A lot of people, like myself, might make an innocent mistake of thinking a 755 pixel table acceptable to fit 800 x 600. Personally I didn't think that deserved a blacklist and secondly I wouldn't have realized it if stuveltje hadn't posted this link.

I'm not saying its any big loss to link lists that I got blacklisted, but I am new, I am learning the ropes, and once I do learn the ropes I'll be a solid submitter that will follow all the rules and never break them.

Also if you submit your webpage to other link lists and get accepted it generally reaffirms you're "Making the page right" and makes you even less likely to think you got blacklisted elsewhere.

I'm not sure how hard it would be to add some feature that informs someone they've been added to a blacklist, but it would be nice and also helpful to new adult webmasters.
well its easy to explain at least for me i review a couple of linksites and what i have notice is that from the 100 reject emails you will send , maybe 10 will read the email, so if people not read their emails why send them then, the linksites i review dont use that blacklist. I am a free site builder myself for 3 years, i read rules and yep i have my screen on 800 and i follow webmasters boards, so if i see a site submitted to one of the linksites i review which scrolls to the right or a counter on it and they have greenguys linkback on it , i know its rejected, so i checked the blacklist myself the last days and its a pitty to see people submitting and dont know they are blacklisted, you should keep track on your submissions by checking your traffic stats, thats how i always did it, and if i wasnt listed after 2 days i posted here on the board to ask, realy linksites want to list people , but submitters should read the rules and double check their pages.Makes a reviewers life easier
