I've relaxed my reviewing habits a lot lately. I don't count seconds on movies or pixels on pics. If the freesite as a whole looks decent I'm not going to decline if a link opens in a new window. If a banner looks like a banner I don't care if it has thumbs on it. But if I think the submitter is actively trying to deceive the surfer I'll decline no matter how perfect the site is otherwise.
I have also tried to reduce the number of rules to a minimum, just keeping the essentials. I don't think anyone will take that as an invite to screw me over, because hardly anybody reads them anyway.
Having said all this, I have also become quicker, much quicker, to hit the ban button. I have a lot of patience and understanding for honest mistakes. I'm willing to think outside the box and communicate with submitters and there have been occasions when a submitter has convinced me that I was unreasonable. But if you're just a lazy cheating fuck you're out.
