Yes, and any time I find a site like OCN that uses non-intrusive ads that you don't even notice unless you look for them.... I stick that site in my acceptable list and allow ads.Originally Posted by Disturbed117
Long as they can still be blocked by the user i would have no issue with this.
I do understand ocn needs ads for profits.
That doesn't make any difference, adblock just adds websites to their whitelist, so even if someone had the same ads on another wesbite, they'd still be blocked.Originally Posted by Clipze
ocn uses an ad publisher which is blocked..
ocn does not have its own ad network as far as im aware..
You could still manually add the site to block list. It's just a way of supporting the good sites.Originally Posted by Scott1541
If adblock doesn't block all ads there is no point it existing, so IMO there shouldn't be an acceptable ads list at all.
I'd just like to point out I don't block OCN ads though, everything else is blocked.![thumb.gif]()

Getting it on a whitelist by default helps OCN. Whereas having the ads blocked, and letting users input it as an exception, vastly decreases the amount of ads displayed by default. People are reminded to block a sites ads by seeing them. If they aren't there, they just don't notice and go about their business, likely not thinking to unblock the ads.Originally Posted by Clipze

You are saying that they should have this site added to the white list by default which essentially makes no difference, (IE if you want ads to show, you add this site to whitelist, and if its already on whitelist, you can remove it)
Basically this is pointless suggestion

theres different "adblocks" buddyOriginally Posted by Minnetonka16
You don't understand how adblock works.
They have their own "acceptable ads" whitelist that you may not edit, but you may blacklist. By default, it is allowed so that little ads in the corner (usually without brightly colored images or HTML5, java, or flash elements). You can choose, at any time, to block those ads.
Now, completely unrelated to anything above, you have a whitelist, that you can make yourself to allow whatever ads you want, be it on your own site or whatever.
There are, but in this thread they are discussing Adblock Plus:Originally Posted by Clipze

With that said I will show my support for OCN but it won't be by white-listing ads that I never click on. I trust OCN, but I do not trust third-party ads -- they're notorious for allowing (albeit accidentally) malicious content and if the ad network is down or not responding page load times become significantly longer
