Recips question

[iMan]

If you aren't sure if a linklist is corrupt, ask here and if the name turns into a bunch of *'s it's definitely bad news.

I've seen some of these cases but is that a reason enough to not submit to these link lists?
I mean, if no reason is given, is the fact that they're *ed out on this board reason enough for everyone to avoid them?

I'd just like to know WHY, that's all...
