Updated Terms of Service
I'm wondering about this:
Prohibited...
- use ad blockers or other technology in a way that is intended to circumvent or interfere with the advertising system, or to engage in fraudulent activity, such as generating fake ad revenue.
Some people, especially teens, people using school networks or adults living in a residence where someone else controls certain aspects don't have a choice.
@GlenM can you comment on keeping 7cups accessible while implementing this policy?
Hi Affy, We will not be doing any advertising to teens. People that are in those situations are okay.
I have an ad blocker on my computer. Am I not allowed to use it? I’m confused…
@jesusredeemedme2425 if you got the updated terms of service that occurred recently and agreed, it's my understanding you can't use an ad blocker while using 7cups.
@Glen
How does this work? I use an ad blocker for other sites I use. Do I have to turn it off every time I use 7Cups?
@jesusredeemedme2425 The tag is @GlenM
Oops sorry! And thank you <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 we are not going to run around patrolling if people are using an ad blocker or not. we all have much more important things to worry about :). if you turn it off, then you'll help us cover the bills. if you keep it on, then you will not help us cover the bills.
Oh ok, that makes sense. I’ll try to turn it off when I can <3
@GlenM I wish it hadn't been lumped in with more serious things, including this part: or to engage in fraudulent activity, such as generating fake ad revenue.
Just using an ad blocker has a very different intent and for many people it's their default. A request (instead of prohibiting) that we limit their use if possible while using 7 cups would be more inclusive IMO. Maybe this can be changed the next time the ToS are updated?
