Help:Bad advertisements

Wikia wants users to only see good quality advertisements, and thus we have a system for reporting "bad" ads, as shown below.

Bad ads might include:
 * Inappropriate for your wiki (e.g. adult-themed ads on a wiki aimed at children).
 * Tacky, misleading ads.
 * With regards to gaming wikis, ads about exploits and cheating may be considered.

Please note that advertisement removal requests are considered on a case by case basis and while all complaints will be accepted, not all can be removed.
