Due to some pretty stunning abuses of linked text, starting with all sites in the current review pile and moving forward, findpics will have the following rule:

"You may not have more than 3 lines of text linked to a sponsor, based on a line of text the same size as a standard banner (468 wide). If you use smaller fonts or other, that limit would drop to 2 lines (or possibly 1 line if the text is small enough). You can use as much text as you like, but please only link PART of it, not all of it."

Basically, I am seeing more and more sites submitted with 10 - 30(!) lines of text all linked, with mouseover actions and all. It's ugly, it's overdoing it, and it increases the chances that a surfer will accidentally click on a link.

Please be reasonable.

thanks

Alex
