Hi @anhduypro,

As Forumotion is a free service, adverts will display on your forum unless you choose to disable them via credits. Ads are a primary source of revenue for the service ( along with credits ) which helps bring you new features and a free, quality platform. Removing the adverts via coding will put your forum at risk of termination. As such, if you're found to be doing this, your forum will most likely be terminated without warning.

Hello,

Yes, as Ange said above, if you remove the ad(s) using any coding, css or not, without paying for them to be removed via credits your forum will be in violation of the forumotion TOU and will be subject to removal by the litigation team with or without warning. I would strongly suggest against doing this.

And how about i set their opacity to 0.1? I dont remove it, sir.

I believe if you modify them at all without using credts, you could be in violation of Forumotion's TOU.

Any modification to the adverts will be going against the ToS as disrespect of our terms.

forumotion.com is entirely free site. We strive to offer quality service. We ask that you do not remove the copyright information set up on your forums on the toolbar and the footer through means other than the one provided, namely via the credits management.
It is also forbidden to remove or hide the sponsored links through any means other than the one provided, namely the credits management. We provide a quality service completely free and are always looking to improve it to meet your expectations. For these reasons, we ask that you respect our terms.

If you want to remove the adverts you should do so via Credits management, otherwise you put your forum at risk of termination. There is nothing more to say in regards to that. Zen

Lets get to the point you remove the ad's or do anything to them with out paying for it you will loose your forum.
This goes for any ad's on your forum and the copyright on the toolbar and footer of your forum.
TOS is a must stick by rule. Break them loose your forum (Fact )

Yes, but it means you're attempting to hide it. As such, you're still in breach of our terms for hiding the adverts. If Forumotion wanted you to move or modify the ads they would give you options in the AP, but they don't. Why ? Basic advertising ; you want the ads to display and be visible where the user is bound to see them most. Thus increasing the chances one may see and visit an ad that interests them. Attempting to hide or move these ads from view will adversely affect Forumotion AND the advertiser.

Furthermore, if I catch you posting codes like this again which breach our terms I wont hesitate to give you a warning. There's nothing more to discuss on this topic, you know the consequences and if your forum gets banned it'll be your own fault. Wink
