Frankly, there's really no good reason to ban "known" counters from galleries or freesites. Why? Because a well written scanner (which the vast majority of LLs seem to be lacking), can check that there's no malicious javascript. Instead of banning the javascript, certain javascript "functions" can be banned which still allows the submitters to use most counters. I've done that on my TGPs and it's been a damn long time since there's been an issue.
