Seems the friend or "partner" thing is the only way then I guess.

And for every 'new' submitter you can consider a trusted submitter there were another 5 which despite all caution slipped through and you blacklist them a few days later

I would have thought maybe 5% cheaters and 95% honest, but if 5 cheat out of every 6, I guess that flips it to 15% honest and 85% are cheaters. I had no idea it was that severe.
... No wonder everyone is looking at me so oddly.
Guess being a links list owner, and not a TGP owner or viewer, my over five years of experience has shown the opposite, where maybe 1 in 20 will redirect their freesites or add console hell after submission.
As to the issue of templates galleries, I have to go with Bill and disagree with DareUTwo. At the risk of sounding spammy, a little imagination and a script capable of giving one great freedom with user-defined variables (like Content God) one can make a wide variation using the same template, as well as creating a large number of different templates.
Just this week I've finally gotten around to playing with CG for my own TG submissions use and have variables I put into my gallery templates that can control multiple colors, different sponsor text, and and much more. With different content, different colors, different text, a single template can be made to look *very* different every single time.
Even so, am working to make up 10 templates, so by the time the first one gets used again, and then altered with the variables, it should keep even the most discriminating TGP reviewer and adult surfer very happy. But yes, you do need to put some effort and creativity into it, and yes you need a script that allows you to do on-the-fly alterations in order to achieve it.
