If you thought the survey questions were bad, this one is even worse.
And this is not meant to be an affront. These things are important for the site's business and to keep things going. But this new America's Cup ad is freaking insane. It just starts playing sound and video automatically! I press the X-button but it still keeps dropping down and playing anyway!
Is there a way to turn it off or something?
We've already alerted our IT team, Jeffrey. Turn down the volume on your computer for now, and take a deep breath.
Trust me, we're not going to stand for stuff that's completely intrusive. The questions were a way to not have to receive ads like this. But we don't get to sign off on everything before it rolls out. However, we are on it.
Thank you John. I see the America's Cup ad has already been fixed. Thanks so much for hearing me out.
Totally understandable, mainly wanted to let you guys know since it is incredibly obtrusive and keeps readers from enjoying the site more

Just to add to the discussion, I've already gotten used to the questions and don't really mind them anymore. But the America's Cup ad was like . . . banana pants.
Believe me, if we see something is straight f---ed up, we're going to b----, too. We're not sure how that slipped in to our system, honestly. But it definitely doesn't fit what we're willing to allow.
If stuff like that does hapoen, don't freak out - I promise we'll get it fixed. Feel free to bring it to our attention but know that no one is trying to let the site turn to crap.
