Cheating is 1000% more than a year ago?

I feel bad for the honest webmasters in certain countries. I, like many link site owners, have been forced to block out IPs, hosts, ISPs and all other sorts of things to get rid of people who just can't follow the rules - and worse, are abusive of the system of TGP / link site listing.

If a site can handle 200 new listings a day, why should any one webmaster (or group) feel that 1000 submissions would be good? I closed down my TGP submissions a couple of years ago when I was getting almost 5k submits a day - to a TGP getting about 1k hits per day otherwise. In that 5k, more than half of them came from less than a handful of people.

Link sites put blocks, require code words, keys, type this code, whatever... and still the autosubmitters try to jam as many sites as possible into the review line. They don't give a shit that you don't want to review their sites, they don't give a rat's ass about your rules, they just want to get listed.

Then about half these bastards turn around and redirect surfers to dialers, auto downloads, malware, toolbars, and all sorts of other shit.

There is a small but agressive minority out there that is totally 100% fucking it up for everyone else.

It's sad.

PS: No, I won't tell you how I really feel!
