Why Ad Blocking is devastating to the sites you love

If simply emailing with a description of what happens can help, I'd be more than willing.  As I said in an earlier post tonight on this thread, I still saw the evony and weight loss ads.  Though as I said then, I couldn't care less as long as it isn't harming my comptuer.

It absolutely does, how do I know there is a problem with ads (which are highly region-specific, even down to city sometimes) if you don't tell me?

The issue with Evony (google it) is that they keep signing up to different ad networks under different names so it is hard to block them...

I have absolutely no knowledge of the way ads are implemented on websites, but there has to be a better process to ensure quality control over harmful and obtrusive ads.  Can't there be some kind of 'content screening' prior to implementation? It's hard to take given the previous problems that the answer continues to be 'we'll continue to be firefighters, instead of back-burners'.
