Oops! Did I stir up a hornets nest? Good! If it's got you guys talking then I'm well pleased
Most people understand how difficult and frustrating it can be, for LL-masters AND site builders, but if we can all come to an understanding we might get somewhere. There are so many people jumping on the bandwagon, in search of easy riches, that those who DO try hard to get it right need to get together
Almost all the replies posted here seem to reflect the 'Great Divide' between owners and submitters. Seems it all stems from the fact that it's time consuming dealing with the average career f**k-wit who can't/won't read rules or guidelines. Fair enough. Blacklist 'em. But what about the newbie who is making the effort, and a few genuine mistakes? Okay, time is money. But so is lack of understanding between the two sides
There are good, bad and indifferent on both sides of the fence. LL-masters should praise the good, weed out the bad, and help those who try but make mistakes. At the same time builders who are really trying hard to make a go of it should realise that any-old-crap doesn't make the grade anymore. If we lose the bad, who shouldn't be in the business in the first place, it makes all our 'jobs' a lot easier in the long run
Love the idea of a list of 'Trusted' submitters. Heaven knows there are plenty of shared blacklists out there. Also have to agree with GG that airing rejection grievences on the board helps others too. Makes sense and saves time
Meanwhile I plan always to give a courteous response
