[248] Issue reports & disabled filters

Post by famlam »

The report https://reports.adblockplus.org/c0a7959 ... 6a41de0b05 (I filed this one myself, but there are plenty of real examples) has disabled filters.
Can you please either
- show which filters are disabled
- completely disable reports if 'under non-disabled conditions' matching filters are disabled

Currently, reports like these are useless. I have no way to figure out why ads show up on that domain, other than manually comparing all resources with filters (which would fail anyway if the match occurred in a truncated area, and costs way too much time). The report says "Disabled filters": "yes, 8 filter(s)". This doesn't give me any information (which filters? do those filters match? ...). These are the solutions I would like to suggest, in order of priority in which I prefer them:

1. don't allow filing reports if matching filters are disabled (reasoning: if I remove a random file from the FF setup, it'll break too, so why would lists work fine if you disable them partially)
OR
2. show the disabled filters in gray, just like when I disable filters and look at the resources list in FF
OR
3. in the filters tab, below the matching filters, show the disabled filters that would have matched
OR
4. instead of showing "yes, 8 filter(s)", show all matching filters that are disabled.

Kind regards,
Famlam

Hoping to get at least a reply:
The report with ID dca15f18-0e48-4fa3-a488-6c334422235a is from a user who disabled the filter @@||adserver.adtech.de/addyn/3.0/$script,domain=girlsgogames.nl|spel.nl|spelletjes.nl (since http://adserver.adtech.de/addyn/3.0/1183/3912964/0/5194/ADTECH;loc=*;target=*;key=*;grp=*;misc=*;kvgameid=* is blocked) and now complains that the game doesn't work...
