Regarding adverts

Hey guys, I have ad removal on my forum and I'm using Google Adsense to show ads from Google instead. I was wondering, as I'm constantly making changes to my forum, am I allowed to show adverts to the Admin group (I'm the only member in the group) to save ad credits?

Looking at the documentation for Ad Removal it looks as if that isn't possible -

Quote:
 
As stated in the ZetaBoards TOS:

You may not place the following forms of advertising on your board unless you have purchased ad removal and are actively using it for all user groups:

1.
Content-targeted Advertising
2.
Advertising that mimics or copies the look of AdSense advertising
3.
Pop-ups for downloads or that interfere with navigation of the board

Any other type of advertising is allowed.

Thus, when you are using Ad Removal, you may use any of the above types of ads in addition to the advertising methods that are allowed at all times.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but I'm wondering if as I'm the admin of the forum it would be that damaging to allow just myself to see ZetaBoards' ads.

In order to have you own ads having purchased ad removal you have to have ad removal active for ALL groups - So allowin turning off ad credits for you would be breaking the TOS as it would then mean it was not actrive for all groups

The main problem comes with having two different Adsense codes showing on the same page. That's why we have to require that you have ad removal turned on for all groups if you're using your own adsense code. If you had other types of ads, other than adsense, you would be able to do what you're referring to :)

Actually that brings up another question Brian, do page views in the Admin CP consume Ad Credits?

Ah I see, that's a shame.
Thanks for the quick replies though!

An ad removal credit is only used when an ad would have displayed. As no ads display in the Admin CP, no credits are used.
