What do you think about submitters that...

Aren't there two issues here. info domains are great for information sites, but because of the free giveaway a lot of cheaters grabbed them and used them for submission and trading sites. My feeling is that if an info isn't an information site, and you don't have time to investigate it, then block it.

The other issue is the use of a paysite name. I own www.raven-riley.com which is used exclusively to promote Raven Riley. JayMan is also aware that I own it and has no problem with that (well maybe he thinks I should send it more traffic

). I've got several like this and I always notify the site owners that I'm using them.

I'm sorta on the fence about this issue. I do think it is somewhat deceiving though.

In any other biz, the company would shut the domain down for infringing on their name, but here I suppose it would be OK as long as you're exclusively promoting the paysite of the same name (and the sponsor is cool with it). One of those annoying gray areas... sets off a red flag for me.
