Blacklist for new LL?
 

Is there a blacklist available for someone starting a new LL? I am working on a new one a and I would like to ban the obvious cheaters from the start as to avoid problems later.

No - because not every link list has the same rules & no one should take anyone else's word without doing their own investigations when it comes to blacklisting.

I could post my list, which has some domains on there for a personal reason. But what did those people do to be blacklisted by you? Nothing.

Believe me - you'll fill it up fast enough on your own :D

The nice thing about starting a new link list is that you get only a few submissions. You'll be able to spend plenty of time on each, basically teaching yourself how to review. For any submitter whose name I'm unfamiliar with, I usually search for the domain name on the board, check for it at http://bl.usefulscripts.com/blocked/, I'll view source and peek at metas and look for hidden junk, check the WHOIS and look to see what they're doing on the root of that domain.

Thanks UW, that is some good advice. I felt a bit overwhelmed thinking about those reviews, and how to go about them. Your advice helps quite a bit. |thumb
