I've received yet another email from the submitter in question, though I still haven't replied to his first one, and it appears that he now understands what I was saying. He thought I was blacklisting him because the title of the his free site was the same as the title of some other free site - and that is why he couldn't comprehend what my problem was. He went on to explain why he named the folders in his file paths the way he did:
Quote:
I was looking for an easier way to name my folders and thought
a site's name would work. I hadn't read any rules anywhere
saying that it wasn't allowed. I didn't have any evil intentions
and didn't even know that it was a bad idea.
It was a bad newbie mistake, as I had initially assumed, and I can understand and empathize with that.

And Sheepguy is absolutely right, of course. Some of the not so clever submitters create a different folder for each list they submit to. When they do that, you can expect them to attempt all sorts of trickery to see what they can get away with [by making changes on a listed free site] at individual lists.

The lesson here remains the same - don't use a link list's (fucking) name in a URL, no matter the reason.
