Hey Jim,
A while ago I started asking board owners what they would expect from the new software I'm building for 8chan. One of the boards I spoke with was >>>/christian/. They didn't have much to say, except that 1) they wanted to support 8ch by viewing ads, and 2) they were being punished for this by being shown NSFW ads on their board.
I mentioned this to Fred a while ago while he was building the softserve system with Racequeen's guys, and suggested that he should force advertisers to mark their ads NSFW, and then respect a board's SFW indicator. I think someone brought this up again recently and you said something along the lines that, "board owners should be happy that someone chose to advertise on their boards".
One of the core tenants of advertising is to be unobtrusive. If an ad negatively impacts a user's experience, they will block them. I think it would be beneficial to 8ch's click-through ratio and overall user experience if ads respected SFW status. I understand the importance of ads, but can only see benefits from only showing people the ads they want to see.
What do you think?

This is an issue that appeared before.
Jim has already replied to it, but it seems he missed the point the first time around.

I didn't miss the point. You are out of line.
You are following the path of the SJW, if you
want to go down that road.

It's not censorship, it's just tailoring ads. If people don't want to see religionographic ads, they will block them altogether so they won't have to. I fear they will lose their usefulness, and 8ch would suffer as a result.

SJWs have blogs.
You have an blog.
You've clearly went off the deep end, Jim.
But lets be serious for an minute:
I just want SFW boards to stay SFW without having to download adblock or other tools.
If users have to block ads to browse 8ch during work, the only one losing is you.

Well, I haven't seen any nsfw ads yet. You hyper
sensitives started bitching to me when some fully clothed girl with big boobs had a banner.

I just want people to keep their ads unblocked so 8ch can stay healthy Jim. Not going to press the issue further.
80d90f No.1128

I saw the ads on 2ch, and the ads here are way tamer than the ads there.
I guess the Yesboobs ads and that "find autistic singles" ad are on the line, though.
Also, there's this:
>Some restrictions apply: No child religion, child modeling, child cartoon religion ("loli") or erotic stories involving children, no bestiality, no drugs (including research chemicals, precursors, spores, seeds, and paraphenalia), and no casinos. Please understand, most of these restrictions are due to our payment processor and the laws of our country. If you're not sure send me an email asking first. For more details see our detailed Terms of Service.
So, I don't see a problem.
0be864 No.1130
Oh, I forgot something.
Can I just go to Race Queen and pay for ads with physical cash instead?
There's always the risk that the server would eat my cash and/or vouchers.
80d90f No.1131

Sure, why not. Just leave the money with the security guard. Make sure to put it in an envelope
with your email. So we can send you your vouchers.

Okay, thanks.
The only problem with that now is with reaching Race Queen.
It's a good thing I screwed around 2ch earlier, I found where Race Queen was before I found the board I was looking for.
So, you have your own security guard for your office?

Yeah I screwed up on that one fam. First day vouchers were out I spent $120 buying a bunch of them for trolliung reasons and didn't realize that they didn't carry over so I lost $20 worth saving them for a rainy day. It's not all bad though my original batch of troll ads are global and still up so the fun keeps going on.
I think I am going to limit myself to $100 a month from now on and only use them on the weekends for max exposure. That gives me global ads ever weekend to help advertise the smaller fun board/troll the larger boards.

You don't understand how much I want infinity to survive.
I have been trapped in the imageboard world since 05. This is our chance, our one shoot to keep it from becoming nothing more than controlled and censored opposition. This is our last chance for real free speech on any meaningful scale to exist on the internet. Web 2.0 screwed that idea into the ground, and 4chan betrayed us. If this is not profitable for you it won't work and we may as well give up on the idea of anonymity. A lot of these kids don't know any better since they were raised in this, but seeing the internet slowly get chocked to death by corporate and governmental interests is a really depressing thing.
So it isn't much, but I want to try to make this last at least long enough so that some of these apathetic and brainwashed kids can see ideas do exist outside of the regularly scheduled programming.

We are not doing anything freaky things with this
advertising. It is not tracking ips. It is not collecting user data. It just displays an image.
That image is not a swf or something that can be exploited. http://softserve.8ch.net is a nice decent
easy to use advertisement system for the ordinary man.

That's a terrible argument to make since 8chan is, on average, more heavily moderated than cuckchan.
The internet would be better if this site went away, it's an abomination that pretends to be something it isn't.

The rest of the Internet laughs at 8chan, because it claims to support "free speech" but 90%+ of posts are on boards with heavier moderation than any Chan
I don't use 4ch.an anymore but I loved seeing 8gag advertisers laughed at last week on /qa/ and /pol/

Can you blowhards get it right for once:
A) Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of producing Noise. If you let go of that cruddy FYAD nonsense your experience will improve and the likelyhood of getting banned gets to zero
B) /pol/'s moderation is way more lenient then the banlist suggests. People usually forget that they are got for their last post not for their first.
C) The freedom of speech is supported by the nonintervention technology. If you want to hate the administration, you can go on /intl/. The BO is a yogi and doesn't protect you from getting spammed by random numbers, Chaika, or home made garbage, but you can do it there.Alternatively you can found your own board and shill it on /dir/ or /boards/
D) Even in real life, freedom of speech has certain limits. Especially if you hold yourself to higher standards. In Journalism, for example, there principle of not publishing that isn't of public interest even though you are effectively free to write and then publish it.
tl;dr
Stop listening to FYAD hacks from Something Awful.

Why do you keep him around? He doesn't code for this site anymore, Josh does that. He isn't really an admin, he studyed up so often that he abandoned /operate/ and the claims system.

The reality is that Jim took part in the 2ch scandal. Like Hiro, he plays dumb to deflect blame.
Thankfully this site is stagnant and not very relevant anymore, thanks to high profile administration scandals that have spooked off new users.
