There are two things we're talking about here. The one that got the thread started was applications installing Growl without the user's permission; the one the banlist would address is applications sending ads through Growl. It's unlikely that we'd ban an application just for installing Growl without the user's permission, simply because it would be so pointless. As you say, it wouldn't benefit anyone who got Growl installed that way; it would only affect users who installed a new enough version of Growl on purpose (i.e., aren't affected by the app's rogue installation) and, as you say, those who upgrade the Growl that was wrongly installed. > and would be disabling those apps for a lot of users who may want them? Possibly. Dropbox (which doesn't currently send ads) comes to mind. It's unlikely that users are going to want to enable an app that sends ads, though, and if they ever do, that's why they'd be able to enable it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
