While I (LOR) did blacklist you, it was not me personally that did it, but I am responsible for my site & my reviewers, so I will assume that all those comments were directed at me.

Well at least I've moved one step forward and now know who and why. Of course some intuition told me that I would eventually run up against a bigger guy if only becasue those are the ones who use this usefulscript. Of course my rant was to provoke someone forward with an explanation. Now that it turns out to be you whom I know to be a very reasonable, helpful, and straightforward guy I will sincerely apologize for all and only the character attacks that I made upon the "secret WM". I don't think the things I said to be true regarding you personally. In that case I was in error and wrong.

However, regarding the list and the way its run I have to say I feel the same.

A couple of example facts. At the time that I subbed from Sexdug I was a straight newbie and am sure didn't even know what vid caps were. Also, it couldn't have been too many submits that "violated" the rules because I didn't submit that many from that domain because I quickly saw that I needed to know more to work better. Maybe I subbed one a month or so for a few months.

Regardless, by the time I picked it back up and I'm buying content and buying designs and subbing from new domains but scrupously following the rules by using my same old email addy I'm finding a year later I've been BL'd. Which dovetails into my previous comment about how cool is it to be helping newbies on the one hand and then blacklisting them for minor mistakes with the other. Other webmasters do use this list for checking and a submitter can be unfairly penalized. But, hey since you're using an email addy to ban would it be so hard to use the same addy to notify?

Additionally, you've added more information which tells me that I was only banned at one domain which was not the distinct impression I got from the research posts over the years that I looked at. I stand corrected. Any WM can ban for any reason from his/her site.. period. My problem was the wide net that such secret banning causes and I'm clearly not alone in this thinking.

OK! Nevertheless I've run my mouth. I apologize for attacking your character wholeheartedly however my opinoin that the system still sucks stands. You have done more to keep this business on a straight line than anybody else I've ever come across so I take all my fighting words back and have no intention of pursuing any of this any further. Sorry to start your work week off badly but my weekend sucked.
