Community Called "Creative Ads" on imzy gets blocked? o_o

[perrohunter]

Hi, I created a community with the URL

Code: Select all

https://www.imzy.com/creative_ads

on social network Imzy, but seems like ad block is causing some weird redirection, if I turn it off for the site it works, can you guys replicate this issue?

it's due to this filter:

Code: Select all

_ads?

You need an exception in easylist like this 1:

Code: Select all

@@||imzy.com/api/communities/no-auth/creative_ads?$xmlhttprequest

You should test this filter (even after logging in) to see if needing other adjustments and then report the issue at easylist forum:

I guess that pretty much kills my community on Imzy unless everyone enters the same rule o_o is there a way to get this URL whitelisted? do you think _advertisement? will have the same results?

I asked you to test all the pages in that community to see if that filter is enough and then report at easylist forum (where an easylist author can include the exception in the main list)

Apologies for jumping in here, and I'm sorry in advance if it's inappropriate- I work at Imzy, and all of our URLs that contain the word "ads" or "advert*" are blocked by ABP, including a post where one of our founders explains that we don't have advertising at all on our website, and why we decided not to have ads. Is there something we should be doing on our end that will help our users (such as OP) who use ABP?

As I explained above you have to report directly at easylist forum: only they (the easylist authors) can add exceptions for your site / pages

[greeniethemoose]

Ah, my apologies. I assumed easylist was a custom blacklist that people used, I didn't realize it was the core list that ABP uses. Thank you!

do you think _advertisement? will have the same results?

Yes if a name is matching to generic filters in easylist.
