Sourceforge in Badware Filters

[AsukaLangleyfag]

SourceForge pledges to present third-party offers only with the projects that explicitly opted-in to that program.
Mirrors which are not co-maintained with the one or more of the original developers, except where the upstream site has been discontinued, have been removed effective immediately.

Yes, I noticed that too...

And what do you suggest?

Shall we do a vote? ;-)

This does not mean SourceForge's downloads won't be affected with badware. Filezilla is a project which opted-in, and it's affected with badware.

Well, I suggest to make a blacklist for projects who's opted for program instead of blocking the whole site since some distros like Manjaro for example uses Sourceforge as their download location and some projects like msys2 and avidemux also uses Sourceforge as their place to store binaries and they are clean and I think the actual amount of opted-in projects is very small in compare.
But yes, distributing adware is unacceptable, even with "easy-to-decline third-party offers".

Strict blocking does not support this, it's hostname-based. The blocking page is easy to dismiss, there are two buttons to do so, on a temporary or permanent basis.
