Advertising providers, and advertising _publishers_, who forward "bad ads" are given a time-out.
Perhaps 10 minutes for the first instance, but increasing durations for repeat ocurrences. Days, weeks, and months for repeated gratuitious violations.
Ad providers and publishers who find they're being timed out for violating standards are, likely, going to clean up their acts, and find ways to ensure that mistakes _don't_ happen. Including direct vetting of content.
If Google don't block ads, I will.
Oh, wait, I already do that. But the rest of the Net is still catching up.
I'd like to see Google take this one step further: author and publisher (as in advertising network) accountability.
