What Pisses You Off With Link Lists & Free Sites?

Greenguy · 2007-08-21, 07:14 PM

I'm heading on a small vacation tomorrow, but I do want to leave this thread stuck here while I'm gone so that others can post.

So far, I personally think this thread is GREAT & long overdue. When I get back, I do want to look into a lot of these issues, especially those that I know I can handle on my end without effecting anyone else (like the 24 hour thing) Omn other issues, I will have to open a discussion with other Link Lists & then go from there.

My whole problem is that - as we all know - I can't do any of this on my own without causing a lot of problems for submitters as well as LL owners. And I don't mean for that to come off like I have a big head or I think I'm something special, because I'm not. But something that MrMaryLou said to me struck me as odd when we were talking about rules & reviewing: there are quality submitters that submit free sites to Smut Gremlins that have 20 total pics that no longer submit to me - and I have a problem with that. Not because I think I deserve to be submitted to, but because I think that submitter deserves to submit to both LL's (and as many others as possible) on an even level.

I'm not dumb enough to think that would ever come to fruition thru the entire internet - nor am I nuts enough to think that I could make it happen. But an open discussion about what upsets the regular free site submitters out there is a step in the right direction

So continue to post - even if someone already mentioned it - and we'll go from there

Being as it sounds like you're looking at the entire model and not just the little quips, let's look at this from a bit broader perspective.

When building, there really isn't anything more of a pain in the ass than the entire submission process. Forget the little things like image verification, just the entire act of submitting to multiple linklists, especially multiple mirrors takes too much time, causes too much concern over different rules or who is listed with whom and is so damned repatative it's bordering on insane.

Yeah, I know there are problems with submission software, but let me bring up Useless' brilliant idea of 1 hosted form that could submit to numerous linklists depending on the submitters choice of lists she would like to submit to and the submission just gets queued at different linklists for review.

I don't build mirrors, and I can tell you now, that if I could fill out one submit page instead of 12-20, I'd be a much happier camper.

To go a step further, and steal another one of Useless' brilliant ideas (I love setting him up for blame), being as recip collecting seems to be a fairly large complaint among submitters, we as LL owners could create pre-grouped recips that are generic enough to work for everyone.

Let's say a submitter wants to build an anal sex site, so she goes to whatever hosted domain we set up and he clicks on anal. There's a list of the participating partner linklists with radio buttons next to them. She picks let's say 12 linklists, hits build and the script builds an entire non-styled recip table based on recips the LL owners have already pre-approved. Copy and paste and the recip table is done, no recip harvesting or stripping out of styles.

Yes, these would be pretty significant changes, but just blame Useless! |goodnight
