I wanted to have the program done at the first of August, but the imbedded image tactic used by spammers is causing me to have to add code that will allow manual complaint submission as well. I am including this feature so that not only will people be able to automatically drag and drop text based spam, but will also be able to submit complaints for fax, sms, blog, and other types of spam. By resorting to new tactics such as image embedding, spammers have only forced me to increase the the types of spam that will generate complaints. Computer programs may not be able to read many types of embedded images, but people viewing these images will be able to pick out a spamvertised site from a list. Each time a spamvertised site is selected from this list, an individual complaint will be generated. I understand that there is a possibility for spam victims to resort to sending multiple complaints for each spam, but this is unavoidable since spammers have forced me to add this list selection feature. It is my hope that spam victims take the high road and submit only one complaint to the appropriate site for each spam received.

I have tried several times to watch TBS, TNT, and other Turner channels.
Just tonight I started to watch “Phone Booth” on TNT. Commercials not only
took too much of the viewing time, but they were also popping up on the
screen during the time the movie was playing. “30 Days” ads or banners
popping up on the bottom of the screen are very annoying. This may now be
the standard practice for TBS as well as other Turner stations, but it is not
appreciated by many.

People who subscribe to cable or satelite packages pay good money to be
able to watch TBS. I’m sure that most want to watch movies or shows free of
pop-up ads at the bottom. While I can see that these pop-up are there to
make people aware of other shows, the regular advertisements during
commercial breaks produce adequate awareness. Saturating television screens
over and over with ads, banners, pop-ups, etc just annoys most of your
audiance.

I do know that videos that are created for Internet use do not have these
annoying pop-ups. Most of these Internet videos are free for downloading and
many are quite entertaining. There are quite a few people who are extremely
annoyed at your advertising techniques. While most do not take the time to
write, they may be quite happy when they find alternative ways to get content
that your channels carry. Just be careful that you do not price and
advertise TBS out of a viewing audiance. I no longer have TNT, TBS, and
other Turner channels on my favorites list.

I encourage all those who read this post to also complain to Turner about this advertisement policy and also let them know that there are alternatives.
