Self promo filters
-=================-
        * Generally not considered ads, but items that can distract from the main content of the website.
        * Eliminating any whitespace left over from standard Adblocking.

Block social media sites
-=======================-
        * Domains blocked by the Annoyances filter will be 3rd party only, and shouldn't affect the site directly.
        * Any social sites affected directly by the Annoyances filter will be corrected when reported.

International Annoyances
-======================-
        * Generic international elements will be added as normal generic filters.
        * International requests will be added (elements, 3rd-party, site specific filters) into a seperate section.
        * International white lists and Site specific exceptions are included in the same sections as the english sections.
        * For users not wanting International support, an English only list is available.

Submission of Filters
-===================-
        * The site needs to be fairly popular to get any site specific blocks.
        * If the site some decent generic elements, filters or commonly used 3rd party annoyances, it may* be accepted for inclusion.

Filters not accepted
-===================-
        * If the site is designed around social aspect, the filters will be either whitelisted, excempted or removed.
        * Disabling comments used by the social websites (such as facebook chat within a website)
        * Disabling donation buttons (assuming they don't override or hide webpage content)
        * Blocking of some popular sites outright like Twitter, Facebook etc. Just aiming to block the certain scripts used on each site.
        * If a blocked toolbar or CSS element limits functionality of site, it shall be removed. (searching, Login to the site)
           => If the site can offer the functionality through another method, blocking a toolbar or element could be permitted.


* Filter removals, suggestions and additions are at the discretion of the subscription author.
