Sponsor Blacklist

[Linkster]

Actually - there are a few sponsors that each LL wont take - but its usually either in the rules or has been discussed here quite a bit when we find a sponsor cheating. If you look at GG's rules you can see that he has two listed if I remember correctly, and I personally wont accept MartinPeak stuff
The problem with an overall LL sponsor ban is that there are some LL owners that will list stuff others wont

Ah yeah I can see that it might be hard to get everyone in on a ban, but then it could be a GGnJ "Who we thinks sucks ass"-list . I don't, maybe there is no need for a list really. And I heard the stuff about Martin Peak (I'm getting through the radio show archive actually reaching it's end - gonna be a sad day when I do ), so I think I'm gonna stop promoting them, a damn shame that they use dirty tricks when they got a nice site with lotsa free content :/.

And I've got nothing against Reality Cash, I'm just a newbie posting what's on his mind

One can avoid possibly troublesome sponsors by doing a search for their name on the board and reading the results. A list of boycotted sponsors would be dangerous. Possibly grounds for legal action. (I'd have to ask Hazel for more clarification though ) The boards do all of the sponsor filtering we need. I'm sure that that month old thread about Reality Cash popping up in boardtracker has done them much more than $175 worth of harm. Once they pay me, I'll start accepting galleries and sites that promote them again. I may or may not promote them, but I'm not about to tell others to avoid them.

The sites that have banned sponsors is because they were really burned by them and have proved those sponsors to be cheats. That takes a lot more than a missing check.
