Re: How are they gonna know?
said by Kearnstd  :then dont pick ads that make people want to block them. take google ads for example, simple and non intrusive but they still pay the bills im sure. and they dont piss people off like those ones with sound and video, im a gamer and sometimes have my sound up and if i minimize to look something up on dont want your website shouting at me i have won a free ipod. I agree with that, some of the ads are just annoying. But we often don't have the ability to choose what ads are displayed.
But we still have bills to pay, and i really do fell like you are stealing when you block ads on my site. So ive started banning people who do it. |

Are you saying you are not responsible for your web site's content? If that's the case, then you need to get a handle on your content. Ad blockers exist because the ads are intrusive, offensive and downright viral in nature. Fix the ads, and the need for ad blockers will go away. |

I disagree sir, by shoving content I do not want into my face, you are stealing from me. You are stealing the bandwidth used to deliver it, the computer processing time used to display it and the time I wasted viewing it.
You may ban anyone you choose, it's your site, you may do as you wish with it. The problem is, that your banning method singles out anyone who is using Firefox, if they actually are running Adblock or not.
I am not a programmer, but I am fairly certain that someone out there could write a version of Adblock that would be effective on IE. Then, I guess, you would have to ban all of them also. |

LOL DITTO DITTO>... you took the words right out of my mouth I pay for the bandwith do I pay to receive calls from the mens church or from a bank trying to get you to sign up for there online service?
On my cell phone last I checked it costs me per minute.
I pay for that. Excuse us for not wanting to waste our money and the isp's money on banner ad bandwith..
I even noticed on my computer that sometimes it hangs while trying to load POS ad's and that Peeeeeeeeee Z me off.
As far as my space and websites like that trying to get money off you? That's why they came out with cookies you can trac people and steal information that i didn't authorize them. Rather it was part of the agreement that if I wanted to view there site I have to enable cookies.
The only Cookies I like are the ones that come out the oven hot with chocolate chips on them.
I gota reconfigure my router and browser to reject all this BCrap! |
