I may be over reacting to this, but I trust you Duers, so I'm going to ask here. After all, there's no way I'm searching for an answer to this -- not with the NSA out there!
So, I am a bit of a gamer and I was looking around yesterday for some mods (for the uninitiated, mods are programmatic modifications that players will make to an existing game). Well, I stumbled across a site for "adults only" mods and I admit I was curious and started poking around. Some of them were freaking hilarious, but that's another story. Some people have a LOT of times on their HANDS, if you know what I mean.
Of course, this site had ads and they were what I would expect at first. But then ... there was one with CLEARLY underage people in them -- CHILDREN. Not just "oh I'm barely 18" or whatever. I know the site is just using an ad service to get revenue, so I doubt they condone it (in fact, they don't allow any child-related mod content on their site and I guess ban people who ask for it), but I was really disturbed. Is there any way I can report it? Should I bother? I was just thinking maybe of at least letting the site owners know. They may not be aware.
Does anyone have an advice? I guess as techy as I am I'm sort of a newb when it comes to "that side" of the internet, lol. Maybe this just happens all the time.
