What Pisses You Off With Link Lists & Free Sites?

ponygirl · 2007-08-18, 10:38 AM

as a submitter, there's a couple of small things that annoy me:

- I understand the need for image verification. but pleeeeeze make sure they're legible. I hate having to go back 2 or 3 times to try again, especially if when I go back the stuff I've already filled in is gone

(although I may just need stronger glasses

)

- I'd like to see more LLs put on their rules they'd accept longer titles, maybe 4-5 words. Many times I've had great titles with an extra little word & not used it because quite a few of the LLs I sub to specify only 3. I know I may get away with more if they're little words, but I don't try because I'm an LL owner too, and I hate it myself when submitters try to get away with shit, even when it's little shit

Most of the basic rules are pretty much across the board and aren't too tough to live with, although I wouldn't mind seeing 4 links out per page allowed.

other than that, I can't say anything else really bothers me. I've adapted to the pic rule by using mostly movies lol, and don't sub to too many LLs that it's that much of a pita to grab a new recip.

I strongly agree, especially being as it is possible to retain the information that was already placed in the fields if the image verification fails.

Yes, I would kill for five word titles to be generally accepted.

Other issues:
I'd love if sponsors could package content correctly. How hard would it be for them to optimize images correctly before they drop them in a zip file.

It's infuriating to me when sponsors gove out content sets for a niched site with only a handful of images/movies seconds that actually show that niche. I have a sponsor that is anal themed, and they release 5 movies per scene, and only 1 of the movies has anal in it... What the fuck am I going to do with that?

I'm not seeing anywhere near the same SE traffic as I used to, to my freesites. So I'me building 3 more pages than I would have to if I was building galleries, and seeing less traffic -- maybe even in the long run.

As an owner...

Hardcore Partying sites!

Vidcaps.

People who respond in anger when their site gets rejected.

1 template wonders.

My recip being the only fucked up one on the index.

Thank-you! I get slammed with that one too.

I easily solved that one. I don't send rejection notices.

Another vote for that one. I hate taking 20 color blind test when I submit and the case sensetive o0OlI stuff. Make em numbers or letters and non case sensetive.

24 hour limit on submits. I hate em. Why not 23 for those of us that have (or had) a regular routine. As it is now I just take a day a week off from subimtting and just submit whenever.

Having a resubmit count as your one submit for the day (if it's something minor) penisbot has a real nice system for handling this.

oh, that's a good one. I never used to find myself being able to submit every day but lately I've streamlined things to the point where it doesn't seem impossible

2 subs/day or maybe a preferred submitter list who can sub 2x/day would be cool too.

I have a few.

First, LL sites that don't understand the content. I have made non-nude/tease types of sites and been rejected for not showing enough nudity. Teasing and not showing nudity the point of the whole site. I have also made voyeur and amateur sites where to quality of the pics/movies wasn't top notch and have gotten rejected for low quality content. The point of many voyeur and amateur sites is that they are supposed to be lower quality to reflect the real/taboo nature of the niche.

Second, like someone else said, the 24 hour rule. I understand it it fully, LL's don't want to get flooded, but what ends up happening is that on Monday I start my submissions at 1pm, I have to wait until 2pm on tues then 3pm on wed and by Friday or Saturday it is 5 or 6pm when I'm submitting and at that hour I should be drinking beer somewhere

. 22 or 23 hours would let me start my submits at 1pm and finish them by 2pm then I could do them at the same time the next day.

Those are my only real complaints. Otherwise I am cool.

It seems to me that the whole LL/freesite model is drifting towards providing the surfer with more and more free porn of better and better quality that is becoming easier and easier to find.

The definition of a freesite is becoming narrower, the list of don'ts is getting longer. For the WM interested in making the most of it, it is becoming harder to make unique designs each and every day. I haven't received a template rejection...yet.

How 'bout loosening up a little on site structure and content requirements? What's wrong with a linear site? What's the harm in a few "semi-blind" links as long as you're not downright tricking the surfer? What about a benign console? Pics on html pages with banners?

It's been said more times then I care to remember on this board that we should tease the surfer just enough to take out the plastic, not enough to get him off. Just recently I was rejected because I didn't have 5 movies on each page (which was fair enough because it was right there in the rules). But still it's ridiculous. 10 movies to a freesite, 1000s of freesites listed. Small wonder conversions are dropping.

The way things are progressing we might as well soon visit the surfers at home and jerk them off ourselves.

Oh yeah, I too hate hardcore party sites, impossible-to-read image verifications and people who don't send rejection e-mails.
