IN SUMMARY: When Verringer was on the site, we paid for Premium and have had our benefits taken from us so MC-Market can make more money. I feel as if we should be rightfully compensated, or our benefits restored.

A couple months ago we (premium members) had an issue where there was a banner added to the top of our screens, as the photo below shows [no this is not just a petty gripe I have, in addition, this isn't the only advert]. When we originally bought premium, we were promised an ad-free experience - there was nothing in the terms/conditions (as I'm sure others can vouch, from back when Verringer was here) saying that this could change in the future [please note that this was not the only benefit changed]. I was pretty pissed off with this, as were a few other members, and thus a post was created where we had a discussion on this - this thread is now removed, for reasons unknown and (I believe) no contact from staff members about this to the public. I, personally, find this really disrespectful considering that I paid for an ad-free experience, from what I thought was a reliable site, and then later find out that our 'benefits' are being removed/altered, and even some of them being removed just so MC-Market can get even more money by creating a new rank. Now I know some of you are going to say, "whats the big deal", which is fair enough but I don't think you see our perspective - we paid for something, and were in summary scammed; by MC-Market. If anyone makes up any crap about 'the site needs the money to keep it online', thats bull****, you really think someone would have bought it if it wasn't make a reasonable income? I'm not really active anymore on this site (because of many reasons), but I've shared what I've wanted to say, and you can all feel free to share your thoughts on the matter too.

PS * Please may I ask that no one gives the staff any excuse to remove/lock this thread, so keep it civil.

Edit: Oh, also, it would be nice to know why the previous thread was removed, if for any reason.

We were promised nothing from AdSense, nothing was said about Featured Ads. There's a difference.
That was changed recently.

Block successful.

I no longer see the ad
Good job, it's useful for me - but we shouldn't have to do this to get what we paid for. Myself and others shouldn't have to go out of our way to do that. This wasn't the only issue either.

Well, there is something we can do. You just said that they changed TOS, something I don't even believe we first agreed to (it wasn't the most formal thing back at the beginning) [I'm referencing the part about change in TOS, not the TOS itself]. Also, I'm sure that they added that rule after people like me and maybe yourself 'donated' to the site. If what you're saying is right, then I think it is clear that staff are trying to keep their money-making methods away from members of the site to benefit only themselves.

I also believe this is not fair but we cannot do much and i personally don't have a copy of old TOS and i'm not sure what rules was in there (but ad free experience was) when i purchased premium but one is clear ... staff tried to suppress users when they turned ads on and they tried to cover rule changing as well...later they deleted tread but they will never admit it.

I believe Doge also saw those old TOS (sorry for tagging you if i'm mistaken)

Edit:Also i believe adblock will not help for mobile users...

Yes, it used to be "ad-free". The same thing happened last time where there was an uproar and it ended in ads being disabled for Supreme only (It used to be a Premium+ feature).

Well, I think most of us think that it should go back to being what it was originally, and same with the rest of the features. We don't ask for anything more, even after all this time.

Xeron please read the TOS again. It clearly states Premium users get an AdSense-free experience. AdSense is displayed at the bottom for normal users. The promoted/featured advertisements are not removable as it helps MCM generate revenue.

They didn't scam us. We got what we were promised. You're overlooking this.
When I said "ad free," I meant ad free, with the exception of sidebar ads. Verringer just got greedy.
