I don't like it. Got it THREE times yesterday and in two cases it took me I don't know how many clicks to make it go away. I normally don't like hiding features by custom CSS but in this case I think I have to because it's starting to get on my nerves. -_-

I actually really liked this banner since I'm trying to finish off collections and therefore visit the Hustler page far too often checking for new stocks (the ping group is awesome but every once in awhile will miss something if the stock changes too quickly). I haven't had it come up for pretty much any new stocks in the past week or so though. I do hope the option comes back (or gets fixed if that's not supposed to be happening), but I agree with others that an opt out option would be a good solution for those who don't want the banner showing up.

I haven't gotten it in a while either. Which stinks, because I liked it. I got 2 wishlist items from the flash sale banner!

I never looked at the custom CSS feature, but thanks to this thread I'm grateful for it allowing me to disable this. I never have CSC on hand, so these Hustler alerts are completely useless to me and just serve as pointless spamming.

Thanks Speiro for the CSS to get rid of the banner. I have kind of a love/hate thing with it- it's nice, especially for people that want the alerts, but I don't enjoy having the site pushing me to spend my CSC when I bought them specifically for autotraining.

Came here specifically to complain about how annoying it was and ask if anyone had found a way to remove it yet.

Thanks for the CSS, Speiro!

I could not hate that thing more. Maybe if it showed up like an announcement instead of blocking all access to the site it wouldn't be so bad, but the enormous banner is ugly and frustrating. I love subeta and the changes are usually great, but this one is not.

I have no problem if it's just a message, but I don't like it to get the risk to buy something by accident when it was not my intention. At this moment I must be aware, because the hustler can eppear so suddendly. I prefer to spend any kind of CSC for my own choices. You know?

I really dislike this banner :( I loved the stalking and interaction in the ping group thread, with people who are actually interested in what the Hustler provides.

Also, ugly. Like, really ugly. I wish it was an event in the sidebar instead or something.

In the sidebar as a widget? Less intrusive, optional. Great! I'd probably use that. :)

I like the banner, but for those who do not have the CSC to spend in the cash shop, I could see how this banner is annoying to them. Subeta is a free site though, so you would have to expect some form of advertising. At least they are advertising for their own site and not others.

This really wouldn't bug me so much if it didn't sit so obtrusively over top of all my navigation. I wanted to give it a chance even though I can't afford to buy anything from him, but I find myself getting increasingly infuriated with it. If it could come up like an RE or pop up in my sidebar as an event or widget, I think I'd really find myself less frustrated (and possibly more likely to check out what he's offering). As it is, I'll be updating my custom CSS to keep him from hijacking my nav.

I hate how it shows on pet pages cause I keep thinking it's a clearing message for a couple of pets I've been looking at. xD

At first I didn't mind it, as several of my WL items had been a flash sale, but as my csc dwindles and the flash sales interest me less it's become bothersome. Especially because it blocks the top of the navigation normally.

I put the custom CSS into place, but I think I did something wrong because it's not actually blocking it. Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

I really like the banner honestly, but then I tended to check the CS Hustler everyday so for me it's helpful since I don't have to worry about forgetting to check or missing anything. I don't find it intrusive either (I haven't had any problems with it not disappearing immediately or getting in the way of the navigation though, I can see how that would be annoying).

I hate this banner. It's annoying. I get it every.single.day.all.the.time. I've never bought anything from the Cash Shop Hustler. It's worn out its welcome, and it's clearly not working to suck me in, so can't it get off my screen already and go bother someone else who has CSC? D:

Why is there still no option to disable this? I'm sick of seeing ads every time I go to a pet's profile.

I don't like this ad at all, GAs are supposed to be ad free....what the heck?

Suggestions:

  1. Make it so people can opt in/out of the hustler ad permanently not just item to item
  2. Make sure the x actually kills the ad
  3. Stop letting people believe this is not an ad, this is adding ads to the GA "ad-free" space, not cool

Note: I got AdBlock on this computer specifically because of this ad. So, thanks! It feels like a cheap popup ad, in a way it makes me feel like this site got about 50% sleazier with this hustler ad banner

I think the only reason most people aren't complaining about it still is AdBlock.
