Hey,

Our website, LocalMonero, is a site for people to post their own "classified ads" about buying or selling Monero. These aren't advertisements in the "banner ad" sense of the word, these are like craigslist ads, this is the whole point of the website.

When you try to search for ads using our site's search function, the results will be shown in a page with a URL like this:

Code: Select all

https://localmonero.co/ad?type=ONLINE_SELL&currencyCode=GBP&countryCode=GB&paymentMethodCode=&amount=

Notice, the URL contains the word "ad".

We've triangulated the issue to an EasyList directive that's active in uBlock Origin amongst others.

Line '1254' in EasyList:

Code: Select all

removing the "/ad?" would be easier tbo.

You mean us changing our URL?

[intense]

Yes, it's what he asked.

Or maybe you should want to improve the accuracy of your filter?

[fanboy]

Don't you think using the word "ad" in the sense of "/ad?.." is the main issue? and not the list. The adblock list is doing what is expected based on this common ad string. Just fix it and stop bitching here.

[LocalMonero]

Don't you think that the term "ad" can have other meanings and be used in other contexts, and that a good list would be aware of that and be able to tell meanings apart in order to block the bad stuff but allow the good stuff (which is the whole purpose of the list), and that a good list author would want to solve the problem, thereby improving their list quality, instead of blaming the victim?

Please name those meanings which aren't Ad related. If you're going to come back with acronyms or shorts for addition etc then you just proved @fanboy's point.
