I've had several "policy violation" emails this week, mostly related to old message board threads that I guess Google has decided not to like; eg, one thread from 2 years ago complaining about a strip club in a neighboring county, and another thread from 8 years ago asking for reviews on the local gun shop.

When I check the Policy Center, it says "Must fix: no". and "Ad serving status: Restricted demand".

These threads are loaded via MySQL, so there's not a page that I can simply remove ads or anything; to do so, I would need to write some code in the header to remove ads if the ID# is whatever.

What would you guys do? Since it say that I don't HAVE to fix it, should I just ignore it? Or should I be reactive every day and remove ads programmatically in anticipation of a future policy change?

I'm also concerned that Google might go further and start punishing the page that lists the threads. Meaning, the list is at:

example.com/forum

and it's enumerated in pages, so at:

example.com/forum?page=2000

there's a subject of, "Is this a good gun store?" And the intro says, "I'm looking for a good place to buy guns and ammo. What do you think of Joe Blow's Gun Shop?"

I'm concerned that Google could arbitrarily start restricting ads on example.com/forum because of the reference to guns and ammo in the link. Losing ads on a thread from 8 years ago makes no difference to me at all, but losing them on the full list page would be a HUGE loss!
