That is such bullshit. They could have at least written "Sexy, young-looking idiot."
Um, but I digress...
So, this thread has given me a good place to vent something that's been steaming me for a few days. I had a regular submitter who sent okay sites. No major breaking of the rules, but a lot of pushing the limits and a lot of mediocre sites.
I recently started requiring niche-specific recips. The submitter in question had been using his/her own, totally made up recip for a long time. I never cared for it and really didn't care for it once I started requiring the new ones.
So in every acceptance email, I gently requested the new recip. After a while I sent a "fake" rejection notice, again requesting the new recip. Finally I actually rejected a site and said flat out that I was tired of asking and a banning would follow. (Yes, I've since had "WELCOME" tattooed on my forehead.)
The response? I quote: "I'd be happy to change your recips but please you tell me what traffic do you have?"
After stewing for a while, pondering various cold but professional replies, I decided the appropriate response was, "Not enough to share with fuckwits who can't follow the most simple rules, when plenty of other people are more than willing to follow them without complaint." Then I decided a more appropriate response was to hit the ban button.
Whew, sorry for such a long and self-serving post. That's been bugging me way more than it should have. Probably because I was feeling deeply insecure and small-penised after Google update Allegra.
I'm better now.
