If political discussion is not allowed, why are political ads accepted?

Top left banner ad is a google ad. Not controlled by SS. Google inserts ads based on keywords found from the host page. Sorry.

and now they have an Obama vs. Romney ad up.

Guess we''ll have to live with it. Probably good money for the site. I'm all for that!

Ads are not as bad as heated and emotional discussion.

You never know where that will go.

:ditto: to the sigline.

I never even looked at the ads, Real effective aren't they?

Rick

Some people here have WAY too much time on their hands and tend to pick apart anything political they can which doesn't side with their views. (No I'm not talking about JCKnife)

Wish more people would take this mindset. (tune things out)

Well, I got Obama. I wonder if this will work.

Obama go away!
Political ads go away.
Stop all ads.
Don't let it happen again.
Just do it!

(Bet it doesn't, but now, a Las Vegas gambling ad may come up that is a lot more interesting.)

Do everybody see the same ad, or is it defferent for each member, depending on what thread they brought up ?????

Not really much different than Auction ads with links vs not allowed to link to auctions. Although Googleads go by your cookies.

It's all about the Benjamins.
Totally different.

The GL ads in the left panel of the page are random. The reason we don't want you to post links here is for your own benefit.

1. Post a link to a live or upcoming auction and you might be bidding against each other.

2. Posting up links to old auctions is no guarantee that the link will remain viable later on.

No, it won't work because you "tell them to go away". The programming isn't looking for suggestions. It's looking for key words. So basically you gave it...

Obama
Political
Las Vegas
gambling

You do the math on what it should display?

Agreed, I didn't mean to start a problem here. The question has been answered that's good enough for me.

BECAUSE this is a PRIVAT owned site, The owner sets the rules
Is that legal? So I have the right to limit anyone's constitutional rights huh? I'll bet of the creator of this site wanted to ban weapons, all of you would cry fowl.
