Removing Sites with Ads

I think it's quite unfair to remove one site for having "lots" of ads but leaving others up that have "lots" of ads like all of the lootables.com links, ontop of that, lootables.com is not user-friendly and hard to navigate and should be removed just for that fact alone. I've noticed you are removing other sites too that have the best content available on the Internet and very few adds. So I guess what I'm saying is, why are you removing some sites that have too many ads, leaving other sites up that have the same amount of ads, and removing sites with not a lot of ads that are very useful? Do you not play World of Warcraft perhaps? A lot of sites have ads or are considered commercial even worldofwarcraft.com so what are you using as guidelines? Please let me know so I can help you out in keeping wiki legitimate.

The sites I've added in the past I've found very useful and I usually navigate from wowwiki.com to get to them and then I come on here to find out you've removed my favorite guide site (almostgaming.com) and other very good resources I've been using; while leaving lootables.com everywhere that I find to be very useless with its navigation system and I can see no difference in ads or any relevance to what you are saying about not providing useful information or information that wiki has. So I am beginning to think you are actually affiliated with Lootables.com, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
