The Angry Dome will be getting a rule revision if it comes back, since one of the violations we're being accused of is;

For anyone curious here are the guidelines for prohibited content for AdSense:

Interesting read. There's a few of them that are no-brainers but there's some strict stuff in here.

If that includes Nexon America then.. yeah, that explains a lot.Negative content

Have you tried Amazon yet?
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
You might want to try another Adsense network.
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Ad providers, not hosting providers.
And good god, yes, Amazon hosting is beyond ridiculous.

This is why I own zero google products, and will never invest in google.
Because google is a rude dude.
Google parades as if they are against censorship, when really, this their forte. : ^)
Google ruins lives.
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Er, pretty sure google has taken a stance against pornography and other related subjects. Not that stops anyone from googling it, but they have stated that they are against it.This is why I own zero google products, and will never invest in google.

So the subforums are not gone, just password protected?

Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Google tells the companies purchasing adspace that their ads will be placed in locations that are "family friendly, etc etc". Because Google sells their adspace this way, they have to patrol websites that utilize Adsense.
They have also taken a stance against pornography in other markets, however I believe it is also directly related to having adsense show ads.

Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Yet. As I said, if removing them proves sufficient to grant our appeal they'll be brought back, but empty.
They're closed for posting, off our listing, and password locked to prevent people from getting there via old links since for some reason vB doesn't have a way to soft delete whole forums and we want to retain permissions and settings and forum IDs so nothing else gets broken.
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Just wondering, but if those subforums were viewable to members only, would the people at google still been able to view it? I would assume they must have access to all pages with their adds right?
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Which is exactly why I dont support them, and why this whole mess is happening, cause google is overly strict and strigent on a matter that is basicly a nonfactor.
Because google.

I don't have an installation of VB at the moment, but most forum software (if not all) include premade accounts for spiders (although I think they might be ip based rather than username/pw?).

Re: This is why, people, this is why.
If you can see their ads they know what else is on the page you're seeing.
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
There's a time and place for everything. If you're going to a forum based on a MMO that children play for that kind of content, I'd simply just say that "You're doing it wrong".
I'd say it's good to have a Mickey Mouse type ad provider for sites like these to keep 'em clean(mostly) for underagers.
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Of course there is, but when you have a character like
Who is in a "State of undress" and is most likely unacceptable by google standards, you know there is a problem. Its not about being able to look at such content, its about not being scared of every picture, fearing the wrath of the bible gods google. This comes down to an issue with googles "Veiws" and discretion.
I think while google seems to be the easiest to work with, I dont think the admin should fear moving to another provider either. Cause screw google.
Also, remove that if you think google will get mad, even though its just a maple story character on a maplestory forum.
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Wait, so can someone explain to me why adsense is allowed on websites like http://asianfanfics.com ??? that site is basically filled with things that are even worse than whats on here imo.
Re: This is why, people, this is why.
Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly... Isn't Google (quite opposite of what they try to speak for) basically against freedom of speech here? Looks like a slippery slope towards working together with dictatorships, tyrannical governments and NSA (and other big brother agencies) to crush the dissidents...Negative content
