Sorry but it doesn't work like that, if you want to add new rules you would have to update the terms on the site and have everyone agree to them, if the rules were not in the terms we agreed to when we joined they are not valid unless you add them and get everyone to accept the new terms.

There are numerous options. One would be a race of seeing who can make adds that can't be blocked vs who can block adds. Another is making other sources of revenue a bigger part of the revenue. You could just block the people from viewing the site but even in that regard it takes time and effort to do that as well, plus it could create some bad will. Another is keeping the site simpler, you had many volunteers before I'm sure you could get plenty again no one made you pay them.

The whole idea though of blocking being stealing is a tough argument. You made choices that had it that adds pay you by being seen and not just having them advertise on the site based on the number of visitors. Your choices of how you choose to set the site up let that be possible, maybe adds pay better of some type of another. I'm sure the ones that swell up and block out the page pay better than others but they also annoy people more. Maybe simpler adds wouldn't pay as much but if you don't have to worry about it being blocked it might be worth it. You took the risks by choosing certain types of adds one that is more risky. Is it stealing that people can block them or just the consequences of the risk you took? A lower income add that couldn't be blocked wouldn't make as much but you wouldn't loose anything since they couldn't be blocked.

It's stuff like this that shows how ad driven our society has become...

this thread really shows up the ppl who watch too much porn

Once you've started paying somebody, you can't stop. And we're not paid any huge amount.

>>>  NO SOUND OPTION BUTTON ON ADS MUST BE OBLIGATORY <<<

Adds are nice for me.  Please, make these companies that use your space for adds to implement a "NO SOUND" feature.  It is very disturbing to be on the site and along with the music from the speakers to be forced to listen to the repetitive bad sounds of an advertisment until you exit. 

Is there something that can be done for this matter, at least?

(sorry for any mistakes in my English)

I don't adblock because they really aren't annoying to me..

I would just like to add,

personally i only go to the threads that are in hot topics. I do not go around search for stuff to read. I am sure there would be a good percentage of people like me.

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'.

I've used adblock plus for a couple of years and I have never looked back. It feels like I've cleaned up the internet.

I suggest everyone at least give adblock a chance.
