Linklists and Free Sites: How Do We Move Forward?

[kit]

This is a good reasons, but they are subjective and you spend a relatively big time to catch them. Prime cost of the deep site checking is pretty high. Except grammar, there is no serious and visible differences.

Both sites loads fine from me and both of them is ugly (sorry Cleo).

One of the problem in LL industry: we can't surely separate good and bad FS.

What is a good FS?
How we measure creativenes and content originality?
Do we remember all content in our LL to prevent oversaturation?

Marc said, he like to accept good handmade sites and don't like autogenerated spammy sites. Do you really know, how much "good handmade" sites you accepting every day is a result of relatively good automated process?

Do you really think I would spend as much time reviewing a site or going that in depth on a regular review? All reviewers should be looking at the site & if they come across a problem, reject the site then & there. There's no need to go any further into a site that has bad grammar. Click the reject button & move on to the next review.

The only reason I did an in-depth "review" of that site was to prove a point.

That is a pretty big problem - maybe not in your community, but it is in mine. That & the site not loading for some parts of the world are two very big reasons why that site is not listed.

I havn't reviewed as many free sites as other ppl in this thread but it takes about 1 second to determine wether a free site was handmade or autogenerated/spammy. Usually you can tell even before the page has even loaded by looking at the recips (usually the same link list grouping submitted every single day set out in some default looking table), header (looks like it was made in paint), horrible description (makes no sense in English), submitter's email address (like spammer@lesbian-actions-xxx.biz).

Viewing the source opens another can of worms...
