Opinions of listing sites with no meta, alt, or title tags?

I always take the time to put alt, title, and meta tags on everything I build so I guess I just expect the same from others.

I notice that from these same submitters their site title and description seems to also be lazily written and I usually end up rewriting them in my admin although the sites themselves are fine.

I get more submits then I need so maybe I'm trying to decide if I should tighten up my rules on this or not.

I’m an amateur but from what I’ve heard search engines pay very little attention to meta tags nowdays because of previous spamming or stuffing of keywords that were not useful to the page at hand. They still look at the description meta tag to use it when the page is listed in the search engine but other meta tags probably won’t help with ranking. The title tag is one of the more important tags. I still try to use meta tags, alt tags, and title tags but as far as title tags on links go, I didn’t realize they were so important.
