Question on ban announcements

He was asked to do two things, basically: lay off the not-so-subtle ***ual references and pare back the Betway spam in every post, both of which could potentially cause problems wrt Google ads (the Betway stuff has already had a noticeable effect). He did neither, although it was really the former that got him the ban.

How long has he been doing the Betway stuff? I've had a Betway banner for weeks.

Good to know the rest of our ***ual references are subtle enough then
Was it the Manuel Ferrara thread that did it?

I see no reason why porn stars should not be discussed, they're fine upstanding members of society
This is as subtle as a sledgehammer and hasn't gotten me anything yet, not even a like FFS

The placement of that ad is a nightmare when on mobile. I think it's not troubled me more because I usually browse via New Posts but lately I've been going straight into OT like the good old days and click the ad accidentally more often than not.

His doing it follows the banner, not the other way round if that's what you're thinking
No that was my point, badly expressed on a Sunday morning (in before sledger what about every other morning comment).

I've only seen him do it over the last week or so, but have been getting Betway banners for months.

Haha omg yes the amount of times I've tried to click back into OT and clicked the banner by mistake is a pain.

The Betway ad's been a permanent feature the time I've been here. The only one the adblocker doesn't get either, so it's actually embedded in the site.

Has anyone been permabanned this year yet? I know I could read the announcement thread but the lockdown will probably have to reach into a sixth week to produce the necessary level boredom.
