Do you allow this??

[sue-fl]

Hi, I had 5 submits today that I had to decline because the 2257 link lead to a page with out going links to porn.

Am I being to picky or does this bother other link list owners also?

Now that my submits are finally picking up I'm running into all kinds of shit... Thanks in advance!!

No links to anything. Just their statement.

I've had a couple that put the link to the sponsor's 2257 info on their 2257 page, but it goes to the sponsor's front tour (which of course has a link to the 2257 info on it).
Nope, not acceptable

I think 2257 pages should only have text, no links at all.

I've become very picky in the last couple of weeks (I think UW is rubbing off on us )

If they are using sponsor content and want to link to the sponsors 2257 that is fine. But not to the sponsors tour. NO OUT GOING LINKS ON 2257.

Remember I don't even require the damn thing in the first place

I'm more pricky than picky

I've been allowing people to link to a sponsor's clean 2257 page from their own on-domain 2257 page, but I don't understand why they don't just link directly to the sponsor's page in the first place.
Admittedly, I don't check the 2257 link on every free site, but when I do I expect to see zero links. This is a very fair rule and free site submitters can't complain because most of us don't count it against their 3 links out. If they get upset, then they can hop on over to the TGP world where a great many of them do count it against their whopping 2 links out.

Glad to hear some of you feel the same way. I guess because I'm a new link list they figure they can fool me. It sucks though because I'm lucky if I get 5 submits a day that I can actually list.

I don't know how you "big guys" do it though. Going threw 20 submits a day and i'm.... How the hell do you handle hundreds?? Ok putting my tippsy ass to bed now..football and beer....what else need I say..

Thanks!

Another in agreement here

There should be no links on the 2257 page...simple plain text only.

Yea, that damn UW...he's a bad influence

I don't even check out links to 2257 page. I send 30-50 visitors to each site usually. How many of them click to that links? Probably no one. So who cares about 2257 page? I don't care. But i'm really care about some too picky and too small LL owners who lose submiters because of their requirements...
Though exploits, dialers and other crap like that not allowed on 2257 page.

Then don't fucking bother submitting. I love the fact that some people think small link lists should just be gracious cocksuckers and accept any fucking thing submitted to them. It's bullshit. Some of us want to build quality lists that surfers trust and bookmark. I'm not going to throw MY FUCKING RULES out the window because a few submitters bitch and moan because I won't let them fuck me any more than they'd fuck Greenie or Richard.

BTW, it's the same policy on the big lists.

I thought you didn't care about the 2257 link. You don't even check it, remember?

Did i said it? I just think small owners should not a lot picky like big guys. Sometimes freesite gets listed at big LLs and declined by small LLs for some curious reasons. (pics too big, i can't see big guys's recips near my one, submitter too blonde..)
btw
I still not going to check out every damn 2257
page instead cheking where site already
listed and where's sumbitter already blacklisted(maybe). This way works better for me.

Well I tried when I first started not to be so picky as I'm a small link list. The problem I ran into was these people taking advantage of the fact I'm not so picky. Sending me so many sites that are just plain shit! I have some regular submitters that send me great sites that follow my rules. My rules to begin with a very basic. I may be small and may never become a "big" link list but that's ok at least its not a small list full of crap sites.

Sue - I kind of felt that way too...I needed the submits & felt a bit pretentious declining sites just because there was a tiny scroll.
Then I thought - you know, I have to build my sites to conform with all these rules, why should someone else not have to? The rules aren't terribly restrictive, everyone knows them (or should) and unless there's some wierd rule like you can't use the color blue, then everyone either conforms or doesn't get accepted -period.

It's like having kids - you have to get the rules down right from the start cuz it gets harder as they get bigger (spoken from experience )

If my 2257's were some of the ones in question. OOps. checking my webmaster affiliate links today and they were all going to 2257's, conversly 2257 links went to sponser webmaster site. Fixed now.

Here's the thing - none of our newer link lists are ever going to be a |ink-0-rama or a D_a n g e rD a ve. We'll never have that much SE traffic or any other kind of traffic for that matter. There's no hope what-so-ever for us to ever obtain that level of success. It's sad, but true. The submitters who submit to our lists do so, not for a huge bucket o' hits, but to increase their over SE presence. We, as little link list owning assholes, have no reason to not shadow the rules of the big/old dudes. The GOOD submitters are already building to suit the big guys anyway.

Demand quality from the start and build a reputation for listing good sites. It's better for free site subitters if we all follow the same basic policies anyway.

That doesn't mean you can't bend or break rules along the way so you can list sites or pages that you see potential SE benefit from. There are a handful people out there that build special SE free sites that don't come close to meeting our listed specs, but they are still surfer friendly and can only help our niche pages build PR and gain vital SE traffic. I'd list those any day. (Just don't tell anyone )

I was hoping my freesites were quite SE freindly. From what I submitted to Javes what would you say?

You know...I read this yesterday and didn't say anything, but I just can't pass it up twice. I'm taking this as a personal challenge!
