I assume it applies only to free/sponsored+ users, but still. Via /.: "The community/blogging site LiveJournal recently introduced ads on some pages for free users. More interestingly, they also added a new restriction to their TOS (XVI 17 b.) banning users from using or providing ad-blocking software. The new TOS also permits them to immediately terminate the account of anyone they catch doing this."

Saw that option and thought "Do I really want to alienate the four people who read my journal *that* badly?"

Let me see if I've got this straight. You've got ad-blocking software on your PC, you're cruising, say, metaquotes, you follow a link to check context, the person's account has ads, LJ detects you blocking the ads and bans you?

Wow, I hope that's not what they meant.
