January 5, 200818 yr Well, yesterday I've decided to install some brand new security addons for my FF, and noticed a strange thing. The F2p ads just vanished and can't be brought back :/ I dunno, have they disabled them or is it just by the NoScript? If so, why can't I bring them back ? Ty -K ^ my book :^_^: I don't play anymore, but I'm grateful I played through the best RS times!
January 5, 200818 yr The point of NoScript is to get rid of ads.... Unless you really think that you not viewing ads will make a difference just keep NoScript on, it isn't illegal.

RuneScape's rule 15 states You must not deliberately block or hide the adverts which appear above the free version of our game.So yes by hiding the ads you are breaking the rules, but it is nearly impossible for Jagex to find out if your blocking them.

What I meant is there's a difference between a silly little game rule and an actual law. I meant that it isn't actually illegal to use an ad blocker. It is 'technicly' against the rules though for runescape, not like anyone pays attention or they have a way of catching you though.
January 7, 200818 yr They won't find out. The rule is there to make naive people allow their ads. Besides, you're not doing it deliberately are you? so it's legal..

"You must not deliberately block or hide the adverts which appear above the free version of our game." Installing NoScript is 'deliberately' blocking them. You made the choice to install NoScript, which is specifically made to block flash content and flash ads. You have made the choice to block them regardless of whether you acknowledge it was specifically for ads or not. There really isn't any legal argument behind it. The data is on your machine at the time the page is rendered and you're free to manipulate that as you wish. Yes it can hurt ad revenue for websites and yes there is a moral boundary there for some people. If people wish to install it and block advertising, so be it, it isn't up to other people to make that decision for them.
January 7, 200818 yr Maybe if they had CLEAN ADS then people wouldn't mind but I hear that the flash ones and the ones that say you got a trojan and need to download this program to clean is just retarted. I heard they had some 18+ ads sometimes. It's pathetic. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER! So do it. I am Teh_King[My dA][My Last.FM][My Twitter]
January 7, 200818 yr I'd say go for it. If they don't want you blocking the ads, but you say they're putting stuff on your computer, go ahead and block them.
January 8, 200818 yr Whats it mater if he uses it or not I say. They wont find out :S And if you want to give Runescape its ad-revenue, Then (this only works with AdBlock Plus) Then simply select allow ads from this domain.

You have made the choice to block them regardless of whether you acknowledge it was specifically for ads or not. Is it? Perhaps you made the choice to install NoScript for different reasons, with as side effect that RuneScape's ads are gone, you wouldn't be "deliberately removing RS' ads" but just "trying to make your browser safer" or something like that?
