The official submitters' annoyances thread - fill it up!

GeorgeTH · 2005-01-12, 01:35 AM

I thought we could start an 'Official Submitters' Annoyances' thread in the hope that we can send some site owner here, and maybe even get the attention of some script authors...

Since some memories are fresh (I'm in the process of doing a submission) I'll start...

As a person hand-submitting it really annoys me
· if scripts run really, really slow (get a decent server or re-index your MySQL)
· if there's no figure for maximum characters to be used in the "Description" so I have to guess everytime
· the form says max.35 chars, but allows only 30 characters (sexmaxx)
· I get an error for too long description, return to form to find it empty
· I get an error for too short description, return to form to find it empty
· I get the typical broad AGP error "some of your html or text was found in our blacklist" - cryptic crosswords are easier to solve! I wanna know what is blacklisted so that I can at least avoid it in future!
· if people have a "cumshot" category, but no "oral" or "blowjob" category, and I submit an oral series without cumshot (doing it right now)
· sites send me after a long wait finally a password, I set up a recip table for them, and then in months they never list a single one of my submissions - why not say "we don't take new submitters"?

Good points, I'll add over-sensitive scripts (like auntpollys), that either say you've got no recip when you change the recips color, or they count 1 image etc. etc. while the better ones have totally no problem and count everyhing allright.

Useless · 2005-01-12, 08:19 AM

Definately that 'no recip found' bullshit that grzepa just mentioned. That pisses me off enough to go outside and find someone to smack. I've heard someone say that that is due to an html error in my galleries. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

I love sites that don't tell you that they only accept partner submits AFTER you fill out their form and submit. Why not post that with the form? Assholes.

Scripts that don't accept the words 'pose, poser, or posing' in the description. Oh wait, that's me.

(George gave me the idea!)

I've a huge problem with sites that say 'give your gallery a good description to make it stand out in the crowd' only to found out that there is a 17 character max on their descriptions. What can I describe in 17 characters? 'This TGP sucks' -and I still have 3 to spare.

Or...the fuckers that tell you they want a 90x120 thumb, but the script rejects it because it is now set to find a 90x90 thumb.

Or the brand new TGPs with even less traffic than mine that want some off-the-wall sized thumb that no one else has ever wanted. Christ!

docholly · 2005-01-12, 08:36 AM

or the ones that after you fill out the entire form and you hit submit..it goes to email.

or the one tgp that requires 14 pics instead of the standard 12.

what really pisses me off and the main reason i rarely tgp anymore is that the quality and exclusiveness of the camho pics that we paid in photoshoots wound up being part of the 'redirect' once they got listed ..like you'd click on our link and find your surfer self looking at the hun or RR or someother TGP that was on a link exchange.

geirlur · 2005-01-12, 11:47 AM

one some tgps with brownie script I got a message that the word 'sophia' and 'hot babe' was banned..

neticule · 2005-01-12, 12:05 PM

and thus the reason i stopped doing tgp over a year ago lol

Ill do a tgp gallery sometimes if i want to put myself in a pissed off mood.

Porn Meister · 2005-01-12, 12:11 PM

The description length one is a pain sometimes.
Some count only visible characters, although a space is a character.
Please limit the input length in your description input field to avoid any issues

It's html, woohoo it's easy and fun.

I'm forever hitting my right arrow key.. "one two three four..."

LOL - I haven't been even able to convince my-self to do that... Basically don't know where to add a note on the submit page so that people will see it. Rules - forget: nobody reads them once they have a password!

Regarding "AuntPolly" rejections:
1. never change the recip table code, even if you can't read the 'sex' link anymore due to your color settings for the page
2. don't submit any description with special characters like an apostrophe, even if your sentence needs it
3. don't use image names with special characters (hyphon, ampersand, etc.)
4. check that your HTML is correct, specially missing table tags! - this also throws other gallery checkers after the submission had been listed, and can cause blacklisting! If code is not clean the AGP scanner reports quite often a "Page Content Has Changed" error...

In closing re. AuntPolly: I'd wish I'd get listed everywhere as easily

Keep them coming!

grzepa · 2005-01-12, 05:30 PM

Thanks for the tips regarding Auntpollys, GeorgeTH.
In my history of TGP submitting the script let my gallery for the review maybe 2-3 times :-(

I really have to work on my tags, because polly's script's allways telling me that I have only 1 or 2 images.

Do you like pollys traffic ?

bunky2u · 2005-01-13, 08:42 PM

I suppose what pisses me off is that the TGP owner that wants his recip right beside two other high profile TGPs.

...or say no weird illegal stuff, etc but have it on their site, anyway. (No weird illegal stuff at all, EVER!)

...Have that one rule that makes them an incredible exception to the other hundreds of TGPs out there, you pass over it, because they are #150 on your list, and you being sooo bleary eyed, get your sorry ass blacklisted as a result.

I am sure that there are more...

Well, I'm still here. That makes me pretty happy.

I just thought of another thing that gets me mad as both a submitter and as an owner. I really dislike TGP recips with product placement in the recip. I've set my script decline galleries that have the recips of a couple of TGPs that have a link for penis pills in their recips. The recip area is holy land. I don't like seing advertising there. There is a bigger TGP that has a small text link for penis pills in his recip that I still allow. But that's because I submit there and there and he gets a lot of traffic.

Well, there we go again: personal preferences...
Don't you think it would be fair either to ban them all or none...

Speaking of recips, here's another annoyance:
· badly written recips, particularly with missing color and font deffinitions, though that's a lot worse with Link Lists...
and since I'm just checking my mails:
· confirmation emails only in HTML!
But that's probably only me refusing to use Outlook (for good reasons!), and my on-line email displays as standard setting only text emails; if there's no text I have to click a link (under a warning about possible embedded virus and spyware) to open a second window which then displays the HTML email - it takes sooo long!

Have a good weekend

GeorgeTH · 2005-01-14, 11:56 PM

Here are another two:

· if half the sites have the singular as 'category', half the plural - and Roboform never recognises the other half...
My wife, who's a science teacher, actually once counted "Lesbian" against "Lesbians" - that day we had 67 "Lesbian" to 72 "Lesbians" - can't win either way!
Today I have the same happening with "Redhead(s)", last time it even happened with "Blowjob(s)", and there's nobody to blame...

· if the bloody URL field is too short, and I miss to change the file-name extension!

That one is a pain in the ass. But, like you said, it seems to be a bigger issue with link lists. I don't like the ones that are so incomplete that my CSS completely screws them. Oh well.
