Against. Doesn't seem...fun. Yes, yes, a terrible reason to vote against something, but that's tyranny by the masses, isn't it? Err, democracy.

Nay, because I think something is missing in Clause B. We need a restriction on ad-spammers linking to images or anything else that is not their advertised region.

Nay. I feel such blanket restrictions would restrict a lot of creative advertisers along with the lazy copy/paste spammers.I do think we need an Ad Spam Policy, but this is too black & white.
