Actually I did get a few sponsors make off handed comments about it... more in jest sort of, but that they'd be losing some of their star power due to members being able to ignore them.
My point is, if people aren't ignoring them with FfVb, then they're mentally ignoring them anyhow.... or worse, hating the sponsor for it.
At least with this method, you forget within seconds which sponsor even had contest threads going. I couldn't even name one right now that has a contest thread on the front page because I simply don't see them. Better that than me resenting them for pandering to contest whores just to annoy me.
But, that being said, it has far more uses than just contest threads on GFY. There have been many other boards where I've seen mods recommend it to their own users to ignore sticky threads if they are annoyed by them. Or to ignore political threads or so on and so forth.
Anyway, just saying... since you brought it up. I understand how my extension can be looked at negatively in the way you suggested by some. I personally like to think it brings out about more positivity than negativity.
