Neither have I, yet I know it to be true. There are a lot of policies that aren't stated in "the rules". Anyone who reads the link list forum regularly would know about the whois issue.

Well that is called Cheating. Any webmaster who does not list a site for reasons he does not state in his rules is a linkback thief. No honest webmaster wants to be listed on any website like that.

And as to actually having it as a rule, the reason for whois protect is to prevent spam and direct mailing. Anyone who actively works against whois protect, is at best encouraging spammers, and at worst a spammer himself. Any webmaster who submits to a LL or TGP that he believes has this rule is a fool, because you are sending your email address to someone you know is likely to sell it. And as your 'submit' email address cannot really use any spam filtering (because many 'confirm' emails contain words that will triggers spam filters) you most definitely don't want that to happen.

You know what, ecchi - fuck you. I'm not in the mood to argue. I'm right. You're wrong. Piss in your tea.

It's obvious you don't submit freesites.

First off, every linklist that I have submitted to -- which used to be a very great amount -- always has a line that says something to the equivalient of, 'your page is listed at my discretion', and most go further and say they may just not list a site if it is unattractive or they are in a bad mood.

Secondly, I can't off hand think of any linklist owners that don't check for a protected whois and would still list a site with a protected whois without having any knowledge about the submitter prior to his first submission. <- See I left in the possiblity of an exception.

Jigga-what? This is absurd. I can gaurentee you that my submission email address has never received any SPAM whatsoever. But maybe that was just because of my reluctance to submit to eastern block linklists.

I do now have it posted on my rules page, but this has been discussed so many times...anyone who's on top of the free sites game should know about it. Also, I notify people when it's an issue...so it's not like this is some 'secret' reason to decline sites.

Ecchi...sometimes your cluelessness is truly amazing
