Hint Hint for free site submitters, blacklist issue

Mr. Blue · 2005-02-21, 12:32 PM

Thank you for posting this.

I have a question though...which may seem silly. Why not inform a person they got blacklisted? A lot of people, like myself, might make an innocent mistake of thinking a 755 pixel table acceptable to fit 800 x 600. Personally I didn't think that deserved a blacklist and secondly I wouldn't have realized it if stuveltje hadn't posted this link.

I'm not saying its any big loss to link lists that I got blacklisted, but I am new, I am learning the ropes, and once I do learn the ropes I'll be a solid submitter that will follow all the rules and never break them.

Also if you submit your webpage to other link lists and get accepted it generally reaffirms you're "Making the page right" and makes you even less likely to think you got blacklisted elsewhere.

I'm not sure how hard it would be to add some feature that informs someone they've been added to a blacklist, but it would be nice and also helpful to new adult webmasters.
