  Hello,
  I am a high school teacher and I use the wordpress blog to support my students. There are ads, that is fine. But I had a student receive an ad that said “WILL I LEAK WHEN I HAVE SEX” when they tried to use my site to access school work yesterday. This is totally inappropriate: I would appreciate if wordpress would please remove sexually explicit ads from my website. Anyone know who I should contact to make this happen?
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Different people in different places/countries see different ads. I see “get rich quick scheme” ads on your site. If you see an inappropriate advert there should be a “report this ad” link at its bottom right corner.
  The only way to ensure that no ads display is by upgrading to a Personal plan.

  Hi –

  Thanks so much for reporting this. We’re looking in to it. For the time being ads are disabled on your site until it’s sorted.

  We don’t serve adult content ads. Ever. This means that the ads are coming from another source, like an infected network or malware.

  @amarsh2 We’re also going to reach out via email so you can send a screenshot of the ad in hopes to determine its source. Talk to you soon!
