This seems to be the traditional compromise on this issue, and I think it's perfectly acceptable.

Whatever the consensus is, I think posters should be made aware of it.

Daryn,

As to the argument that this hurts 2+2, I disagree for a few reasons. First, very few people if any who advertise in there locating could afford to advertise on 2+2 or would even be willing to should they not be able to use their location. Second, these ads help to build small poker related business, which as they grow will consider buying ads on 2+2. Finally, the effectiveness of the ads is related to both the frequency and the quality of the advertisers posts. If these ads hurt 2+2 advertising or mildly annoy certain posters, I think it's minimized by the positive effects to the extent that it's not worth it to offend some very good posters by forcing them to change their location.
