Another instance of s+ abuse

A long time ago, we had wondered what would happen if a paid user had a custom layer without the code for ads - whether on purpose or because they used an old tutorial - then switched back to free then switched s+, still keeping the same layout with the same layer ( Read more... )

plus level abuse, plus level layouts

Consider it an Easter Egg! ;) Seriously though, yeah -- absolutely, there's a couple of ways people could take advantage of S+ (switch to S+, switch to Component, switch back is the other one that you guys mentioned).

Overall, though, it's still relatively rare, so we weren't *too* concerned about blocking that from happening; eventually, though, there'll be restrictions in place to keep that from happening. I don't what they'd be, though, since they're probably not going to happen anytime soon.

LOL. "I'd do anything for Component!"
This case is a bit different though. I mean you get the benefits but less ads. Very nice trick.
