We need some protection against the damn commercial on this site.
It plays, with loud sound; and there is no way to stop it.

2. Plug in headphones
They don't have to be connected to your ear. :)

The internet generally doesn't require sound (doing this makes other internet ads less intrusive too), and if you want to do something that requires sound, such as listening to music or playing games, just put the headphones on.

4. Any site that hosts obtrusive, sound-playing ads is playing with fire.
They risk losing users who aren't willing to put up with obnoxious audio every time they click a link. it's insulting.

7. At the bottom of every page...
is a link with contact info:
