Calling all honest linklist owners, I have something special for you.

At the end of the day, suggesting that linksite owners who don't send out rejection mails are somehow dishonest really irks me.

How we each choose to run our businesses is up to us. I feel comfortable being in a fairly decent group of link and TGP owners that don't waste their time sending out rejection mails (and answering the inevitable overflow of returning "I didn't break the rules!" and "your an asshole" emails). It is about making sure we have enough time to handle everything we need to do in a day, without spending out time on unproductive activities. Yes, sending out rejection emails to about 99% of people is a waste of time. Either because people are NOT reading their emails, have no intention of changing their sites, or are cheating multisubmitters that are just looking for tips to make sure you accept their crap sites in the future. None of those people deserve my time or effort.

I clearly state in my rules:

We reserve the right to refuse listings and service to anyone. This is a private website. You can be declined, refused or have your listing removed for any reason. We reserve the right to blacklist domains, email addresses, hosts, and IP addresses without notice, and without notification. If you submit multiple sites that violate the rules, you domain(s) will be blacklisted without notice. We do NOT send decline messages. If your don't like it, get a lawyer and waste your money. :-)

Again, reading the rules will solve all your problems.

Additionally, I have clear links all over to this board, where anyone who doesn't get listed is more than welcome to post up their stuff and we can chat (not PMs, please... post in public, it's better for EVERYONE).

How any of this makes me dishonest or somehow a lesser link site owner is beyond me.

In spite of the fact that this thread was a big shouting match to a degree, I still did learn quite a few things nonetheless.

If your a newbie, read the rules and follow them. Plain and simple. There's really nothing more to say and no other way about it.

Also, slinging insults and shit at the good folks of ANY board will get you nowhere. Your better off going for a walk or counting to 10 or even 1000 if you have to calm yourself down. Besides, expressing yourself angrily is not the answer to any dilemma.

There are gonna be webmasters and linklist operators/reviewers out there that play favorites or show nepotism to anyone they damn well please for whatever reason. That's a fact of life. That will never change no matter what your chosen profession.

Except for one thing: The "honest and ethical" webmasters know exactly who they are how they operate and to them I 'd like to express my gratitude. Talking about being ethical and honest is one thing. Practicing it, is quite another.
