    Default Advertising suspension

    Austech has had its Adsense advertising suspended. Obviously this is a major issue as this accounts for most of the sites income.


    We will be appealing this decision after reviewing everything on the site and making sure it complies with their policies. Please do not complain if your avatar is removed or post is removed, as a guide to what we will remove, please see their policy below :


    Google ads may not be placed on pages with adult or mature content. This includes, but is not limited to, pages with images or videos containing:

    Strategically covered nudity
    Sheer or see-through clothing
    Lewd or provocative poses
    Close-ups of breasts, buttocks, or crotches
    For more information about keeping your content family-safe, please review our program guidelines and these tips from the policy team.

    Additionally, you can watch our short animated video & policy refreshers on this topic.



    AdSense publishers may not display Google ads on webpages with content protected by copyright law unless they have the necessary legal rights to display that content. This includes sites that display copyrighted material, sites hosting copyrighted files, or sites that provide links driving traffic to sites that contain copyrighted material.

    Examples of copyrighted content which may require legal rights in order to be displayed include, but are not limited to:

    Television shows, movies, and audio files
    Access to streaming cable or satellite television
    Books and/or e-books
    Video games
    Images.
    If you did not create the content yourself or if you created it using other peoples’ content as source material then you should ask yourself if you have a license or if an exception applies. For more information about potentially infringing content, please review our program policies and these tips from the policy team about avoiding copyright infringement.

    Additionally, you can watch our short animated video & policy refreshers on this topic.

    We will replace any removed avatars with an avatar that simply says "removed" or similar and you can then add a new one whenever you like. Basically, this is only going to apply to avatars that fall in to this group :

    Strategically covered nudity
    Sheer or see-through clothing
    Lewd or provocative poses
    Close-ups of breasts, buttocks, or crotches

    More importantly, we need member to post report any breach of adsense rules. We will be updating the site rules to reflect these changes before submitting an appeal. The general consensus is its almost impossible to rely on Adsense if you run it on a forum but we will prove this wrong.

    Last time I was in Adelaide the public libraries there had access to this site on a blacklist due to the images contained therein (I asked why.)

    It's going to take help from all members to find those images as google probably trawl the whole forum from the first to last post.

    And the Sistine Chapel

    & the Russian Palaces, &, &, &, &, ad infinitum.

    I guess we are insulting another very vocal minority group again?

    Political correctness is off the planet.

    Believe it or not all animals are nude & everybody is nude under their clothing.

    OK, had my rant, rules are rules I will abide by them.
    Cheers, Tiny

    So you have to wear a condom for a little (sic) while
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    Maybe we should all adopt Weirdo's new avatar as a silent protest. Problem is, google won't care, and the only people it will hurt are ourselves. However, I do second Tiny's suggestion that more become premium members to help with the costs of running of this site.

    Umm are you sure its not part of the crackdown on sites offering streams links etc?

    Thats a users choice!
    Is Adsense really a income? I would have thought the pay rate would be very minimal?
