Summary: pages blocked due to three letter strings

Initial Comment:
The following pattern is perhaps a bit too loose since it can block based on three letter strings "ads" and "adv":
/(.*/)?ad(\?|/|s|v|_?(image|se?rv|box)|cycle|rotate|mentor|click|f[ra]m|script|stream|fetch|log|space)

For example, it blocks

along with a few other false positives that I have seen so far.

Perhaps it would be better to require a word boundary after "ads".  I can't think of what "adv" is supposed to match, except for "advert" which could be spelled out explicitly.
