Force Ads
#11
its not really our choice, to use forced ads with cPanel you need root perms right now.

Yes, I can confirm that. You will need root access, unless there is a workaround.

I can think of an extremely complex and annoying workaround, and though it is less than ideal, it works.

All you need is cron jobs.

What you do:

Assuming ads are turned "on", simply instruct your users to place the advertisement code on your page. It will generate a JavaScript code which will embed the required ad, and will also send a success message to your tht admin panel, which records the success. If after a certain period of time, the ads have not sent a success message, it could suspend the account.

What do you think about that? Its not perfect, but it would work for the most part.
#14
No, the success message could be faked. Sad

True. Well, it was worth a shot.

Maybe use a php/iframe setup? Can't fake that as easily.

Na, iframes never look good, easiest way is with root permissions.

Use a spider? to check if they removed it?
