Hi, on our forum we allow artistic nudity to be posted. However, this is against the AdSense policy and from time to time they require us to remove AdSense from specific pages. I suspect this can be achieved with some custom Javascript that compares the current topic ID against a blacklist and the…

Why not archive those topics? Archived topics are excluded from google indexing. This would prevent new replies, though. You could also make them unlisted topics which would achieve the same effect without preventing replies.

These topics are allowed under our content policy, so I have no reason to hide them from users.

If you serve AdSense ads through Google Ad Manager (formerly DFP), perhaps you could do something like this: Protections overview - Google Ad Manager Help Learn how Protections can help you manage your brand Protections help you manage your brand, avoid competing advertisers' ads from …

I’m revisiting this topic because AdSense just paused ad serving on our entire site because of a few infringing posts. Best would be if I could not render ad units on selected pages at all. Is there any way I can prevent the Ads Plugin to run on selected pages, or would the maintainers be willing to…

I would say a tag is the way to go, I support a no_ads_tags site setting

I thought about that too, but the issue with tags is that users can remove them again (you can’t ‘lock’ a staff tag, right?). I need to be absolutely sure no ads will be shown on those topics, so I need iron control over the exclusion list - a ‘don’t remove’ policy won’t be enough.

Tags support all sorts of magic. They can be hidden staff only, for example ;p
