I've got a note on my submit page in pretty big type, just above where the submit form starts, saying I'm happy to answer any questions from newbies trying to get their bearings. It's been up for 3 months and over a couple thousand submissions. Guess how many emails I've gotten asking questions.....go ahead, guess....

One of my submitters who frequents this board had 3 submissions sitting in my que 404ing, and my emails to him were bouncing back undeliverable. Since I knew him from the board, I PMd him to let him know. Turns out it was something about his hosting and IP that was causing these sites to 404 from certain locations and not others, so he fixed it and I approved all his sites. If I hadn't known who he was, the sites would have been declined (and probably would've blacklisted him) after the email bounced back.
The moral of the story is that taking the time to be part of a community ALWAYS has tangible advantages, even if they're not obvious. We've got a good community here, many of us advertise this board on our submit pages, and those who choose to take part will always have a leg up over those who don't. There's only so much you can do for people |rasta|
