swfchan.com

Instead of just blocking the ads on swfchan.com (and swfchan.net + swfchan.org) the whole domains are blocked.

This is incorrect since swfchan doesn't serve any ads from its own domain, simply blocking the domains of the ad-providers should be enough.

Necessary captchas served by swfchan are also being blocked by easy list. The list is supposed to help people block unwanted content but the current filter causes the reverse to happen: instead of not seeing any ads the ads will all be visible since the adblocker must be turned off completely in order to use the site for the desired content.

Requested fix: Make the swfchan.com / swfchan.net /swfchan.org domains usable once more (not blocked). Just block the ads and not the site itself.

Could you stop using revolving ad servers (popads)?

Sure, the obfuscated code has been replaced with their regular version.

Only the easylist authors can add/remove/modify filters.
... so just be patient until one of them will see this thread and decide what to do.

I see, I thought I was communicating with EasyList directly here, sorry for the misunderstanding. If they do watch this forum I think there should have been something happening in a week, not too fond of reducing the site's income and then wait for something that might never happen.
I'll e-mail easylist.subscription (gmail) directly about the issue and try to have it resolved that way (or at least get a definite answer).
Thank you for your help man!
