Hey - if they're stupid enough to put up a recip without reading my rules that I only accept partner submissions - sounds like its their problem - not mine 
I agree, in other words you profit from autosubmitters that don't maintain their DB correctly (in that Recip case)
Not that recips do much for anyone anyway - the 2 hits a month are "gold" (yes Im being sarcastic)
As a LinkList owner you do know about the SEO value of relevant incomming links, especially when you're able to choose the anchor text yourself?
If they just bring you 2 hits a month, why do you keep them at all?
