Inclusion proposals for "acceptable ads" list are discussed here. New topics cannot be created, constructive comments are welcome, flaming will be removed.
Судя по всему, у вас разрешена "приемлемая реклама". Для её отключения нужно кликнуть по иконке APB, выбрать в появившемся меню "Настройки фильтров" и снять галочку с пункта "Разрешить некоторую ненавязчивую рекламу".

На сколько я понял они отказались от трюка с !important в блоке #ads_left и потому я хочу заменить фильтр vk.com###ads_left * на vk.com###ads_left.
Можете заранее внести vk.com#@##ads_left в список приемлемой рекламы?

Hi Lain, would you mind translating your message into English? I don't understand it and the ABP team would also like to read it.
Oh! Heh, I intended to wrote that in English, but… somehow forgot. O_O
As I understand VK dropped that trick with !important in the #ads_left block. So, I want to replace filter "vk.com###ads_left *" with "vk.com###ads_left".
However, this will break exception "vk.com#@##ads_left *". Is it possible to add "vk.com#@##ads_left" into acceptable ads list in advance?

why did you add vk ads to acceptable list without consulting users? I as an adblock user want to view acceptable ads however i dont consider vk ads acceptable. they are out of color scheme and they have a switching animation which catches your eye, this is not acceptable. I request removal of vk ads from acceptable list.
p.s. I know i can add vk to the list of rules, however there are a lot of users on vk who won't do it. they shouldn't view such a pesky ad.
thanks for enganging and your active contribution . First, I'd like to apologize for the slight delay in getting back to you. We have looked into your complain and there are 2 things I'd like to get back to.
1. you claim they are out of color scheme - would you mind explaining what you mean by that?
2. You claimed there is a switching animation - Actually the ad re-loads only one time along with the user interacting with the site. Only when the entire site loads, the ad loads along. Without interaction the ad is static. This is in compliance with the Acceptable Ads criteria (Compare the section in the en/acceptable-ads#criteria saying "What is not considered an Acceptable Ad?: Ads that visibly load new ads if the Primary Content does not change". In this example the content does change, so the ad can change.
VK doesn't follow acceptable ads policy, rules 1 'Placement" and 2 "Distinction". For now, ads are placed in-between content and distinguished only by grayed out word "ad post". Please see my screenshot below.

Hello klyok. Thanks for your active contribution wirh regards to the Acceptable Ads program in general. Unfortunately I couldn’t open the screenshot you attached, however, I assume you mean the ad in the start feed. I went ahead and reviewed this case. That position is considered acceptable though as the Acceptable Ads Criteria define it this way: Acceptable Ads Criteria > ‚Specific criteria‘ > 03 In-Feed Ads > „Ads are permitted in between entries and feeds.“ Hence, there is no violation in this case.

About the 'ad post' tag that you mean, it also adjusts to the Acceptable Ads guidelines. As stated in the criteria:
"Ads should always be recognizable as ads and distinguishable from all other content (e.g. are not hiding the label, are not misleading users into thinking an ad is part of the primary content). Ads should be clearly marked with the word "advertisement" or its equivalent."
The word "ad" is considered a shorter, equivalent form of 'advertisement', thus making the ad recognizable at the first glance and therefore acceptable.
Hi! Since today I'm seeing ads with English interface. Would you comment on that? Something changed?
P.S. This basically forces my hand to disallow acceptable ads because (though they may not violate acceptable ads rules) they are still irrelevant so I would never want to click them, also the pictures they use are ugly and disgusting, and the phrasing they use is often illiterate.
