Excessive advertising takeovers on mobile
Lately, I've been getting an absurd amount of ads popping up/taking over my screen when just navigating the forums or reading a thread on my mobile device. I'm not accidentally clicking/touching them, so they're being auto-redirected to some lame site congratulating me for winning something bait-y. Attached are two screenshot example.
When trying to use the browser's back button, if you only press once, it simply reloads the spammy ad. If you press twice, it jumps you back two screens ago; too far. Can we please fix this?

Thanks for reporting this and I will send it over to the ad team to find the issue. If it comes up again let me know which specific game it redirects to as it might help locate who is responsible.
