Are autosubmitters true evil?

[RawAlex]

Here is my perfect example: Guy comes to my submit form (now partner only so the problem solves itself) and uses roboform or whatever. Too many of those people allow the program to fill out all of the form, and then they just click "submit" without looking at what they are doing. More often than not, I would get 1 or 2 submits per day with the person's name in the sitename field - and I know that is a submit helper because they make the same mistake over and over.

Like any tool, it can be used for good or evil. A hammer can build a house or break heads. It all depends on how you use it.

I would NOT recommend any submit assistance for anyone who hasn't been submitting by hand for a few months first.

Agreed. There's just some elements of submitting that once you get past a certain point would become difficult to do all by hand. Example: I have 150-200 tgp partner accounts, all with different passwords, all different usernames...there's just no way that it would be practical to hand submit that amount of info each day and to do it 3 times as I submit three galleries.

I recommend AS as they allow you to do site specific rules, etc to fill in usernames, passwords, and also make alterations to forms as not every tgp, names their form fields the same.

It's all about taking the time to learn how a tool works and to learn it enough to help you not hurt you. Ultimately in the end I would rather have submitters spend more time designing their pages than typing in their email by hand. Most people submit with a lot of sponsor graphics, some ripped fhg, etc, and ugly pages like something designed out of the late 1980's, bad looking thumbs...that gets me more annoyed than a form error. (now if they do ugly pages and have form errors, lol )
