Blacklist?

[Short Irish Guy]

It seems LL owners here are quick to put people on their blacklist for making the egregious error of submitting one bad free site mirror. Is there a way I could check to see if I'm on anyone's blacklist? I checked http://bl.usefulscripts.com and one of my domains is there. I've been appealing for 18 months with no response.

I've been submitting to LL for over a year straight, I don't cheat, and I'm hoping to make my sites better through reading the archives here. Are there some general guidelines to follow in terms of size of thumbs? I don't want to make them too small but I don't want 20k thumbs on each gallery page either.

Thanks!
