Simple suggestion: Some update introduced a new overlay over the ads that won't let you click on them to block them with ABP. Other than being illegal, what you are doing forces us to watch stupid ads made by 7 year olds with paint. All ads now are like "JOIN NOW", "BUY THIS NOW", "PLAY THIS NOW". If you really don't want to let ABP work, then add a toggle for BC, TBC and OBC for "Player made ads On/Off". I see how you literally added an "AdBlockPlusOverlay" instance to cover the ad, so that the ads are never blocked.
Side note: This is not a riot. This is a call for rights we should have. "I have a dream" -Martin Luther King "ROBLOX, it's FREE" -Old ads. I'd prefer to see those everywhere than the player made ones. Literally almost all player made ads are false advertisement or scams made by rich people to get even richer.
Like usual, no flaming and constructive criticism only.

I just don't want to see off-site ads and video ads. Now that I have AdBlock Plus, it gets rid of them, but makes other player made ads block items on the games page.
Support.

@Nathan, What ROBLOX is doing is in no way illegal; where exactly did you pick up that misconception?

"This is a call for rights we should have." This is a privately-owned company, not a country. So, this complaint more relatable to me complaining for a "call of rights" if OP refuses to make me a pizza for free than a rights movement. Remember that you're costing them money for server maintenance and wages in order to be here. |

@Datastore
Blocking or not letting a program work without being allowed by the program's owner to do so.
Also, dude, you haven't changed: Always hostile and selfish...... Maybe you're a robot..... :P Flaming isn't gonna stop me.
@Robloxking Whoa. I paid, I deserve the right to block all this false advertisement and spam, like seriously. All the ads either 1) look like a 7 year old made them with paint 2) stupid "JOIN NOW OR BE DEFEATED" clanscrub recruiting ads. 3) Ads advertising games that aren't even half completed and very unstable, ads claiming the game to be complete and stable.

@nathan I don't think he's flaming, he's just stating a point.

@Spongo Look at some old threads where he posted. Every time, he states invalid facts and flames.
The thing that I hate about him is that his ego has no limits. He just wants everything for himself, not caring about anyone else. nathan15051, add 1.5k posts |

I have problems seeing the issue here, it are just ads, whats the problem with that? Are pictures that hard to ignore?
"All ads now are like "JOIN NOW", "BUY THIS NOW", "PLAY THIS NOW"." That is called advertising btw. |

| There's a wonderful and effective technique passed down through many generations since the first forms of advertising were invented, which is called "ignoring". |

@Nathan15051, I'm not being hostile or selfish, nor am I flaming; I'm stating a point. I'd also like to point out that the majority of the ideas that I don't support are ideas which are untenable. This becomes the case when the idea is factually unsound or fails to realise to realise the long-term implications of what they're suggesting.
Could you perhaps give some examples where you believe I've given information which isn't factually sound? I'd also love for you to point out where I suggest I want everything for myself; I need a good laugh.
Also, that sentence you threw at me made little to no sense in regards to the law. Even if there was a law protecting ad blockers, which I doubt, ROBLOX wouldn't be breaking it. Why? I just went onto my alternate, non-BC, account and managed to block both user-ads and Google adsense adverts. How? I just let AdBlock run as usual and used the right click contextual menu to block an ad source.

| I think the roblox ads are fine. Why? The kid actually paid a bid to see how many clicks/sees he can get, then know if he needs to pay more, or is good with the bid he made. |

@Data
bòah blah blah.
You basically hate me and try to shoot down all my good ideas because I can prove you wrong. Just because you belong in the upper class of the rich people does not mean you have the right of forcing your opinion on others, thus, get out.
@everyone else I'm not against ads. I am only against the poorly made ads which are silencing the ones that should really be displayed because they deserve it. If I hear the word Developer, i think about TheAmazeman, not about Loleris or Taymaster.
I am against the fact that we are forced to see ads that we don't want to see. It's as easy as either removing an overlay which stops a program from working or adding a button. It's as easy as that.
And everyone still complains.
I'm starting to realize that the worst thing on roblox is the community that populates it. Lots of greedy rich people which try all they can to silence the poor and get all they want.

@Data
You're basically a minimod. Minimods try to make everyone think roblox is perfect and all updates are good, if people don't listen minimods try to make their life impossible and mass report them.
I'm a revolutionist. I am one of the free minds, I am very unorthodox in the way I think about things and thus minimods want me terminated because I have the potential to turn half the community against roblox if they make a bad update. But I don't. Why? Because it's not gonna change anything. That half of the community will eventually leave or riot because I woke them up. And then what? Riots don't do anything.
But seriously, all this chaos and flaming just for a button. Altough I blocked the site where roblox stores ad data with ABP, all ads will be blocked. They really want to make their ad thing impossible to block. A button would have been simpler tho. However the discussion keeps going. nathan15051, add 1.5k posts |

Every single advertisment should have a buy now or play now.
Every single one. Also, quite frankly many developers have NO CLUE how to make a good advertisement.
Removing player ads would make roblox a really boring place, and small places couldn't gain fame. |

@Nathan, I don't hate anybody. If I did, you'd know about it, but life is too short to hold grudges against people. I don't even know or remember you. Also, calling something a good idea is a subjective viewpoint; other people are obviously going to disagree. Oh, and my decisions aren't based on my wealth. I'm not being greedy here. You have continually failed to prove that I am attempting to be greedy.
I also believe you're unaware of what a minimod is, as well as what flaming is. A minimod is a person who will attempt to enforce a website's rules without actually having any power to enforce them. Nowhere have I attempted to lay down the ROBLOX rules, instead I've put across my personal opinion; which I'm fully entitled to do. Nowhere have I made anyone's life impossible, nor have I ever reported anyone. Go take your slander elsewhere.
I'd also like to point out that I'm not attempting to make ROBLOX perfect. I simply say why I don't support an idea, expressing the various long-term implications of such a change. If the idea is workable I'll attempt to intersect with a few changes that could be made to make the idea tenable in my eyes.
I also have no idea what you're going on about, again. You complain if you can't block the ads, you complain if you block them all, you complain if you can only block offsite adverts and so on. Make up your mind; what exactly do you want?
Seriously grow up.

Blocking all ads also blocked all images, lol. Whoops. I fixed it now.
And I do agree: All devs have no clue how to make ads. Good ads should describe the game like "Survive the zombies!" or "Get weapons and fight", not like "AWESOME EPIC ZOMBIE GAME PLAY NOW" or "AWESOMEST FIGHTING GAME EVER PLAY NOW". The thing that makes me want ads removed is their overall low quality, And again, it is relative to the user, I will turn them off, but if you want player made ads on then turn them on, again, turning them off is only for who has a membership. nathan15051, add 1.5k posts |
