If that is a misconception, it is a prevalent one.
Way back in 2002 when I first started submitting to TGP's, Link-O-Rama happened to be listed at a few sites as a good place to submit galleries to. In my neophyte ignorance I submitted a few to you. (and was properly blacklisted)
When I learned more about the business (and became a semi-regular here at this board, I learned what a free site was and started submitting them. Lo and behold I was receiving several rejection messages from members of this board telling me I was blacklisted at useless scripts.
My appeal to you at that time promptly removed me from the list....but OTHER users of link admin WERE blacklisting me solely because of your blacklisting me.
I have never used link admin, but my impression through the years has been that there is an option to USE the blacklist within link admin. Perhaps it is only other webmasters seeing sites and emails blacklisted and so manually add those trangressors to their own lists. You carry a lot of weight among link list owners Greenguy, as do cleo and several others here. They figure if the person screwed up bad enough to be included on that list that is good enough for them.
Are you sure that there is not an option within link admin itself to check the blacklist? and if it see's a name, site, or email on it automatically blacklist?
