Forum:Petition for Removal of Ads From Content

Petition for Removal of Ads From Content
Hello, I am Apollo, I administer some wikis. Lately, I have seen the users-inflow has dropped out, and I think it would be related to the new strange ads-inside content format, that discourages users from contributing, sometimes with dirty ads like "Enlarge your penis", this kind of ads offends many users and bring them away from my wikis.

I am really worried, when a user enters at first time into my wiki, instead looking at the pretty Main Page they look at a big crappy ad about a repugnant surgery (I personally prefer my "thing" as God created it, if you ask...), and I am sure they quit off. The worst thing many of my users are under-14 aged.

I know you wikia are a bunch of morality-less liberals but, please! be more respectful!

Thus I want to make a public petitions to:

1. Ask to Wikia for the removal of the adds from the content. There are many places they can place them instead (remember the first version of Monaco?)

2. Ask to Wikia for the removal of repugnant ads

3. Ask to wikia for the removal of ads in Main Pages (The first impression is the very important one)

4. Limit the ads overloading: I.e: May be users receive ads each three pages they visit instead every single second

 * If you see an inappropriate ad, please report it. Wikia does not want the inappropriate ads on wiki either, but they need information about the ad to be able to remove it, it's not possible to get rid of them without that information. And since you're the one seeing the ad, not them, they can't get that information. w:c:Help:Bad advertisements has information on how to report bad advertisements so they can be removed. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jul 2, 2008 @ 17:14 (UTC)
