• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Google is going berserk!

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

Yeah, I make a bit of money off of Google Adsense through the ads that are being displayed on my sites. But I swear that they are really getting on my nerves lately. I get "violations" every now and again, and although they make it rather tedious to figure out what the heck they are talking about, usually I will find what they are yelping about and just laugh at what I see.

Take today, for instance. I get another email notice about a Policy Violation.
Your AdSense Publisher Policy Violation Report for pub-55041538919XXXXX on Feb 8, 2020

New violations were detected. As a result, ad serving has been restricted or disabled on pages where these violations of the AdSense Program Policies were found. To resolve the issues, you can either remove the violating content and request a review, or remove the ad code from the violating pages.

So I go into my Adsense account to try to figure out what they are complaining about. And I finally find this:

Shocking content - Restricted demand

What?? I guess you need to look at what they consider as "shocking content" via the provided link. :rolleyes:
