Please refine forum qualifications

I run a large Bulletin Board that does not violate any TOS. However, I see some posts on here that would lead someone to believe bulletin boards are in violation of Adsense terms. I place my adsense ad on the top of every page available on my Bulletin Board. That is from the Home page, Sub Forums, Topics, and threads.

Anything wrong with it?

You can only really run into problems if members begin discussing the ads - "Hey, I got a great deal on one of the ads here" or "Wow, this thread is about XYZ and we've already got ads for XYZ showing here". That is the kind of thing that could be considered incitement of ads, because you (or your members) are drawing attention to them, which is not permitted.

Problems also exist if you have unspiderable session IDs without some sort of google hack, or on forum pages which require registration/login to view.

Many people have AdSense on forums without any problems.

I'm wondering if you mean on search results for the forum? Or perhaps thank-you and confirmation pages?

Jenstar: thanks for replying to that as I was wondering about the same.
I am mostly concerned about the 0.001% or so of the members of my music/entertainment site who are publishing 'almost adult related' content (I personally don;t think it's pornographic but somebody might see it like that) or members using 'violent' terms (being mad about politic etc.) - which is also against our own TOS - do you have any info what google's standpoint is regarding that issue? are they enforcing their TOS if 1 in 10000 of all pages are violating it?
