Top left banner ad is a google ad. Not controlled by SS. Google inserts ads based on keywords found from the host page. Sorry.

 

[3dAngus]

and now they have an Obama vs. Romney ad up.

Guess we''ll have to live with it. Probably good money for the site. I'm all for that!

Ads are not as bad as heated and emotional discussion.

You never know where that will go.

Not saying nothing else.

Some people here have WAY too much time on their hands and tend to pick apart anything political they can which doesn't side with their views. (No I'm not talking about JCKnife)

Wish more people would take this mindset. (tune things out)

Not really much different than Auction ads with links vs not allowed to link to auctions. Although Googleads go by your cookies.

It's all about the Benjamins.

 

[3dAngus]

Well, I got Obama. I wonder if this will work.

Obama go away!
Political ads go away.
Stop all ads.
Don't let it happen again.
Just do it!

(Bet it doesn't, but now, a Las Vegas gambling ad may come up that is a lot more interesting.)

Do everybody see the same ad, or is it defferent for each member, depending on what thread they brought up ?????

Why is 1st amendment rights limited on this site?

Totally different.

The GL ads in the left panel of the page are random. The reason we don't want you to post links here is for your own benefit.

1. Post a link to a live or upcoming auction and you might be bidding against each other.

2. Posting up links to old auctions is no guarantee that the link will remain viable later on.

Why is 1st amendment rights limited on this site?

Because:

1. You agreed to that upon registration.
2. The site is privately owned.
3. The owner of the site reserves the right to dictate what happens on his site.

Why is 1st amendment rights limited on this site?

BECAUSE this is a PRIVATE owned site, The owner sets the rules

No, it won't work because you "tell them to go away". The programming isn't looking for suggestions. It's looking for key words. So basically you gave it...

Obama
Political
Las Vegas
gambling

You do the math on what it should display?

 

[ratat98]

It's amazing to me how just the word "politics" can bring up a heated discussion on this site. It's just an ad. I don't even notice them.

 

[JCKnife]

Agreed, I didn't mean to start a problem here. The question has been answered that's good enough for me.

Is that legal? So I have the right to limit anyone's constitutional rights huh? I'll bet of the creator of this site wanted to ban weapons, all of you would cry fowl.
