Urgent! Please help find the adult images in the forum!

[Winston]

Hi all,
Adsense is still blocked from this site due to adult images that still reside on here. I have removed all the ones I could find. But they are saying that there's still more. Can you all try to help me find them or track them down?

Here is their email to me about why my appeal was rejected.

Hello,

Check out Pinaylover's recent Philippine trip report. There might have been one or two small ones there.

Thanks. I found one in his thread and removed it.

Is there some program or tool that can detect porn images or scan a whole site for them?

[Winston]

I just resubmitted the appeal. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Can any of you please help me find any remaining adult content on this site?

Thanks.

[Winston]

Darn. The appeal was denied again. Why can't anyone here help me find the offending URL's? Maybe I should just remove ads from the forum. Here is the denial letter I got from Google.

Maybe they don't want any images with bikinis.

I interpret that as saying it doesn't have to be any mature or adult images or videos. It could be text or discussions. Labeling promiscuous girls as "sluts," talking about anything that has to do with sex or p4p, or discussing hoes could all be included in that. Any girl with a bikini, or their thong showing could also be interpreted as mature. Some people Google probably are targeting the site based on it's message.

Sometimes if a website is declined, the probability is that it might keep being declined just because the service feels it can. The list mentions five different points but those are examples. It's so broad that the employees at Google can expand it to include anything they really want: bikinis, an image with a thong strap showing, text or discussions that involve sex, p4p, hoes, or "slut."

I don't believe there are any images with nudity, strategically covered nudity, or sheer clothing anywhere.

I remember theprimebait might have posted some images with nudity but those were deleted.

Maybe you should call and speak with a representative? They aren't exactly telling you what the problem is and as I mentioned, what they are saying is very broad. It could just be a vendetta against the site to censor it. Is Google AdSense the best ad provider? There are many alternative ad providers if it doesn't get re-approved.

Tsar,
Those are all possibilities. But I've gotten Adsense to reinstate this site several times before when this happened. So I doubt it's a personal vendetta.

However, I just found an additional 10 adult images in this forum, so they were right. I found a resourceful way to find them.

I went to Google Images at http://images.google.com and entered "happierabroad.com" in the search box to pull up many images from the forum.

Then from there I found about a dozen offending images and when I clicked on them, it took me directly to the forum pages they were on.

Since none of you would help me, I had to resort to my own resourcefulness in finding another way. I am Mr. Resourceful after all. That's why I'm good at finding ways to win in chess or scrabble using deeper strategies.

Anyway, I hope it works this time. But just in case, I removed ads from the forum content just in case, to meet one of their options: Removing ads from pages with offending content.

I've tried all those Adsense alternatives before but they don't pay anywhere near as much. At most they only pay $1 a day, most of the time less.

I get the sense that an auto-bot or program is doing the screening and reviews of sites for adult content though.

You can't call Google. They are one of the few companies with no public phone number. I can email their support though. But I want to save that as a last resort, for personal reasons.

Well I got Adsense back to this site. But I had to do it by removing ads from this forum. You will only see them on a few pages. I'm not sure if I should put the ads back on all the content pages though. I'll see first if they are still profitable without being displayed in the forum. And then go from there.

[Winston]

Oh man. I am so exhausted. I just spent hours finding more adult images in the forum and removing them or moving the threads to NSFW.

I went to Google Images again and in the search field entered "happierabroad.com" + some adult keywords. When I did so, many more adult images came up, more than I thought. Most of them were posted by Jamesbond or djfourmoney and others. There were links to porn sites too like xhamster and xvideos. I searched with every keyword I could think of where adult images might be.

I also used Yahoo Images and Bing Images to search for adult images here as well. Such image search engines are very helpful in tracking down any adult images here that are in violation of Google.

This took hours. Now I'm so exhausted. Whew. Oh well. At least I did something productive. Now I can be assured that most likely, all the forum content is no longer in violation of adult images anymore.

I've placed the Google ads back on the forum, by the way, in case you haven't noticed.
