I don't really mind jumping through hoops if there's a "reward" worth doing it for - but all these little TGPs who think they're God (upon themselves) will be deleted from my submit list by the end of the month if they hussle me with things like:
· odd size thumbnails nobody else is using; I don't mind to make an extra thumb of 105x130 pixels if I get some traffic for doing so!
· pester me with confirmation emails despite me having a password - didn't you sending the password to my email confirmed that it's a legit address?
· have 'submit codes' where despite straining my eyes I can't decipher individual characters in the graphic!
· tell me my server is too slow if just before (and after) Comus scripts told me my page is loading in around 130ms - if you run a site on a $4.95 hosting plan then don't blame my server!
· have an odd length description
and don't tell me on the submission form, instead send me back with an error. I don't mind to write a 23 character description for you
if I know about it! My RoboForm is usually set to a 29 or 30 character descriptions, which is a widely accepted standard.
· you gave me a script generated password, despite me asking for my personal pwd, and I know your script allows for custom passwords (AGP! and Comus works fine w/o entering pwd every time!)
· you don't know how to run your site, script, trades, and then burden everything on me! Make your site submitter friendly or use sponsor hosted galleries, but don't ask me to submit and then annoy me every submission I try!
If one (or more) of the above applies to your site and
you can't send me at least 2,000 uniques/month then I will delete you from my submit list!
I don't care if the 2,000 come from one listing or five, and I don't think 2,000 is asking much...
Otherwise I'm wasting my time and I have better things to do...
