I've just started submitting in the last month or so...
I use G.A.S.S. and am very happy with it, but there are a few things tgp's do that seem to discriminate against hand submitters.
Here is a fairly short list of the things I'm talking about
1 forcing submitters to use cryptic randomly generated passwords.
If you use an auto-submitter than you simply type the password into the program once and only once and never worry about it again.
If you are a hand submitter you wind up with a giant flat file that you have to scroll through for every single tgp you submitt to every single time you submitt to it. I don't understand the need for a password anyway...why not just track by email address since they have to confirm by email anyway. It's not anymore secure since the passwords are passed across the web in plain test any damn way
2 enforcing the one submitt a day rule by allowing only one submitt every 24 hours.
The auto-submitter is programable so that it can make it submitt at any given time 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The hand submitter (being a mere mortal) might not have the luxury of planning his (or her) life around when the submitt goes out. For instance today I had to go shopping with my wife(also known as she who must be obeyed ;-}), so now it's about 6pm and if I do a submitt now, I can't do one in the morning like I ussually do. Why not set it by calendar date... It doesn't really matter when the cut off is just so long as the submitter knows when it is and can plan their day accordingly
3 (and this is the one that really chaps my ass) Blacklisting for stupid shit... I have been blacklisted for honest mistakes(i.e. submitting the wrong URL)
The auto-submitter once you've set it up will never submitt the wrong URL, or have a typo, or accidentally select the wrong category.
The hand submitter given enough time will fuck every one of those things up at least once... I promise.
I understand blacklisting someone for trying to screw you... for instance I have never accidentally redirected traffic or added pop ups, or any of that mad crap.
4 no (or inacurate) description lengths
With an auto submitter you only go through this agony once... not every damn time.
Why oh God why can't people simply say how long the description can be. Some do, but many don't. There's nothing quite as agravating as submitting the same page 3 or 4 thousand times because the TGP owner has decided that the allowable description length is top secret information.
It seems odd to me that I keep hearing tgp owners piss and moan about autosubmissioners (such as Russian submitter) and then proceed to use scripts that seem to make life harder for hand submitters.
It makes me think that I'm fucking up and I oughta just pay for an auto submitter, it would save me about an hour daily and more importandly it'd be less of a damn headache.
Anyway, sorry to rant I'm just a little bitter that I have to decide whether to submitt tonight... or tomorrow.

GASS is a manual tool, where AutoGallerySubmitter does the exact same thing, only automatically. GASS is perfect for assisted hand submissions - but we prefer to do it automatically without having to fill in anything apart from a few details.
