Spoiler: How to ...

Hi. Due to the recent increase in the amount of bad ads, and since each day that passes the management of ads becomes more and more complex for Wuxiaworld due to the amount of networks it works with, we've decided to add a small guide on how to report them.

In the past it would be enough for people to tell us there was a bad ad for us to check and try to correct the problem. Even that held true when a dedicated team started to be the responsible of that task. But recently (and not so recently probably) the complexity makes it nearly impossible to isolate and identify the offending ads that may get served. This basically means that the posts created at the forums are not nearly as useful as they used to be, and even if we inform the adops team, they may be unable to do anything without further information.


And how can you do to report ads then? Well, it's actually not much harder, so here it goes:

1. You need to write an email to [email protected]
2. You have to add the important information, like platform, OS, browser and country of origin.
3. You should provide them with information about the redirects that happened. This is basically just sharing the last webs you visited, from the browser's history. Only the ones that happened since you visited wuxiaworld till you were redirected. We do not want you to disclose your browsing history for us or anything, just the necessary bits. Most of the time, an screenshot suffices.
4. That's it unless for some reason they request further information, but if that happens, it probably means this guide needs to be updated.

The message doesn't have to be extremely formal or anything, as long as it contains the information required it's fine. As an example:

Hi guys, I've been getting redirected to domain XWY.COM whenever I visit Wuxiaworld from my mobile phone. I use Android and Chrome as the browser. Here is the browsing history from the time the redirect happened.

1- http://www.wuxiaworld.com/sfl-index/skyfire-lane-chapter-1/ (The page you were reading. Skyfire avenue is an awesome novel btw xD)
2- domain-1.com?redirect_to=xxxxxxxxxx&uid=xxxxxx&whatever
3- domain-2.com?redirect_to=xxxxxxxxxx&uid=xxxxxx&whatever
4- domain-3.com?redirect_to=xxxxxxxxxx&uid=xxxxxx&whatever
5- XWY.COM?campaign (This is the domain you are being redirected to)

Regards,
Extremely attractive sysadmin
And that should be all. Sorry for the extra trouble, but this is kind of a necessary step in order to improve the response time when ads with redirects are being served. Of course if you believe it's useful, you can always post at the forums, since that also helps us to gauge the impact of the issue.

 

I am wondering if I am not the only one that gets redirected away from WW.
Clearing the cache seems to be a suggested solution, but after trying that thrice in one day, I think that solution is out...
Adblock isn't an option on phone, anyone else got any ideas?

 

Turn off javascript

Some things might not work, like spoiler title will be open etc. But disabling javascript wont show any ad and if you had lag you won't have it after disabling.

Its easy to disable i'm using google chrome.

 

Use a browser with built-in adblock (or that doesn't support the redirects) like Opera, just for WW.

 

Read on Qidian instead? Jk don't kill me

 

i usually switch over to adblock browser when reading on my phone and that happens to me, not sure if thats the best one but it does the job.

 

You should get a adblock browser such as UC browser, opera, chrome, etc.

Even if you don't get redirected, the video ads will suck your data and if they reload auto-scroll. It's just smart to have adblock.

 

kill you? you wish....we will just cut your little brother....

 

If you want it that much i can send you a lifelike replica.

 

i thought it was a needle....

 

Very useful for accupuncture, it can even penetrate Immortal physiques!

 

well, send it to cupcakeninja.....i don't need it....

 

I've never had any such problems...Though having said that, I'm currently writing this from Firefox 26 with NoScript so...
Even on mobile, the only problems I've ever had with ads on WW are the ones that are auto-playing videos, which interrupt any audio I might be playing at the time. The bigger issue is just that my phone absolutely hates the website. Constantly refreshes itself due to some problem or other, and the constant reloads + whatever is causing them just destroy my battery life... but I digress.
