@Elmer > why should it be not visible for registered users? New visitors won't really care, that's more the regular users that should be concerned about the fact that they block ads on the site they use!
Maybe because the site gets then (more or less) money with our work of identification? As said before, and even if it could sound paradoxical, I'm ready to pay a kind of subscription, not to suffer jerking ads about incontinence or life insurances (I don't know what are the actual ads. I always have an anti-ad).
Better said, is it rude to ask for a kind of acknowledgement for the time and knowledge we all give to the IMCDb?
By the way:
• [...] not all ads are annoying [...]: they are all annoying for everyone, except for the webmasters who hope to earn money from them
• [...] and AdBlock's default settings and whitelisting [...]: with AdBlock "acceptable ads" evolution, some forks appeared. Moreover, there is (at least for Firefox and derivatives) some other "non-AdBlock related" anti-ad add-ons. And some home-made / work-provided proxies (Privoxy, Squid...) block advertisements too. Maybe you should use the more general "anti-ad system" name?
• your "anti-anti-ad" is a Javascript. No-Script should certainly work, then
In fact, it's just a kind of arms race: Internet users have now the anti-anti-anti-ad (doesn't work with Pale Moon. Or works only with AdBlock Plus, that I don't use?). Next move for webmasters will logically be to create an anti-anti-anti-anti-ad. As said in a lot of TV-series: "Stay tuned"
