Hi, although, I wanted to completely get rid of ads from being viewed on my posts. I want to (at least) strict them from being shown to audiences.

You don't have any posts.

It's a feature request...
when uploading a new post, there is an option to disable/strict ads for the viewer whom visit the post.

I won't post them unless this feature is implemented.

Uploaders are not artists. Even if this functionality were to be added, the majority of the time, it'd be people completely unrelated to the artist who are making that decision.

Yes, I'm not an artist. I had typesets of a certain manga which I did.
And I don't want the people see them with an inappropriate ad above of it.
Although there is e9, it is still accessible in e6.

We have no intention of allowing people to decide which ads are shown on any given submission. If people don't want to see ads they can use an ad-blocke, or if they only don't want to see adult ads they can use e926.

By that, I have no intent to upload any posts here then.

Ads are not too much differend from something like furaffinity.
Ads are run by owners of the site (Bad Dragon here, IMVU on Furaffinity) and on top of that it's community who can buy ad time from the slots.

Only difference being that we have one (1) single adslot only, where sites like furaffinity have seven (7) and one additional (+1) under your upload on submission pages and with other boorus there's usually 10+ with additional javascript popup ads and sound/video ads.

As such I don't exactly understand where this feature request is coming from exactly? Content hosting costs money, ads bring money, especially considering the scale of this site I do not know the numbers at all, but it could easily be hundreds if not thousands of dollar a month to upkeep the site and its servers.
I know that sites like YouTube will allow you to stop monetizing your own videos, but this is also Google we are talking about and they are literally just eating the cost of hosting your content. Just because multibillion dollar company can take a hit, doesn't mean that everyone else can.

If you really want zero ads on anything, only solution for you is to host your own server privately and pay for the fees yourself. Because even free website creators will insert ads on your site, at minimum ads on their own service (which is what we also do most of the time) unless you pay them.

Except that's a bannable offense on e621 if we're caught, or so I thought.

How would that even be enforced?

It's not that difficult to detect adblock users. But banning people outright for that would be quite ridiculous.

Where did you get that from? That was never a reason for a ban

My question was clarification, not confrontation. If I'm working off of a misconception, is it not logical for me to correct it?

Yes, it used to be, but looking for some evidence reveals it was a Mellis-era reason. —> https://e621.net/forum_posts/2502

Ippiki Ookami once lamented the removal of this ban reason. —> https://e621.net/forum_posts/58030

It seems that this policy was dropped upon the handover to Bad Dragon, hence Ippiki's comment. Clearly, I either forgot about this or missed it during one of my absences from the forums. It's not boot-licking flattery to say that NotMeNotYou and his Bad Dragon-era predecessors, Varka and Char, have been more diplomatic and professional than Mellis.

If I'm not mistaken (which I admittedly often am, or I wouldn't have made my previous post), it wasn't so much using an ad blocker that was bannable because, as bitWolfy points out, it would be quite ridiculous. Rather, it was admitting one was using an ad blocker, ie. one was bragging how they were denying e621 necessary revenue. Mellis didn't really seem to appreciate this.

I don't know anything about Mellis or the older admins, so I'll take your word for it.

As I said, it's not impossible to detect adblock users. Some sites do that to just blank out the entire page in that case, which is essentially a complete ban from the site.
Banning people for claiming to use adblock won't stop them from using adblock. It'll just make them stop talking to other people about it. I'm dubious as to how effective that is, though.

I personally have an exception in the adblock for e621.net, as it is a site worth supporting.
However, I wouldn't mind if there was a subscription option - through Patreon or otherwise - to pay a small amount of money monthly to remove the ads.

All in all, I am rather grateful that the current administration is more reasonable about this.

I don't think it ever was very effective. I know I used an ad blocker back then, but never once mentioned it anywhere (I tried making an exception, but the ads were too disagreeable to me). Yet, I never suffered any bans because of it.

I think Varka agreed it was ridiculous as I also found an old topic in which he solicited feedback on the placement and number of site ads.

All in all, I am rather grateful that the current administration is more reasonable about this.

You and me both.
