Ahh... the thread that won't die.

Not all russians are cheaters. Not all people found guilty of murder are in fact murderers. Everyone gets a speeding ticket they don't deserve.

Link site owners for the most part don't want to spend all the time required to sort out "good from shit". We need to spend our time wisely to make sure that we give our surfers a quality product that they will come back to see regularly, and tell their friends about our lists.

They won't have a very good opinion of us if they end up with a toolbar, a vrius, or a back door on their system because of my listings.

They won't be happy if they go to a free site, click a thumb, and get 32 consoles.

They won't be happy if every other listing on my site turns into a redirect 2 days later.

They won't be happy if I don't give them what I promise. In order to do that, I have to list sites from reputable programs and reliable webmasters. I have to choose who is reliable and who is not. I can't spend all day to find 50 good sites. I need to be able to review them and get on with the other work I have to do.

So I block bots, I block free hosts, I block bartered hosts, and yes, I block most submits from certain countries to avoid issues.

What pisses me off (and causes me to be even more likely to block shit) is when these same webmasters that get their sites declined turn aorund and try to hide their shit in some manner and try to sneak onto my lists again to steal traffic.

Fuck you, I don't have time for you.

Sadly, for some decent and honest webmasters, you get fucked over because you are surrounded by dishonest, cheating assholes and often close to or near CP and credit card scams. I can't even take the chance to find out if you are honest, I can't open the door even a crack without having to deal with the 40 pounds of shit that will come with it.

Yahook, you and your group of "friends" prove without a doubt that you have no clue of the difference between right and wrong, just the difference between "caught" and "getting away with it". Anyone even getting close to what you are working on I have to assume has the same approach, and as a result, I react the same way.

What can I say? I don't have all day to find the one piece of gold in an acre of shit.
