Yeah. This. I think I've worn out my welcome in the past by nattering at Jay in emails and support tickets about the need for better publisher control over the network ads. I'd really like to be able to opt out of rotating network ads entirely on my higher-quality sites, and where I do choose to run network ads, I'd like to be able to make the system entirely opt-in on an ad-by-ad or advertiser-by-advertiser basis, rather than playing ruski roulette every day under the current "opt out after it's too late" system. Why not let publishers choose the portion of the network inventory they're willing to put next to their content, so we don't have to cringe in dreadful anticipation every time we reload our own pages?

Jay's got some high-quality network inventory that I'm pleased to rotate with my own filler ads while I wait for the next paid-spot customer. But unfortunately he's also got a ton of the fuck-a-slut, enlarge-your-penis, free-teen-virgin-cams inventory that I can't have anywhere on my better sites. (Same with PlugRush, this isn't aimed at JuicyAds particularly, it's a problem everywhere that I know of.) It's gotten so hard to filter out the unacceptable inventory that I'm basically to the point of logging in every so often, hitting the "block campaign" button, and blocking all the new campaigns that I see except for the obviously-not-sleazy ones. Needless to say, I'd welcome any innovation that saved me from that chore.
