Thank you! Don't get me wrong, again I'm all for a BL that works for everybody and is fair and accountable. This one isn't it. Few minutes ago found out the UsefulScripts code was written by Richard, one of the bigger players out there. Also, this script is used by some of the bigger lists out there. So why do I want to pick a fight with people I like and who could theoretically further damage my efforts out of spite? Well that's a tough one. Basically I'm pissed and that's always a bad thing cause everything else gets shoved aside. But most importantly what's been going on here for years is just wrong. If you're blacklisted on this list for the pettiest of reasons, all of your efforts, expenses, time, etc. has been wasted in the case of all those lists that never even look at your site because its rejected at the bin level. To me that means someone has wasted a lot of my time and money and I want it back.
My biggests problem with this whole thing is that you may or may not even know your on this list. Lack of notification of being on the list and identification of the person that put you there make the whole thing stink. How can we be welcoming and encouraging newbies on one hand (who are the lifeblood of this LL biz) pretending to help them and then with the other hand let some coward blackball them and waste all their good faith efforts?
