No I don't, but I am a serious LL submitter. In my 11 months in this business I've subbed over 200 freesites to at least 150 LLs. Twice I've received BL notices, twice I've approached the owner and twice I've received courteous replies explaining it was a mistake.

As fucked up as the system is (due in no small part to the cheaters) it works. Play straight and you'll be fine. Try funny stuff and pay the consequenses.

I think you seriously overestimate word of mouth on the net. By your reckoning I should soon be without both submitters and surfers, yet both are increasing.

I'm really not worried about my own reputation in the business, especially since, as I mentioned earlier, I've deleted all IP ban records and now ban by domain. That said, I'm getting more trigger happy on the ban button.

Lemmy, I am curious, if you disagree with me then why did you delete all IP ban records and now ban by domain ?

And RE "I think you seriously overestimate word of mouth on the net. By your reckoning I should soon be without both submitters and surfers, yet both are increasing." Umm, if you have stopped banning by IP and both your submitters and (more importantly) surfers are increasing, I think that kind of [b]PROVES[b] my point doesn't it?

Because I wouldn't want anyone to be unfairly banned due to another person's shit. I thought that was clear.

I changed my banning practises about a week ago. But I feel you're not going to happy unless I agree with you, so yes, it proves your point.
