Why now baned?

While I am just getting back in the links game and haven't had the opportunity to get spammed yet with all these submissions, I figured I'd add my input to this.
From the submitters point, I understand that you don't have much control over what content other people on the same webhost host.
From the LL owners, I can see where getting a bunch of crap submission can get frustrating. It is hard enough to go through the legitimate traffic, let alone the mass of crap as well.

Unfortunatly, for the submitters, I have to side with the LL owners here. I have been using different webhosts for about 10 years now, and I have never been on one which would allow content such as rape, incest, kiddie porn, etc. If I found out they did, then I would be transferring my sites as quickly as possible, because I would hate to have someone say... "Hey, look at KoolKat, he hosts on that host that just got busted for hosting child porn, maybe he is doing it too!". For any host to condone it in the first place is a major issue! After all, they do have to set the accounts up, so seeing something like rape or incest in the URL should be a red flag!
I know there are a lot of legitimate hard working webmasters out there, but unfortunatly these bad ones are making it hard on you. You need to look out for yourself.
There are lots of legitimate web hosts out there that will allow adult content, and web hosting costs are getting lower and lower, so it isn't that hard to move hosts if needed.
For those of you who have been banned... I'm sure the other LL owners would consider removing you from their banned lists if you simply did what they asked. This is beneficial to everyone! Without the link lists, some of you would get very little traffic, but the link lists also need you, so it's not in their best interest to have to ban people. But in the same breath, there are thousands of webmasters trying to get listed, but a lot small number of lists that send huge amounts of traffic!
Overall submitters... it is in your best interest to listen to what these guys (and gals) are saying. You have the most to loose!
