At the time being, millions of interwebbers, including me, use an adblocker. A default enabled feature is the "show acceptable ads", but none of those ads are shown on Armor Games. Which leads to the conclusion that Ag hasn't got a (proper) advertisement policy.
Those requirements are actually quite simple:

Acceptable Ads are not annoying.
Acceptable Ads do not disrupt or distort the page content we're trying to read.
Acceptable Ads are transparent with us about being an ad.
Acceptable Ads are effective without shouting at us.
Acceptable Ads are appropriate to the site that we are on.

There is a large community actively adding ads to the exception list, so isn't it time for Armor Games to move on, and start showing us those ads?

Armor Games uses CPMStar and Google to provide most of it's advertisements. They have no control over what advertisements are shown. That said, AdBlock users are not welcome on the site, as it essentially amounts to theft.

@vincentvdh9

You could email @Ferret about ads you feel are inappropriate to be on the site.

Looks like AG is held at gunpoint by what advertising company they partner with.

Still, there are certain things that AG is in control of,
-link removed-

Please do not discuss blocking software for advertisements or link to related websites (see rule #7)

@vincentvdh9 If you find a specific ad that's having an issue, you can e-mail me and I'll do my best to track it down. A screenshot of the ad always helps.

wait, is it easy to make an ad plugin from scratch and gain total control over the ads that come up on the site, considering the ad-blocker-blocker is independent from the google/cpmstar plugin? @ventralchaos

@Ferret I've made up my mind: I've just bought an Ag+ pass for 6 months
Curious to know how much it would cost for a life long ad free pas ?
