Gallery Builders Corner: The Big Picture of Sponsor Content.

[GeorgeTH]

I can understand his frustration and reasoning, but from a TGP owner's view I can say these few things about sponsor content:

1. I'm getting completely bored with sponsor content!
2. most sponsor content is simply 'shit' = low quality video caps!
3. it's wasting my time; quite often I get within 1 or 2 days the same sets in various templates - they get rejected, but I still have to click through all of them when I review!
Overall my site is still getting far too few submissions - imagine the poor reviewer of a site with 2,000+ submissions!! It's much easier to 'blacklist sponsor content only submitters' and keep the submission number low...
(My policy still is: first come, first served)
4. It's quite often competing with my own advertising and -of course- with sponsor hosted galleries!

re. large images:
I actually like (within reason) large and clear images, and surfers who can't download them due to access speed would anyhow click away from most slow loading graphic-heavy paysite tours... I believe most sites reason for rejecting large images has more to do with 'giving away too much' - with which I only agree to a point.
