  Hi, I am your long time user. Recently, I discover some pornographic ad on my site. I find this kind of images very offensive. I wonder if you can give me an explanation which can support the usage of my site for such purpose. If I don’t hear from you by May 15th, I will stop using your site. I want to thank for your kind attention to this matter.
  Sincerely, Winson Chiu

  Have you disabled all your browser addons and extensions? WordPress.com places only family friendly ads. These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads: http://www.littletechiethings.com/2012/06/how-to-remove-ads-not-by-this-site.html http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/14/ads-on-wikipedia-your-computer-infected-malware/ http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/09/14/bloggers-beware-of-adware/

  Hi Winson. To what ad are are you referring? If somehow a pornographic ad was accidentally displayed on your site, it should be reported and removed (if it hasn’t been already).

  We do occasionally run ads in order to keep free services free. However ads of the nature you describe are not permitted in our advertiser’s network.

  I did not see that ad when visiting the site. If you do see an offensive ad again, please make a screenshot and upload it via Media -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard so we can take a look. We take this very seriously.

  Here’s how to make a screenshot:

  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, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.
