Blocking TLDs

Is it impossible?

I wanted to get rid of all .org sites advertising on my site. Never have seen a single good ad from this TLD, almost all of them are from desparate MFAs who could not find a suitable domain, and the rest is for charities and other non-commercial sites.

Guess what? You can't block TLDs. Trying to do so results in an error message. Though I feel that entering "org" should be fine. Where is the difference to "xyz.com" or "subdomain.xyz.com"?

Anyway, that's another improvement suggestion for our friends at The Plex - please put it right after "increase filter list to 500 entries". :-)

I'm not sure it's wise to block all .org's.

However, if G is listening, this may not be a bad feature to add. It might be helpful to be able to block things like .ru or .pl ...

(Disclaimer: I have nothing against those countries, these were just an example.)
