  Every time I log into my blog and go to the dashboard to add something to a post or page I am deluged by advertisements by someone called Freecoder that you have allowed onto the blog.
  It is stopping me operating the blog normally as it will not allow me to do any work on the blog.
  What is happening? you are just pissing off everyone who has a free blog from you and because of this you sure as hell will not get anyone upgrading.
  At one time you had a great system but now the blogs are rubbish because of the adverts and I am sure I am not the only one complaining,
  You need to listen to your users.

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

  Hi there,

  While we do sometimes run ads on blogs to keep services free on WordPress.com, please note that WordPress.com does not place pop-up ads on any sites and the ads of the nature you are describing are not permitted in our advertiser’s network.

  Please note that it’s possible for ads to appear in your browser that were not placed there by WordPress.com. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus on your PC, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.

  These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:
