This would include deleting all free hosts when they make a header change. Or deleting galleries if a fix is made, or a sponsor code is fixed... Too many galleries would be deleted for no reason.
2. Stopping posting freehosts (like other Big TGPs)
Don't want to do that. Many people, especially when they first start out, work on a free host. I want to give those people a shot at starting out as well. So I will keep listing free hosts. Part from that, the number of cheaters on a free host are about equal to to the number of cheaters on their own hosting. People cheating on their own servers usually are even harder to detect 'cause they can play tricks in the operating system which is not possible on a free host. Free hosts are easier to check with a robot

As for freehosts:
If we could agree on that majority of cheaters are beginners who have insufficient marketing skills to sell product so they have to cheat to make little money to survive, then your concept allowing newbies & free hosts is wrong.
This is the same like if google allowed newbies to get listed with badly optimized pages just because they can't do it properly because they haven't learn it yet. Let the newbies try smaller TGPs and when they grow up and learn, they won't need to cheat on their payhosts.
As for payhosts etc. I agree it is probably harder to catch people playing with server stuff etc. , but make sure your bot behaves EXACTLY like browser and you can get rid of the rest of cheaters.
Gonna for lunch now ;)
