My opinions don't align with yours which is fine, and it's been very evident that your connection to GGL is well beyond just a user, and your determination to convince users to use one said platform shows the bais, while I offer and recommend several different platforms regardless of their ability to maintain updates.
I know the only reason you decided to chime in on this, is because I don't have the same passion to shill for one product (GGL) like yourself.
On a second note, if I can help users find something that suits their needs from the messages that they send me, I have helped the forums greatly, most of these users return to the forums and frequent them afterward due to that trust factor. In fact, my forum post is one of the top five viewed and active posts of all time on Epvp in the World of Warcraft section, I have likely brought hundreds if not thousands of new members to this forum from external sources such as Google search results just from my posts alone.
My takeaway from your reply was that you're worried I would use my leverage with epvp moderator status to attack your beloved GGL, and I can simply say now, I don't need a moderator status to do such a thing and still have the same effect due to my trust factor with users on the forums and off the forums. If you want my opinion to change on a product, you should ask your friends over at GGL to fix their products and update them. I'm sure if I had a bias for your friends you would love to recommend me :D
Edit: The World of Warcraft Pixel Bot Review thread has changed several times, some things are recommended over others based on their current development cycle and changes to their platform that make them more or less of a viable solution for users. Even if there is something I don't recommend but I see it suits what they're looking for I would still suggest it.

This is a very odd response, and further demonstrates the validity of my concerns.
My support for any product is not relevant to this discussion, nor was it relevant to my opinion on your application. This is a topic on your readiness to take on the responsibility of a moderator position while representing EPvP. Your response thus far indicates a lack of the maturity needed for the position.
Even if you exclusively supported GGL (which, again, is irrelevant), my opinion would remain unchanged. Your lack of transparency raises concerns about potential misuse of the role.
Those of us who manage the provider list here do so with accountability in mind. We don't leave out providers simply because of personal dislikes, nor do we endorse products purely for incentives. We make our recommendations and reviews public, allowing the community to participate in oversight.
Consider this scenario: If I were advising users in the WoW section to message me privately for 'the best rotation bot' and then in DMs, recommending a provider like HandsFree—which is known for its issues with detections and exit scams—solely because I was being paid, you would likely agree that such behavior is not only disingenuous but also undermines my integrity and the community's? And while I am not accusing you of doing this, I am saying that by intentionally removing the community from the discussion, you are preventing the community from holding you honest and accountable.
With all of that being said, I don't see a point in dragging this on further, so this will be my last post. I gave my opinion, and my only advice for you going forward is to simply bring your recommendations public.
GL.
