This ad for a match three game plays a loud introductory ad for other products every five minutes and it is ruining this site. I searched Google for any other WoW info site and unfortunately they are not as up to date and easy to navigate so I came back here... only to be blasted by "AIRWICK CANDLES!" and "RED ROBIN... YUMM!" while I tried to quest in the tranquil Pandaria.
I see the Sticky on how to report bad ads, I've done the request to feedback@wowhead.com. So far no reply and nothing has changed. Maybe if enough people reply here that they want the Diamond Jewel ad removed...and any other sound using ad removed, then someone at Wowhead might take notice.

I'll tack onto this myself. These ads are EXTREMELY annoying and have been out of control lately -- every 2 to 3 minutes for the past few days. I understand the necessity for ads on this site, which I don't have a problem with. But ads that play sound constantly without you clicking or mousing over them is totally unacceptable. Please do something to remove these ads!

When you emailed feedback did you follow the instructions here:

?
The problem is we use a lot of ad networks and sometimes these sort of ads slip through - we can't really tell "where" they came from without the information asked for in the above thread.
With that said, we're refreshing the site now trying to track this ad down specifically - thanks for the heads up, we'll take care of it ASAP.

Thank God Draknorr! I keep wowhead up on my 2nd monitor all day but as of the last week or so I've had to stop because of that !@#$%^&*() AIRWICK ad...it's unbelievable. There are several others, but that one by far is the most annoying and loud. Like Motoki said, I understand having ads, but ones that play sound are just uncalled for., especially when they're that loud and continuous, they ONLY time they don't come on is if you're at the main page of the site.

Yep, understood and we completely agree. We just honestly need help finding them at times because we have so many ads and when they appear once out of 10,000 pageloads, they are hard to figure out who they are coming from.
