As a submitter, there is no way I would give my credit card out to 200+ tgps, 50+ link lists separately even if I wasn't be charged.
Also, you have to define what is cheating, we all know the basic forms, redirecting, cp and stolen content. But there has to be a set group of rules in writing. Otherwise you start running into problems with people breaking a rule of a tgp and being labeled a cheater. There is a difference between cheating and breaking a tgp's rules. Both will get you blacklisted though. But what is acceptable at one tgp may not be accepted at another tgp. I've been blacklisted at one tgp because my url was too long! Sure it was against that tgp's rules, but does it warrant being put on a blacklist and labeled a cheater? It is a violation of that tgp's rules but accepted at 99% of the other tgps.
Now if you wanted to setup something like thehuntgpsubmits.com and set up your pass system and all the tgps that wanted to use the galleries submitted also had to subscribe to it and adhere to the same rules, then maybe it might work. That way with your name, The Hun, backing it there is some legitimacy to it.
If I had to pay to prove that I was a legitimate submitter, I would at some point like to get listed at some of those tgps I was paying!

Do people actually bother to read threads? There was never any suggestion that a CC number would be given to any TGP. All that was ever suggested was that a billing company process a nominal fee to ensure that name/address details given are correct. Then you go on about paying to prove your a submitter - good grief. A fee of $1 or $5 really is just a nominal amount for verification. Your hardly paying any TGP as such for a listing. Try reading the other posts and understanding them!
As for the blacklisting thing - this would be my main area of concern as with Mikey. Many people will dish out a blacklist at the drop of a hat. If people are blacklisted it should be for cheating and not something silly like a typo or server going down for 20 mins. Unfortunately some people do currently blacklist for this.
