Blocklist Additions - Kye-U - Jan. 20, 2009 05:27 AM
This thread is intended to be a topic where you can share any links/code that have some unwanted element not removed.
I came across a banner that wasn't blocked (which was quite noticeable as it's the first one I've come across ITW with Sidki's latest config pack, a really good thing
).Sidki, please let me know if my approach is correct, and if it's the best method of removing these elements

I'm going to explain it from a developer perspective, not the one of a private user.
How to block ads depends on the scope you want to target.
Single sites:
You wouldn't use the general ad lists, but try to manage it with the specific lists, AdKeys-S and IncludeExclude(-U).
If a solution with site-specific lists isn't possible, if you don't see any generic patterns, and if it isn't a very popular site, you would leave the ad alone and live with it.
If it's a very popular site and the ad is annoying, you would think about that problem while promenading, cooking, etc.
Example for AdKeys-S:
Code:
www.vcdq.com/ $SET(sAdKey=.textbanner.)As for the IncludeExclude lists, the respective section is:
3 INCLUDE (BLOCK, FAKE, SITE-SPECIFIC)
Generic additions:
You would add test entries to the respective general lists.
1st case - AdPaths:
Code:
aff.id
($TST(volat=*.log:[12]*)$ADDLST(Log-Rare,ALST AdP aff.id\t\u)|)2nd case - AdKeys:
Code:
textbanner
&&(($TST(volat=*.log:[12]*)\8&$ADDLST(Log-Rare,AKEY-H \8 \t\u))|*)3rd case - AdHost-J:
Code:
([^/]++.|)cpmstar.com/
&&(($TST(volat=*.log:[12]*)\8&$ADDLST(Log-Rare,ALST AdHj \8 \t\u))|*)Regarding case 3, once you get a couple of matches, you would narrow ([^/]++.|) further down (i think i've seen server.cpmstar.com ads before).
If you're a super professional, you would also add a "cpmstar.com" test entry to AdDomains, which matches after AdHosts-J, to see if this domain also serves non-JS ads.
Regarding all cases, you would regularly check your Log-Rare.log and wait for 3-20 matches per test entry, depending on severeness / annoyance-level.
It doesn't matter if an entry looks plausible. For instance, right now i have test entries in AdPaths for coread(s|) , adsleft[a-z0-9]+ , adsright[a-z0-9]+ , popover[0-9]+. They all just produced one or two hits so far, so they probably won't make it into the distributed list.
RE: Blocklist Additions - Kye-U - Feb. 01, 2009 05:49 AM
Thanks for that very informative post; I've certainly learned more about the blocklists and the work behind deciding which strings are generic or site-specific!
I was thinking, would it be helpful to you if members told you how many times "coread(s|) , adsleft[a-z0-9]+ , adsright[a-z0-9]+ , popover[0-9]+" were matched?

Absolutely! The entire "matched" lines, that is. You'll find all matches for code/list entries which are currently under test in your Log-Rare.log. In beta configs there's a lot of them, in release configs very few.
RE: Blocklist Additions - Toppy - Feb. 06, 2009 07:09 AM
Hi sidki,
I would like to log these entries, (and do a lot of surfing
) to post some results, could you just elaborate which of those 3 cases need to be added please ? 
RE: Blocklist Additions - sidki3003 - Feb. 06, 2009 01:56 PM
Hi Toppy, i've already removed above mentioned test entries, but there's a lot under test in the config version you're using. If you open your Log-Rare.log, you'll see several types of entries, distinguishable by their initial string.
AKEY: entries in the AdKey lists
ALST: entries in other ad lists
HDR: test code in header filters
WEB: test code in web filters
If you'd like to post/attach any of these, great.

Thanks again guys, you're accelerating things significantly.

RE: Blocklist Additions - 43unite - Feb. 07, 2009 03:13 PM
Here's my log-rare. Hope that it helps.
RE: Blocklist Additions - sidki3003 - Feb. 07, 2009 08:34 PM
Thanks 43unite. Sure.
whenever, good idea, for Log-Rare.
Log-Main is somewhat different. It doesn't log test code matches, but all filter hits that may cause problems on a page.
Logging is time-stamped and invoked by CTRL + SHIFT + Reload.
(I always use this log file, instead of the log window; latter just for looking at headers.)

Code:

#
# LOGFILE NOADDURL LST(Log-Rare) -- Naoko 4.5
# Logs uncommon filter hits and test code matches
#
# The type of entry can be identified by its initial string:
# AKEY: Test entries in one of the AdKey lists
# ALST: Test entries in other ad lists
# HDR: Header filters -- Rare hits or test code matches
# WEB: Web filters -- Rare hits or test code matches

# You can help improving this config set by sending in those entries that you
