Adding Filters
Adding Filters
**************
CSS Filering:
-------------
If no blocking filters are required. A simple,
"winscript site: http://..." is only needed (no adzilla needed)
Filters:
--------
If blocking/Whitelist filters are required (in either Firefox, Opera or Iron)
Using your adzilla login, add the site, and paste the ad url's involved (in the comments).
Once its been added,
"winscript adzilla: #xxxx" (xxxx being the record ID)
Adzilla is used for tracking of additions. So we can work out why blocking rules/whitelists
were added, helps with improving filters if problems occur down the track.
* Note: If a filter needs to be modified/modified, create a new Adzilla record, follow same directions as above.
In the comments, put down why the change was required. etc.
* Note: Once the filter has been uploaded to googlecode set the Adzilla record to be "Completed".
Browser specific Additions
**************************
Iron
----
x Iron doesn't support wildcards
****
so www.website.com/*adbanner* wont work.
Issues/Notes:
x Iron only supports full url (complete, unbroken urls)
(1) Iron doesn't support wildcards
------------------------------
So www.website.com/*adbanner* wont work.
http://www.website.com/img/adbanner.jpg
(2) Iron only supports full url (complete, unbroken urls)
-----------------------------------------------------
Typing in complete urls, http://www.website.com/img/adbanner.jpg
(3) a "/" wont cover http://
------------------------
This wont work in iron, /adbrite.com/
Better to use http://adbrite.com or .adbrite.com (if it has a "." in front)
this wont work in iron, /adbrite.com/ ,
better to use the full url, if you're intending to block that url
=> http://adbrite.com/
(4) Blocking a url, will stop the page from load it
-----------------------------------------------
Even if you visit the site manually, it won't load, be careful.
(5) Iron filters are case sensitive
-----------------------------------
So *adbanner* isn't the same as *adBanner* or *Adbanner* etc, a filter will
need to be created for each instantance. Best to *only* add the case involved.
Adding for each case just adds bloat, we only add filters that we'll come across.
x The "/" only means directory seperator in iron, not http://
(6) Filtering
--------------
* If the filter has http://www.adserver.com, just filter create the filter .adserver.com/
* If the filter is like http://site.com/banners.phps?, a filter using the http://.. is needed.
(7) Removal of filters
----------------------
Occasionally some filters can be problematic, if we do come across any issues. Browsing through Adzilla would
be a start, finding out why it was added, either improving the filter, removing it (depends on popularity).
Remember removing filters, the maintainer has to weigh up the importance of the site, the filter (and other sites affected).
Generally, be careful with any major changes or removals.
x Iron filters are case sensitive
Opera
-----
x Opera supports wildcards
*****
x Will block access to the site directly, so you have to be careful what to block.
Issues/Notes:
example of workable filters:
(1) Avoid the use of the "=" in the urlfilter
---------------------------------------------
Just slows things down in Opera
(2) CSS filtering
-----------------
Basic CSS filtering is supported, but lacking in features like excemptions. Unless the filter is really popular
and causes plenty of false positives, we recommend disabling the CSS filter on sites that it may break.
(3) Blocking a url, will stop the page from load it
-----------------------------------------------
Even if you visit the site manually, it won't load, be careful.
*.domain.com/*banner*
*.domain.com/*.swf
http://*.domain.com/test/*
*.domain.com/test/me/*
*/domain.com/*
(4) Opera filters support Wilcards.. however
--------------------------------------------
Limit the amount of wildcards used 3 at the most, more wildcards the slower the content filter in Opera.
x Limit the amount of wildcards used 3 at the most, more wildcards the slower the content filter in Opera.

(6) Filter preference
----------------------
Its better to create a filter like http://ad.filter.com/* rather than */ad.filter.com/* (its quicker)
