Default TOS is broken and i am angry!

google is "breaking" the TOS

for more than 1-2 weeks i keep see this DAMN PICTURE in Ads by google
dupe programs r the thing that blizzard and battle.net (the companies that made the Diablo II game, whitch my forum is about) hate the MOST

its the worst thing for blizzard and the best for hackers, dupe programs make perfect copies of items so u dont play to find them, u just duplicate (dupe) many and make trades and get other things u dont have

MANY people got banned from hacks and i DONT want people on my forum to pay for that shit and end up BANNED
do something, if i am not allowed to cheat, why is google allowed??

thanks for understanding, giannis

Edit: see the pic, see what i mean

its a waste of time contacting google, they just give you spiel about what there policys are, best thing to do is a post an announcement and warn your members.

They're ways to block everything, I had accidentialy made a script a year ago that moved the ads to the bottom, and then I was interested and made a script to block them for a day... then I undid the scripts and just payed to get the ads removed.

At least you undid the scripts, you could have your account deleted for that!

the first thing (moving the ad to the bottom) was an accident, but when I did that I decided to see if I could remove the script.. and I could, it was more of an experiment. I undid it within hours, mostly because I was afraid of getting my account deleted. But 5 bucks for ad removal is fine. Bags of chips cost more in some stores...

The most anoying thing about ads, is that they are never coded right, so they cause a lot of errors that slow the loading of your page even more than usual.

But my point was that there is a plugin for firefox that can block those ads.

1.11b DUPE!!
Google Adsense gets ads for your forum based on what your forum is about. Originally, when this forum was first made, it advertised free forum hosting! Limez can easily disable certain ads from appearing, but he doesn't do it for individual forum accounts. The only thing you can do (I'm afraid) is to tell your members to NOT click the ads, or simply pay to have ads removed. It's up to you, but any ad forum host would have the same problem, most use Google Adsense..

Google is totally useless when it comes to customer support, they email you automated messages, I tried when they closed my Adsense account at random, I got an automessage.
