EasyList Forum

Hello team.
I'm writing because I have to report that EASYList is preventing our users to use the site correctly. I understand your logic perfectly but there are several issues that in my opinion should be addressed.

I'll write a couple:
Twitter embeds won't work (we are also about to allow embeds on other sites)
Bookmarklet on external sites won't work (we use a bookmarklet to add content on smutty, whenever a user wants to open this kind of url via bookmarklet it gets blocked)

I know that in the past smutty has been too aggressive with ads, but now we have lowered a lot the amount of ads, for example there is only 1 text ad in the homepage!

Anyway, I'm not asking for integration on the "acceptable ads" because I know we have popunders and animated ads. I'm just asking to make my life easier on third party blocks.
By the way, this is the code of the bookmarklet: it basically makes a request to our server with a resource and if it finds some image or video allows the user to post it to smutty.

here's an example of a twitter post

Thank you very much for your time

please note that it also seems that all links to smutty are being banned.
what happens is that the browser tries to open a link and it's immediately closed.

isn't it too much aggressive for a site like this?

Even opening a link from google is not possible. This is way too aggressive
please can you do something about this? we are not running a scam site here. I don't see any reason for smutty to be banned the way it is now.

thanks

Hi, here's an example that is really bad for us and the users.
there's nothing weird with this it's just an href with target blank, there's no tricking to the user of any sort. I don't understand why this is being blocked.
we are not serving ads from the domain https://smutty.com/ please help me.

Edit:
I just noticed that the rule blocking the page is this: thanks

Probably the easylist authors (all volunteers..) didn't see the thread ...

Guys, I'm in a weird spot, on one hand it's impossible to get a hold of anyone involved on the list editing here, on the other I'm having an hard time at work because a lot of stuff doesn't work and I really don't know what to say to my boss other than "nobody is answering"

I'm asking you to please give me some feedback on what we should do to have this issue fixed, at the end of the day you still have the option to revert to the current situation if in the future you will not be happy with our site.

please help me. thanks

Remove the onclick popup/popunder first.

hi [mention]fanboy[/mention]

How about we disable onclick popup/popunder for all ad blockers?

It's exactly what [mention]fanboy[/mention] asked you.

on it then, let me code this properly, I'll push the code asap

[mention]fanboy[/mention] [mention]intense[/mention] thanks for helping.

Please test it, I've made it so that all the ad-blockers should be recognised on each page of the desktop site and no popunders scripts are fired.

I'm open to any suggestion in case you think it's not enough, what I did technically was to include an external javascript file under the path /openx/ad.js



if the client doesn't read the special variable value set on that file the popunder script is not attached to the DOM.

If you want to notify Adblock user of use of adblock, follow this guide line.

Popup/Popunders (or overly aggressive ads/revolving adservers) will certainly get users attentions, and our attention also.. and filters would be re-added if they reappeared.

I've removed the filter in question, over the next few days it should fix itself automatically.

Thank you very much.
We won't notify Adblock users most likely.

I'll make sure that Adblock users will not get the code that triggers popunders.

thanks again

one more question, what about this?
