Sonofabitchin', Motherfucking Templates (Rant #2)
 

There are things you notice when doing a ton of reviews at once that don't jump out at you when you're doing daily reviews. One of them is how painfully overused many free site templates are.

We all re-use templates. If you'd like to submit quality sites to the same cat day after day I welcome them as long as your sites look different. Problem is, too many submitters are re-using templates every few days instead of once a month.

For fuck's sake, it's only a little bit of HTML! Change your fonts, your backgrounds, the layout of your elements...fucking change SOMETHING!!!

I've had to decline a ton of sites from good submitters because the templates are as overused as a $2.00 hooker.

I don't expect anyone to spend hours daily coding a new template, but do the work ONCE to build thirty of them and then ROTATE the motherfuckers! PLEASE!

Also had to blacklist someone who was a good submitter for a long time and delete dozens of their sites because all of a sudden they're submitting HFS hosted from their server with a bunch of recips added.

Also had to blacklist someone who was a good submitter for a long time and delete dozens of their sites because they removed my recips on a handful of sites (don't fuck with the BOT).

These aren't newbies making newbie mistakes, they're experienced submitters who have got to be making money who are getting lazy and/or BECOMING cheaters.

Well....FUCK. Just....FUCK.

Damn madmax you are just having a really bad day! Your right to be angry though and I'm sorry for your bad luck. All I know if someone is nice enough to give me a partner account, I surely wouldn't want to take advantage of it. It's not a way to get a head in the long run.

Take a deep breath count to ten and ban all those assholes that messed with ya.. |thumb

Dude!

You REALLY are on a roll!

This is one of the reasons that my building has been taking me so long to do lately. I try to make each site look as different as much as I can from the previous one without losing my mind doing so in the process. It can be quite tough though, but well worth it in the long run.

I really commend those of you that take the extra care and time to hand build your recip tables. That is alot of work and y'all should be commended for it.|thumb

Ouch...damn Max...when it rains it pours huh?!

Sounds like you're quite reasonable about template usage too. I've got a couple submitters I'm about to bitch slap for the same reason...same colors, same font, same fuckin TEXT in some cases.

Hope you get through the backlog and on to new biz again soon :)

I'll get through it...being able to vent helps a lot :D

there you go, i do the same all the time on an other board, venting on an board will help:)
