You're right, the LL were smaller ones. It's funny how the some of the smallest sites with the least amount of traffic can have the strictest rules. And I agree about the copyright link, but I got some decline emails complaining out 4 outgoing links (3 porn links + copyright link).

And am I understanding you correctly? Only 2 recips per warning page? I can't say I've ever even seen that. Even new sites I've seen have at least 5-6 still.
There's a thread here about LL owners increasing the min pic size. I don't know if there's a preferred maximum. But I know there's at least one LL that declines for pics over 80KB. So I try to find a balance between 600 pixels on the long side and under 80KB.

I didn't mean 2 recips, I meant that each recip can only have 2 links on it. Most recips have one link to the index page and one link to the category page. In the past, some LL's had recips with 3 or more links and it was getting out of control. There was a crackdown, and all the LL changed their recips to comply with the new rules. I only mentioned it, because when I got back into freesites a few months ago (after a 6 month break), I had to redo all my old recip tables to comply with the new rule.
