|
Everywhere at SST; The FAQ, Forums, Chat, we are always reminded that ripping, downloading and saving the stream is a bad, bad, thing... Something I happen to agree with. Then to my amazement I see an advertisement telling me to download/buy this program which allows me to "download streaming media".
I think this add should permanently be removed from SST (currently visible in the Queue/Played page) since it, most deffinately, is sending the wrong signals.

Google serves the ads it thinks is most relavent to SST. Since we are ranked pretty high for the term "streaming", and it is in our URL, it tends to return ads for streaming. Unfortunately it will kick back an ad we don't like. Anytime that happens we can ban that domain. You can PM me the bad domains and I will ban it from being advertised on SST. I have already banned several websites already. Thank you for your concerns.
[Edited to inclued PMing me instead of of in this thread.]

Good suggestion by Nr.2000. Those links are bad advertisement. Better PM the urls to me or JERIC. |

I checked on another IT forum and currently you can't block by topic, you can only block individual URL's |
