Rule 2.1: Don't dispute moderation actions in public.
1. Bring receipts, son.
Regardless of the veracity of your issues, he did. The fact that his comments with "retard" etc. get flagged, while yours, arguably even worse ("parasite") are not, isn't doing you any favours.

They also clearly show that whoever is doing the flagging is a failure as a mod to a hilarious extent. Mod-bro, if you're reading this, take the grass guy's advice and find a better way to live, for everyone's sake.

Or find a userscript or adblocking rule that prevents that element from loading.
There are various Tampermonkey extensions for preventing anti-adblock measures and they work pretty well, from my experience.

Rule 3.5: Don't derail threads with what can otherwise be discussed privately in DMs or in a separate thread.

The 'parasite' statement wasn't mine, so try again. I'm well aware of what I said.

Referring back to the rules:
2. Be respectful towards staff.

Rules 1, 2.1 & 3.5

Right, after checking again, it was indeed pussy-sensei that rebutted with that. Sorry about the confusion. My second point stands though, which brings me to...

Referring back to the rules:
Haven't we already been through this? Respect (as I'm sure you'll agree) is a two-way street, just like responsibility. One does not get to dump all responsibility preemtively on the other party, or demand unilateral respect no matter their actions. Not to even mention "don't dispute mod double standards in public". It's insane that you'd even suggest this is a valid thing to do. Though on second thought, you did previously say that everyone should just stop talking about the issues at hand, so maybe it's not that strange for you. As for myself, hard pass.

The real question here should be the Supporter part, like, the idea of AD's is to pay for the operational costs of the server, alright, fair.

But here is the thing, why all the Support Tiers are billed monthly, no one thought of having a Tier which can make a one time in life payment and that's it? At least just so the person can block the AD's?

One-time payments don't pay for recurring expenses such as server costs. That's why so many companies are moving from one-time payments to subscriptions. If you pay 50 USD once, and that turns off ads forever, that won't pay the bills.

But yeah, it would be nice to be able to pay for X months of ad-free browsing upfront -- once -- instead of having to enter into a subscription agreement.

It kind of seems like the NamiComi coin system allows for this - it appears you can do a one-time purchase of coins. Not sure whether it'll let you gradually feed those to Dex-chan each month without having a recurring coin purchase set up, but the framework appears to be there to do this.

I don't mind ads, whether they're necessary to cover expenses or not. Most people don't appreciate the work and expenses involved in running a large website like this one.

As for the ads (at least for PC), I think they should be vertical banners on the sides, which are usually empty space. No sound or video, and please god, no pop-ups.

Opera GX is completely fine; it's not spyware. Edge and Chrome are just as bad, if not worse, at collecting data. If all advertisers are like Opera then you are already have better Ads than most sites.

It's a chromium-trash browser.
That's bad enough
