Link List Name in URLs

I have had a few of those submits too, they were all declined for reasons other than this, but I would like to know why it is a bad idea too.

If you don't mind the unique name of your site being used as a keyword to gain/steal SE traffic, then you won't care. But I do mind. Obviously, merely having a recip to a link list on a free site gives that free site the possibility of getting SE type-in traffic for that Link List's name - nothing we can do about that. It's not a malicious attempt at stealing SE traffic. But using your site's name as directory name or page name IS an attempt at stealing your SE type-ins for that name.

I think we all have enough on our plates with filling out Google SPAM reports to kill off those bastardly SE spammers ripping our pages and using our domain names as keywords, which we've worked hard to promote. The last thing we need is for submitters to abuse us in a very similar manner.

Not only what Useless said, but if someone is going to name a url with my site as part of it, I'd be wondering if they are even submitting to the other LL's. I list pretty quick so I can't always check.
I haven't seen any yet, but I force people to email me and that seems to be beyond the tech skills of most cheaters
