As to rules, my impression is that they have become less stringent over the last 2 years. I see this as a good thing, but something that would be helpful is if ll owners would update their rules. Many list have rules which they don't enforce, or no longer apply.

We did work it out - I appologised corrected the problem - he banned me

Now he has started this thread.......

Seriously it is laughable, then I got the new guy who taken over Clicks 4 Sex banning me too for a some nonsense reason that was not within my control and again can be proved.

This is the issue with the business as a whole, and this is a perfect example as to what happens when someone takes over a perfectly good web site and tries to be all wobnderful.

"I will be letting things get through, though tightening them up over time" - what utter bull

Why? - thats is not a fair call at all Mary Lou not a fair call at all....

Firstly I NY Jester pointed out an issue I dealt with it, I did not slate rant nor complain about his list. I took on board what he said and action ed them.

We seemed to agree to disagree, no major problem.

I come back and see the thread and see others are pilling in and judging me on a simple mistake that I have resolved.

Mr Mary Lou you should know me a bit better then these guys, I thought you would understand that it is possible to make mistakes and it is not the mistakes it is how you deal with them that counts.

I did leave this alone and moved on though other members of the forum have continued the debate and are sharing my details and submission name and banning me, as I say its laughable.

I am very upset that some people here who have know me a long time and infact some I have met in person and shared beers with have not said something to support me but I guess I am learing something else about the characters here.

I acept you think I flogging a dead horse though I also have to stand up for myself too, I hope you and others can understand that

(quoting MML because I agree)
To SmithMedia-
I've got no skin in this game at all, so here is the complete unbiased third party opinion:

It is Jester's site, it is Jester's traffic, it is Jester's rules. Same with the other LL owners. If you don't like their game then don't play. If you build your own traffic, then you can do with it as you please. As long as you are wanting their traffic then you must jump through their hoops ... even if the rules change, even if there are "unwritten" rules.

That said, I have not built or submitted a FS or TGP gallery since 2006, so this is as unbiased as you will get.

I agree with what you are saying - I totally agree with it being Jesters right to call the shots on his list. Jester made his call and I have to acept that though I am very unhappy with impact its had on me with other sites as this was all caused by a simple a mistake.

you were the one who started that particular thread, not Jester. If you had handled the situation privately via email or PM you wouldn't have the problems with the other sites.

Chalk it up to unintended consequences, learn and move on.

I did try conducting over email though did not manage to make contact I came here as this was sugested as the second form of contact

What ever whys and ifs this has been resolved, but it still makes for a debate and maybe others will learn from my mistakes.

I was critical of your submissions because of your phony recip tables, Sure

But that is not why you were banned from Click 4Sex Fun

You were banned after the 3rd time in two weeks that you submitted sites with intentionally hidden enter links (smallest font on the page by far), and Enter link font color closely matching the background of the page (The only place on the page where there font color was used was the enter links, and the only place on the page where font size 7 was used...so yes intentional)

Add to that multiple redirects to sex.gb.net (again on several submittals...once may be broken links...over and over is cheating)

That is why you were banned with me

I do not make it hard to get into or navigate free sites mate, see what you are decribing to me there is decline on design issues not an amtept to cheat.

Most LL will return a site and say 'Broken Images' fix and resubmit. Its not cheating they are once again heavy words.

Let me explain cheating to you - cheating is when some half wit makes a bunch of sites then after they are listed changes the content or more so changes the the roote url to redirect to lets say a PPC programme.

I sit here quite possibly like you making page after page after page, some will mess up, some I will screw up on but never would I consider submiting a site with a view to nicking the odd click.

Thing is fella the likes of Linkster were good for submitters like me, they were good because they returned the submission and explained what was wrong.

As I am sure you will agree it is not always possible to see the wood for the trees. Again I acept your decision its your LL I would of course like to amend the situation and sort things out but that is out of my hands.
