I'm curious from people that run TGP's with the standards below what the real justification is. I can only presume it's that galleries aren't really wanted at all unless paid submissions. Certainly that makes sense financially if you can pull it off but why not admit it from the outset?

To explain what I'm rambling on about :

Just got a rare rejection e-mail from the hun. As most of you know he (or nowdays his reviewers) rarely sends rejection e-mails at all. This one simply stated that my movie gallery was rejected because the design was 'based around an ad' ie it was a design that was themed towards the site it was selling although it still only had two sponsor links. The e-mail went on to say it drew too much attention to the advertising (do others remember days when the hun never used to mind listing galleries designed to sell?) and not the content which to be honest is the idea as far as I'm concerened ie to get clicks on the advert.

Nothing unusual so far as it's pretty much the norm these days for many TGP's (thank god people like Shemp still exist who do undertsand we are all trying to make a buck). Where my bitching comes into it is the gallery still has FAR less advertising than any in the top 20 spots. Now if the rejection was to keep his surfers happy the same rules would surely have to apply to the first 20? So it seems to me it's simply to say 'fuck free listings I want money for them'. Not so much of a problem if that's the way any TGP wants to go but it'd be far better to be honest about it.
