can do.

Ya, same here.  I have never seen google ads do any music or sound even.

Though apparently according to Google thier ads can have music iff the user starts it.  That being said any ad that I have seen on HLP has always been an image ad (animated gif) or text ads never any flash:

@captain-custard: I would check to make sure the ads that you were complaining about actually are from Google, and your browser and/or computer has not been compromised with an ad generator.

Well, there were some ads that interpreted "mouseover" as an invitation to play sound. Bloody irritating, that was.

We should make an experiment to discover if there is a system behind all this ad stuff (which I guess there is), we all talk about some common topic and then check if the ads change accordingly.
Famous topics like... don't know... religion, death, evolution... boobs?

Maybe after knowing google ads can be modified, I can start to think of a way to beat Skynet
