d181sp1 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Y'all do a great job with the site. Been a decade and it keeps getting better. Thanks
linksword01 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 You want me to stop using adblock? You get the same response I give others. Provide me with a 90-day history of reports of malicious software so I can blacklist the trackers Provide me with proof you have never been compromised in the last 2 years.
Niborino9409 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 How about supporter users that uses browsers with adblock and such built in? Like the Brave Browser https://brave.com/
BobDarek Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I don't have any ad-blocker... I don't know why you considered me like this kind of user. Anyway, my antivirus suite is blocking any attack attempts from your site... Maybe that's why people use ad-block. Your site isn't safe (At least, that's what my antivirus said)
RatB0Y68 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 This seems to me to be the right way to do it. Create an incentive rather than an injunction. Standard users and adblockers continue to enjoy the same level of service without additional penalty. Supporters and non-adblockers get an additional carrot.

Deleted59445121User Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I think this is a perfect way to handle the situation. I'm usually among the first to jump on against things that target adblockers in a negative manner, but this does not do so, only incentivises people to support this great site, without a penny out of their pocket to do so. I use adblockers on many sites, and I have to say this is the only one I ever felt guilty about it for because of how much I use it and how good it and the staff have been to me for the last decade. I've since purchased a premium membership so it's not a guilt to bear anymore, but I think it's entirely fair and reasonable for this approach, considering the service you offer to your users. Thank you Nexus!
