It appears that Flo has invaded the Spiceworks ad system. These ads are all over my screen today (including at the top of this page as I type my message.

Hey Glenn, thanks for bringing this to our attention! Let me dig a little bit into this and get back to you all soon.

Hey Glenn, wanted to thank you again for pointing this out. Just talked with @timh-spiceworks and he helped get it resolved (as in he did all the work, I just did the complaining, heh). Looks like Geico was coming through a category (via our ads) that they shouldn’t have. He’s blocked that one (and another we found) so it shouldn’t occur again moving forward.
If any of you see anything more, just let us know! We want to ensure not only are you getting a good (ad and overall) experience in the Community, but a relevant one.

Oh good!
Flo and I disagreed after I borrowed her “Name your Price” tool. I used it and then they renamed my price as “impossible”.

Yes. I’m not a big fan of Flo either. Or any other annoying commercial personality.
Thanks, Sean. I appreciate you keeping Spiceworks IT spicy.

MAINSTRIKE:
Rather than start a new thread, I thought I’d just tag onto this one.
You may need to revisit the categorization thing again…
Edit: I didn’t see that this was cross posted to Spiceworks Advertising. I originally got to it through Spiceworks Community Support and then noticed there were other, more recent threads in the Advertising forum. Oh well. I’ll know to post in one of those messages next time.
Hey @clutka , do you mind if I move your post to this topic?
It’s a more up-to-date topic about ads but I also want to call out this post by me in it since it’s part of that convo:

Go ahead and move it, move it.
On mobile otherwise I’d insert a King Julien meme or YouTube link.
Thanks! You should get the “migration” notice in a moment and it should point you to: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/post/8799848
