Auto Playing Video Ads with Sound

[P3te]

First time I've happened upon this one before, but had an ad start playing with video and sound a second ago. The ad link directed here http://www.tourismemonttremblant.com/en/deals-packages/details/best-summer-deal/?utm_source=Acquisio&utm_medium=Banners&utm_campaign=BigHit2014-Toronto-GEN

 

I'm all for ads keeping the site going, and I've donated in the past when I could as well as disabling ad block for this site, but auto playing audio is no bueno IMO from any site anywhere. Given that ads are most likely being served in from a third party I get that there's  likely little control that you guys have over it before issues arise, but it'd be swell if you could request a non-serve on that particular ad if possible?

Any chance you could post a screenshot featuring the Ad? Or a description of it?

Got redirected this morning to some moonking games website? Didn't click on anything, it just auto directed me there.

[Ingram85]

Oh sorry, I thought this was the adware topic.

[limpid]

To the OP, you say video in the topic title and audio in your message, is it both?

[P3te]

Yup, it was an autoplaying video with the audio unmuted

 

It's not happened again yet, but if and when it does I'll screengrab it

[limpid]

P3te, looking at the lack of responses in this thread it looks like this might just be you. Let's see if it happens again.

[P3te]

The ads may be served geographically, and I'm probably the only one in Toronto at the moment anyway

Has it happened again?

[P3te]

Nope, still nothing, but not been on the site all that much the last few days. Looks like it was a once off!

[P3te]

That looks like a youtube ad. What happens after the ad finishes?

[limpid]

Actually, I've made it so only guests see that ad.

This was happening to me too so I rubbed coconut oil all over my computer, and, since then, I've had no problems.

I've heard that can happen.

I started doing this, but couldn't remember why so not sure if it worked now as I haven't eaten a sandwich since purple monkey dishwasher.

Please don't use coconut oil instead of anti-virus software.
