I seem to get the impression that people are thinking this will be one large gallery pool which it's not...(i think)
The whole point from i gather from TheHun, and i may be wrong, is to make this as efficient and simple as possible. With everyone maintain there own control over decisions of blacklists, etc.
Basically, i would set it up like this.
The webmaster would sign up for a submission "code," and pay the fee. The webmaster then has his code, and submits to TGP's as usual. Only difference is, there is a new field in submission forms that ask for this code.
All the code really does is "ACT" like any normal credit card would. Once the webmaster submits, the code is check at a database. If the code has to may blackmarks on it, the submission STILL goes through to the TGP, but the TGP webmaster will be sent an email regarding the blackmarks and the reasons on them.
TGPs will still maintain control on their own blacklists. I for one will have no one control my blacklist. It doesn't make sense to me. My criteria for blacklisting may be different then others on certain subjects.
The way a code gets blackmarks is you can a system like Ebay where you can add commets to the persons code. Only people with proven TGPs, affiliates programs, content providers, and the person OF that code, will have access to that feature to post good or bad things. Obviously the person who owns that particular code will have access to write his own feedback on the issues for or against him. But he will not have access to anyone else's. This give the TGP owner the choice to make his own decision to blacklist that person from his TGP.
This way, TGP webmasters maintain control over there submissions, their blacklist, and everthing. The submitter can write there own response to good things about them, or bad things about them.
The point is is freedom from the system. The system should be a TOOL...nothing more. No gallery pools, no blacklist, nothing. The choices are left up to the TGP's webmasters to make there OWN final decision about a certain submitter, etc.
Either way, just something to think about. The appropriate structure would be the biggest issue to make this work.
