Can a suggestion be made that mods test the adverts on mobile phones on common browsers before accepting them?! 

No, because that's not how ads work almost ever. Usually ads are pulled through an ad network, which pushes whatever ads it deems acceptable for the site. That's also why ads can even be a security risk, because if bad guys get a virus-infected ad on an ad network, it could appear on a ton of sites. Of course it's rare, but it's happened on some sites. I think I even remember there being reports of something like that happening here, although it was fixed quite quickly and I don't know if those were false alarms.

Anyway, the bottom line is that usually the ads come from somewhere else. It's extremely rare for ads to be accepted on a site one by one.

Us mods don't have any say in the ads. Don't blame us

What about the administrators? Do Trucks and Machina have any say?

More say than us. But that's also limited. I believe they can get rid of the more shitty ads like that you mentioned. But don't quote me on that, I may be wrong

The text is jumping up and down when large and small ads reload! Super annoying.

This happens on PC as well. Shit, it happened before I could finish that first sentence, and then twice more.

I don't mind, as I just use adblock

I only get irked when the malware popups come

Not apologising for the rage. For about a week now the site has these huge ads that pop up taking over 80%+ of real estate on your mobile screen. Some of them cannot be closed. The others have the tiniest 'x' hidden away that is impossible to hit due to bad detection and it being so small. 

 

Yes, I could use anther browser outside of Chrome, but I shouldn't need to change my browser for the sake of one single site.

They are really bad, that I only view this site when I have adblocker and noscript, but we mods don't have any control over these ads whatsoever :/

There is a supporter program that disables the ads. Don't know if it's any good, but if you want to stop them... at the top under members, supporter program. http://www.vgchartz.com/supporters.php#content

No idea if it works well or not... but don't think anyone mentioned it in this thread yet.



Full screen ads that vibrate your phone are the worst. Get your act together vgchartz, your site is atrocious on mobile.



My 8th gen collection

Decided to do a supporter option... Not that they were ever much of an annoyance for me, but am enjoying the no ads.
