We know adverts are annoying, but for websites offering free services and without a sponsor, they are a very important part of keeping that service running.
On the other hand a lot of our users already help us in other ways, so to thank them we will be giving users the ability to turn off ads if they match one of the following conditions.
VIP
Anyone with an active VIP membership should not see ads.
Moderators
Moderators do a hard and thankless job, this is just a small thing we can do to say thank you.
Contributors
Anyone who has had over 50 clearlogos/cleararts/cdarts/characterarts approved will be able to turn off the ads.
Anyone who has had over 500 of the other types of images approved will also be able to turn the ads off.
Donation
From now on if you make a single donation that is over £20 you wont see an ad again for a year, make a single donation over £50 and you wont see an ad ever again (at least not on fanart.tv, we have no control over other sites)
Awesome @Kode! Hopefully this will be a good incentive for people that hate ads like I do. Makes a nice goal and reward for our loyal contributors. 🙂
How do I turn them back on? I don’t mind them, so I might as well have them. Unless you generate money per click and not per view. Cause if it’s by click they don’t do any good.
It’s by click, but please do NOT click on them unless its an advert you are genuinely interested in
The fact that you take that stance says a lot. Good on you.
I don’t mind ads if they’re non-invasive. If they’re in your face then I’ll generally make a point of not buying that product.
I like the stance you take here.
