The page could look spammy even with 15 recips. There are a lot of LL with big recips and image recips that would make a page look very unfriendly and spammy. And there's a lot of sites listed with much bigger recip tables.

But this is not spam. A lot of LL have more than 25 link exchange and they are not spamming SE. As long as the text is unique and the page is getting links from big sites, SE won't see that as spamming. Instead SE will see those duplicate site as spamming even if they have only 5-6 recips.
Besides, I only use two links for every LL while some LL have 4-5 links in their recipe code.

But there's no small LL on the recip table Those are the biggest 25 LL according to Alexa rankings and Google PR

I do understand this You have such a great site and you have to keep it clean

I don't use "CLICK HERE" as a blind link. I alway use "Click Here for....." which is totally different. I always describe for the surfer what he's going to find. Surfers always tend to finish reading the description and then return back and click the link if they are interested. And from my stats I can see that those who were really interested clicked the links

And almost every banner has click here and they are accepted. Would you reject sites with banners that have click here or should I just open ImageReady and save click here in a gif file?
IMO there's always rules and there's a lot of ways to go around them and this is why there are human reviewers

Have a nice day Marc
