I wouldn't either. Certainly not because someone is russian. Right now I have four submitters who I suspect are russian. They send me all these links but the trouble is for some reason it appears they like to use multiple submit names (from the same IP always submitted around the same time). Even though that is against my rules I went ahead and ignored it because I take an unlimited amount of submission from a webmaster per day (so there is no reason to do this - one day I might get pissed and reject them all though). Eventually however all these people have ended up on my "low priority" (Which is now backed up into late november) queue because they keep submitting sites with the same title over and over which I DO NOT allow and find annoying. It got so bad that half of their submissions were like this and it cut into my time severely. I still haven't banned them yet because I figure they are giving me a reciprical link and a very little traffic so I figure why should I. I'd rather keep them around, if possible. I'd rather list them.
Regarding the "Roman Maroni", yeah sometimes it is very bad. Often I crack up laughing reading some of the descriptions!
If it is a minor mistake with a keyword or a weird way of putting something here and there I usually let it go reasoning that perhaps someone will search for this perhaps. If it is outright ridiculous, I rewrite the description. But it has not gotten bad enough YET where I had to put anyone on a low priority queue because of that alone.
Some things the russians should realize:
1. It takes time to correct descriptions (even for a small LL).
2. Not a lot of us have a lot of free time to do this and it may hurt other submitters who won't get listed as soon as they might have otherwise.
3. If you can't or won't do this, then you are willingly putting this work on us.
4. How would you like it if we submitted stuff to a native language LL that you had which was not legible and you had to spend 20 minutes a day fixing it?
Simply put, perhaps some of the foreign webmasters who are not very well versed with English should either learn it or find a friend or someone whom they can pay to review their text for them and fix it before they submit. I don't think that is too much for any LL owner to ask at all and is quite reasonable.
