Berkut, my theory is this: At the point that I am clicking decline more often that accept for certain types of sites, I start looking for reasons and connections.

hqhost has (for whatever reason) ended up being the host of choice for some of the most agressive submission spammers, junk site builders, and people generally wasting my time. Many of the sites I saw all promoted the same sponsor(s), and they were all attached to a russian based billing company that was resently marked as "bad" for different reasons.

When I suddenly get 100-200 submissions in a short time frame from different domains and emails all on the same host, all promoting the same product, all on the same unacceptable theme (drunk mom fucks skinny, 14 year old looking boy), I have to take action. I can sit there and spend hours trying to seperate the wheat from the chaff, attempt to find the 2 honest webmasters in the pile of manure coming in, or I can just ban the whole f-ing thing and get it over with.

What do you think I would do?

Alex
