wtf!!!

I'm with Xallow on this one.

One a day is heck of a lot easier than 1 every 24h. Before when I was submitting, I submitted 1 site at 10am, next day I started at 10:30-11am, next day 30-60 minutes later and so on. Just to be on the safe side (since some days I submitted slower than other days if someone had changed a recip or something), but that meant I had to skip 1 day a week just to get back to 10am.

If you go by 1 a day, sure you can submit 2 sites with 2 minutes in between. But you can only do it once, unless you want to wait almost 2 days to do it again. And you can still only submit 7 sites a week.

Some scripts check with the 24 hr rule, some check with the server time for a new day(like mine), but then you would be running into the times based on the servers time zone which would be very different for most of the LLs - so it wouldnt really make that much difference whether they use the 24 hr rule or not.

This is why I allow two submits a day so I don't have to listen to this particular whine...

Yea, it's a non-issue with me too since I actually allow up to 3/day. And my script doesn't have any time clock anyway...so no biggie.

Only reason I responded was the tone of the first post had that flavor of 'change things for me' kinda thang, and I was trying to let Xallow know that he was

No no, I don't expect anyone to change anything for me, was just making an observation and hoping to bring up a debate about it, and I got what I wanted out of it, it might have been a bit harsh, but I was pretty annoyed when I was typing it(and maybe a bit drunk) and then things tend to come out a bit more harsh than intended

Ahh...gotcha! Yup, that evil alcohol will do things like that to ya

Hang in there Xallow...it can take a while to get up to speed on free sites, but you'll get there

Yeah... but, is that two every 24 hours or two every calendar day?

(the whine doesn't end, it only alters)

Exactly. Happens to me too. Fact is, often I end up submitting six sites a week, rather than seven because of the delays.

I agree that the original post was out of line in its tone and manner. That said, I don't like the "why don't you shut up and be grateful that we're even listing your sites" approach. I would like to hope that LL owners don't consider listing FS some huge favor they are doing to submitters. With all due respect, I am not leeching on anyone's traffic. I see it more as a symbiosis. Submitters provide LL's with quality content for their surfers, not to mention traffic and PR back to the LL. Idealy, this should be a win-win situation, or it would not exist

I had two link lists yesterday that I ran into this because I had submitted late the night before...but they both send a ton of traffic, so I don't complain. I just went to dinner, came back, and submitted my site then. Yea, I'll just have to wait until later today, and the next day, etc but I usually take 1 day off a week from submits, so I get back on track then.

The sites I ran into last night, send so much traffic, I'd imagine they would be flooded with submits if they didn't have that rule.

I can see why the one-per-day rule is very necessary for the big LL's, but they would acheive the same if the script were somehow to detect one submission per calendar day, and it would make it easier on submitters.

Just something to think about, no biggie, I guess.

I agree, ofcourse they need to limit it, and that is just fine, that is great actually, or I would be doing nothing but building sites, but as you said 1 site/calendar day would be great, since it would allow you to submit 2 sites 2 minuts apart, and then have almost 48 hours of not submitting and then you could submit 2 more or some thing like that, or if, as in my case, you have a full time job and this is just on the side,(and the job has changing working hours), you wouldnt get "behind schedule" because you couldn't be at your computer submitting at the same time as you were the day before.

Hope all that made sense, I am tired, just got off work and it is 5 in the morning here
