Surely then if there is concern over spam/junk sites, then why not allow advertisers to block url's as a webmaster can block advertisers url's appearing on their site.

If advertisers continue to let ads run on junk sites then everyone can start writing junk sites :-) or if they don't, then where's the financial incentive for someone to maintain a junk site? without ad revenue which is surely what it was created for... doesn't that break the cycle?

No need then for complicated terms and conditions, as much of this post appears to advocate or discuss, with no means to police it effectively.

No doubt there will be some complications with advertisers perhaps cherry picking where their ad appears using the argument; it's a 'junk site' for legitimate sites but ones they don't want to advertise with, but that could be discussed and sorted out if it ever came to pass?

but what do i know :-)
