And your getting really uptight about an issue that really...doesnt matter that much.
It matters, I think but whatever.
I'm not mad at anyone. I was just calling attention to his obvious posturing.
And your getting really uptight about an issue that really...doesnt matter that much.
According to us mods eh?where did i say that...Er yeah you completley pulled that out of your arse.No where does Remus say that dude.Infact Remus actualy said somthing along the lines that he thought the majority of people wouldnt fall for the adverts.Us being a cynical lot and stuff.Your just twisting words now.
deal with it,most people seem to be able to without kicking up such a fuss.
You must have missed his original poll. But okay sorry, I should have said just Remus as the other mods didn't weigh in on it.
Fine, like I said man, it's your site not mine. I can't force you to take ads down. But we should be able to have a thread on the subject at least. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Its not my site dude...just cos i help out moderating doesnt mean i own the site im still just another normal member like you.Yes i can bring suggestions up with the webmaster and other mods but so can you.But they have already been braught up...donoations...or gettting an ad block.And even if i wanted to take the ads down i couldnt thats beyond my power.
And hey youve got your thread havnt you?Its not like its been locked or anything or deleted.Im just adding my own personal opinion.
But according to the mods here, it is apparently the fault of the insecure people if this happens to them. It is their fault for being such "vulnerable sheep," and not being secure enough to exercise proper media literacy.
The webmaster has to pay the bills afters all, so I am generally OK with ads. I don't mind the old style small google ads which are not that intrusive.
What I am starting to find annoying are the ads (some graphical) that seem to obscure the page flow and formatting, making it difficult to read the content here.
I am glad that the ads here aren't those horrible epileptic seizure inducing flashing flash ads. Please Please don't ever bring them here.
I hope the webmaster reconsiders his decision to includes ads within the body of posts. As I said I am happy with ads, but only if they a unobtrusive and only shown at the very top or very bottom.
As for using ad-block, you can't expect everybody to be computer savvy enough to install browser ad-ons. And even if they were, they might not be allowed to install them (ie when using a work/school/internet cafe computer), so thats not really an option for all.

Uh huh... and now you're predictably trying to make it seem like I'm hard to please because I objected to a poll that would only let people choose "no ads" if they also admitted to being vulnerable sheep.
You're really transparent, you know that?
(Cue another lame joke, to cover up the fact that you have no solid argument).
It was *my* personal opinion, I wasn't speaking for the moderating team. Dan's opinion is also his own, so is thelema's, I think it good to debate but don't throw your toys out of the pram just because people dont agree with you.
If anyone does fall for the ads can they also be careful when opening emails in thier inbox telling them they won the nigerian lottery (dont send those bank details folks!)
