You should not reieved a warning for the use of the word "ebay" if they do, then you can complain about it.
I suppose you'd need to prove that whatever you said was referncing and not selling though, which is easy enough.

Adam said on here that no one should be warned or frozen for saying "ebay" on the boards, so maybe the monitors have been told off about it now. I haven't heard of anyone warned/frozen for it since our member (I've forgotten her username, sorry! Am rubbish) was a while back.

I'm from Norway and in my last 25 pageviews I've gotten 3 non-neo adverts...

Hmm...I decided to turn off my add blocker and experiment.
I found that a very high amount of the adds were non neo. I saw AOL, one for John Kerry (Yes, for some reason, after the election), Ebay, AOL (AGAIN!), one with a swimsuit model on it, etc. The list goes on.
A small amount of non neo adds? HAH! Thats not even CLOSE.
I recall reading somewhere in an editorial:
We will never have large banner adds or popupps on the site
Hm...rriiigghttttt

Let's see ...
cursorzone (the one that makes your own cursor go insane),
ebay,
aol call alert (that one makes my puter so slow, takes about a minute for a page to load),
capital one,
monster.com (for job seeking),
2 different on-line universities,
wall street journal,
one for a car (can't remember which one),
callwave (awful place to have people clicking through to - full of spyware),
one for a "free" iPod and one for a "free" Vuitton bag (I wonder how much stuff you have to sign up for/buy for the "free" item),
and a truly appalling one I saw for the first time last night - an ad showing eyes sewn shut and a scalpel near them with learn the truth (something like that) written on the scalpel. I believe it's supposed to be an anti-smoking site. But that ad's enough to give ME nightmares. I can't imagine what it could do to a little one sitting and seeing that.
Yes, all those ads were just last night. For some bizarre reason, I decided to keep track.
Average for me? 2 Neo ads, then between 3 and 5 outside ads. Eventually I think there won't be any Neo ads - they'll all be outside ads.

The free Fendi Black Zucchini handbag deal is a scam?
