What was I thinking??

I must have been nuts to start a link list!! I figured it would be good for my own free sites and my sponsors sites. Had no idea I would run into so much crap though!

Two people are submitting about 20 sites to me every day all the same and break every rule I have.

Then I have the people who make a great website. But they submit content from the same sponsor every day, and promote the same site. I don't mind listing a few of them, but I think to many will bore my surfers. Am I'm right in thinking this way??

Sorry felt the need to rant!! I use links 2.0 and don't see any where I can block the auto submitters.

I do have some great submitters that send me great sites all the time. I know they know who they are and I thank them for the great sites..

alright Sue! let's start a rant!

I've been feeling exactly the same thing the last couple of days. I know we're small but there's some of us in here for the long haul so you good submitters out there don't forget us!

my pet peeves at the moment:
- templates templates templates!
- incorrect recips to mine or other LLs
- crappy grammar & spelling (not just normal stuff, I mean when you go WTF??)
- sites subbed to the category of the sponsor, not the content

no matter how many times I see these things posted about here, people keep doing it. No wonder everyones so cranky

It's harder when you're just starting out, a lot of us are doing stuff by hand so even 30 subs/day is a lot. When you only list 5 of those you gotta shake your head.

I bet you big guys are just laughing your heads off at us now, aintcha

We used to have a guy submit every day that I swear used babel fish to translate his titles and descriptions. MadHatter and I used to leave them the way they were because they were so fucking funny. I wish I had an example.

I know I must make spelling errors, and I'm a bad proofer, I read right over the darn things and don't catch them, lol.

I don't know about links 2.0, I use gossamar threads, and they have a lot of mods, and one was a blockurl mod. Maybe links 2.0 has something similiar, that you can block submitters by url?

Yep, it has been getting worse recently.

Just finished reviewing over 60 sites...less than half of them were acceptable. Tons of blind links, sites that dont' fit at 800x600, and color schemes so bad...it was almost painful

On another note, I want to say 'THANK YOU!' to all my regular submitters that send quality sites day after day! You folks rock and are greatly appreciated

Huh? No he called himself I think Elephant, but haven't seen him submit in years.

Makes me think of the line in bringing down the house when Steve Martin says to Queen Latifa "What did you just say?" That would be our reaction everytime we'd see a description.

Glad I'm not alone!! I hear ya ponygirl I had 79 submits yesterday and think I might have listed 10.....

RedCherry will look into getting a mod to block certain urls, Thanks!

Plateman....LOL if it would work I'd put on pantyhose and combat boots! But then I'd never get anything done, as knowing hubby as I do he would like that a little to much....

Spelling errors LOL I get a lot of that, but I'm the worst speller on earth so.....

Same here. I only have one submitter who puts up questionable stuff -- and he doesn't post on this board as far as I know. BUT...

I've also noticed that going partner only reduces the number of submitters you will see, I guess they don't want to remember one more password or be bothered to log-in to submit.

So there's some good to it and some bad...

If they don't want to remember a password I don't want them submitting.

True, but that's an easier philosophy to abide by once you're established and not trying to grow.
