Don't be so prickish in your reviewing. What are you giving back? Trust me, Curt. I've done that with a small, minimal traffic link list. I've had that attitude. It's the surest way to kill it. You'll end up with very few quality submitters and a bunch of people who submit everywhere and could not give a fuck about whether or not you list them.
There was nothing wrong with the way Busty had his/her banner links set up. Most reviewers do NOT count hrefs. They count ad blocks.
koalaT's recip issue was your own fault, but even if it wasn't, as a small link list owner, you shouldn't be so demanding about how they reciprocate or to which page. You need their submitted content.
Floyd is another well-known and loyal submitter. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his movie site. Why are you demanding 4 clips per gallery?
If the submitter isn't fucking you, don't fuck them. Small link lists are being abandoned and left to die every day. One of the primary reasons is that the developer doesn't understand their role in this environment.

LOL - Useless, you hit it on the head!
Let me first say that I enjoy supporting new LL's, especially if they are members of this board and i think I submit to every single one of you.
When balls_deep announced his new LL, I was one of the first to jump on th bandwagon. After submitting a few sites, I got my first rejection email. I contacted balls_deep via PM (because he really didn't want my concerns made public) and asked him to look at half a dozen of my sites to see if they would meet his requirements. He then replied and stated that they were all good. I then added him to all my recip tables and went about the business of submitting. A few day later, the rejection email started rolling in. I sent another PM to balls_deep and asked him what gives? He said that he never really looked at the ones I had asked him to and made some smart-ass comment about if I think I'm the best FS builder in the world, I should submit elsewhere.
I pulled him from my submit list and went about my business - but seeing that he never even acknowledged your attempts to mentor him, got my dander up once more. Too bad I didn't keep the PM's between myself and balls_deep - maybe he kept them and would be so kind as to post them
balls_deep, like I said in my PM(s), you just don't offer enough traffic for me to waist my time on.
