Ah ok didn't know that. Im suprised any site has a warning then as they could just say it's essential (to provide you with better targeted ads :-) ).

I would imagine most sites have the warning to stop messages from users saying "why don't you have the warning, you are breaking the law"

The user has to actively want the service and take steps specifically to obtain it. I don't think anybody has ever actively wanted or sought out the ads on any website

In my experience, most sites have it because some manager with no legal knowledge who hadn't read anything but a vague misinformed story about it on a news website said "Something must be done", so some web developer searched for a jQuery plugin that did the needful and stuck the first one they found on the site

Has NAT tried to ban Admin yet, or just himself?

Watching NAT trying to ban admin makes me think of Roadrunner for some reason.

In Firefox it used to be possible to disable images (just had a look and can't see the option in current version), as well as disabling custom fonts, coloured links, etc. which did a pretty good job of dumbing things down.

Or you could always use lynx or suchlike.

Or that hilarious March 31st joke when RH banned the other moderators.
