Thing is, hiding them from YOUR PC is only a temporary patch, nothing that actually prevents you from looking like a human endorsing advertisement post.

So I'm holding out on blocking them until I see them gone from the forums. Hiding from the problem for yourself only doesn't really solve anything in the end if everyone else without the fix can still see it.

A good news though, our own webmaster has alerted the big guys about the irritation this gives us.

Yes but logically speaking you can also assume that Fredi manages the content he's given and ordered to deal with, and doesn't decide on what to add.

He is simply following what the big guys told him to incorporate.

Now, if you only devoted as much time to that as you do to being a dumbarse, you'd really have something going.

If they don't fix it people may eventually leave for other areas (not the 'OTHER' area ). And I'm not just talking about the transients either. So I hope Fredi can sway the powers that be.

Yes I started blocking them a few days after it started. Well actually as soon as someone posted a FIX for them. Very anoying.
And I really dont like the fact that links appear in MY posts that I didn't put there.
Makes US look like cheap spammers advertising for crap I would never buy or use. But there is a link in my post for it.
SUXXXX BIG TIME.

I aint signing nothing!!!

We'll have to start all posts with something like:
<b>--Ignore this section--</b>
Intel VIA AMD Athlon ATi NVidia Motherboard Monitor SATA E-Mail DDR CPU LCD HDD Seagate Sinclair Seagate Mouse Keyboard CDRW DVD Portable Walrush Polishing Kit Etc
<b>--OK, you can stop ignoring now--</b>

Same here. Honestly, this whole keyword pseudolink advert thing has really made a lot of sites suck. I don't visit them anymore. (THG included.) But I <i>liked</i> THGC. So now I use Adblock. But still, the thought that someone might think I'm personally linking or endorsing something because there's an ad in my post, that still pisses me off, even though I can't actually see the ads anymore.

If review sites like THG want to endorse this kind of crap, then fine. Let them bollocks up their reputation all they like. THG's rep has already gone down the crapper anyway. But bugger all if I'm going to put up with this crap in my own posts. If THGC doesn't get rid of these adverts soon, I'm leaving. I've been willing to put up with a lot of sh<i></i>ite when THG sold out, but this is just too far.

Ok, what option do I use for "I don't like them, but I can ignore them because I'm not willing to put the work into making them go away regardless of how easy it is?

I know, I'll use the 'what's an advertisment' choice...

Thanks

Mike.

Thank god some others see it like I do too. This is shameless (or unconscentious) promotion using humans.

I eagerly await what Fredi can report. In the meantime, there is a nice Feedback e-mail for just those green links on THG. Go there and let your most poetic imagination flourish that message with lovely words.

Heck, link 'em to these two polls just to show 'em what we think. I've already sent my message to them, and Fredi too. Though the latter replied with some good news, at least.

I honestly can't believe how some sites' forums have accepted that form of advertisement and go along. It's just truly embarassing.

I mean, if you wanna put on that big carton with some text on it and go on the streets sporting it to advertise for something, fine by me. But don't put advertisement on me without my consent!

Are the greenies still on?

It is so hard to live in uncertainty.

Anybody?

Some of the greenies are on.

Greenies are still here, alas.
