First off - there are about 10 autosubmitter programs out there specifically made for submitting to LLs - so they already exist - as well as many autoformfillers - they already exist as well.
Most sell for around $30 and some as high as $90 with some that provide updates to the database for a monthly charge etc.
The problems I've seen - the first being the problem that was brought up about not seeing the rules - or for that matter the advertising I want you to see when you visit my WMs page - thats part of the whole package of submitting is that there will be a certain percentage of WMs that might sign up under me for some programs I think are really good.
Second - most of the programs that "update their databases" - DONT - they still have recips in their for old cats and dont have recips for new cats.
Third - most autosubmitters dont ever take the time to check their submissions - of even learn how to use the program - which causes extra work for us LL owners cleaning up our databases of hundreds of failed attempts.
Fourth - We decided on a rule that said no autosubmitters, and requested that a lot of our LLs be removed from the autosubmitters - which hasnt happened - which means when the submits come to our LLs the submitter gets banned automatically - no questions asked.
Last - there is nothing wrong with using an auto-form-filler - as long as it doesnt cache or pull in a copy of the submit form - again, this is something that bypasses the submit page (refer back to the other reasons).
If used correctly and just for doing copying faster - formfillers are a great tool.
And lastly - you will hear this over and over - if you dont have time to copy and paste five lines of text to get free traffic - then the LLs will tell you they dont have time to review your site - which takes longer than your submitting. So we have many ways that dont get shared with the gen publ to detect and ban autosubmitters
