    Is there a way to get rid of these from my life (clearly "don`t come here" is the obvious response). I post good links, I am a nice person, I post useful detailed responses to other posts... but all this ad link stuff is starting to get really annoying

    So is there a nice poster type rank between paying and contributor?

    Flame away as required but I think it is a fair request on my part :S

    Can you be more specific on what you mean by "ad link stuff"?



    Also, I think the limit right now is at 10/day? Seems pretty reasonable for free stuff.

    I know you were looking for suggestions other than donating, but if you enjoy the site, a donation for a year is less than a $1/month and gives you unlimited downloads. Otherwise, to answer your question, no, there isn't an 'in-between' rank.

    The extra tabs "Astraweb", the extra buttons on NZB posts which are really just more ads.... yes the 10 a day limit is fine (can use combine option which doesn`t seem to have a per/post limit), didn`t really need more

    Anyhow you answered the question perfectly well so I`ll just carry on ignoring them or I guess I can always write a new filter in AdMuncher to get rid of them anyway

    Cheers

    You've made a grand total of 23 posts since September 2008. That's almost 4 per year. Personally, I'd put you in a special 'Parasite' class. A group that can fuck the fuck off.

    Not even spamming/flaming here. I mean it. Who the fuck needs you around? Bitch about having to look at ads when you bring nothing else to the board. Seriously, go away.

    Remember those 23 posts don't reflect what he contributes in/to the nzb comment section. He does in fact post meaningful stuff

    Thanks for the backup. I know you are very active in our little world of NNTP and my post count doesn`t reflect anything I actually supply. I didn`t expect a warm welcome to the post but that other response was a bit OTT, anyhow thanks for your kind words makes me not want to just f* off etc

    Then I'll take your word for it. Regardless, it is a petty thing to bitch about. As mentioned, he could make the ads go away for <$12 a year.

    Tired of all the dead weight floating around here. Bitching about ads. Bitching about making 2 lousy posts. Bitching about download limits in a free section.

    Does that actually get rid of the random buttons/tabs? Not looking at banners as they are blocked anyway.... please notice the way I am NOT doing the incite for flame war

    I get it, and your points are valid. The vets are tired of the shit posts and I am too. Just trying to keep this thread from blowing up.
