Solution to fight Cheaters on link-sites
I thought of something that could help us fight cheaters on link-sites and TGP's. Might be an idea to get something going that a lot of sites cooperate on though. People can pay for a submitter pass. Not a lot, maybe even just a dollar or 5 dollars or something, but it means we have personal information of such a submitter on file. And a creditcard number. Once a submitter is caught cheating his account could be blocked. Of course all information on this person will stay on file to prevent him from submitting again.
I have the resources to set something like this up. And I also have the tendency to go for it, 'cause a lot of people have been trying to cheat their way in to a couple of dollars... Luckily my bot takes care of 'em ;-)
Anothing thing I have been thinking of is to get sponsors to work on this. Cheating on a link-site or TGP should be illegal. If people still do this the funds they made so far could be donated to charity (which could also be the pockets of the needing sponsor-owner). That way cheating would simply not be profitable. I talked to a lot of sponsors. They all agree on one thing: traffic generated by cheaters is not making any sales, only costing money and a lot of trouble from pissed of users who report to the sponsor, or the FTC. All in all giving that sponsor a pretty bad name. I'd love to see some cooperation going on regarding this.
