I've seen that the Ad sharing plugin has been updated and that it now offers the possibility to filter ads code (HTML and Google Adsense only). This is good!:-)
However I have also realized that it won't fit my needs...
What I would like to have is:
Free members will be given this option: ad sharing 75% (me) / 25% (free member) Supporter members will be given this option: ad sharing 25% (me) / 75% (supporter member) (actually they would also have the option to remove ads)
Unfortunately this is not possible because the Ad sharing plugin has no integration with Supporter. You have another plugin called Supporter advertising that is integrated with Supporter but he doesn't offer the option to split advertising revenues. So why don't you merge these two plugins together? They look very similar and this would offer much more flexibility to the network administrator.

That's a good idea. There's a lot going on with the update of Supporter and if it's going to be multi-level, there will be more to take into account with Ad Sharing integration.
For now, if you're interested in taking a stab at the coding yourself, you could take a look at line 210 of ad-sharing.php where you'll see the general logic behind the ad sharing and from there you could perhaps use is_supporter() to adjust it as you like.
I came to the forums to say pretty much the same thing, though I would like to have it so that supporters receive 100% of advertising revenue, or they can just not show any ads.
Thats a very good idea.I was also looking for the same functionality. It is much better to be able to offer to a supporter the possibility to earn from his own ad, than only be able to remove the ad.
