Oh come one!!! this can't be serious!!!
The same guy that started out with hotlinking complete directories of pics on his Yellow pages wants to weed out cheaters!!!!
And don't tell me it isn't so I was there!
And we the gallery builders should trust that? pleassse!
Now with that out of the way let me recap:
In order to receive 80k of freeloaders watching our content, burning our bandwith and are the sole reason they return to your Yellow pages we now will have to pay????
I don't think so!
Another point I'm one of those lucky SOBS that know how CC verifictaion works technically and I can asure you ripping CC info online is childsplay!!! ergo I will NEVER I repeat NEVER use my CC online I'd rather download my own dialer and pay $ 3.99 a minute on my phonebill
Third blacklists: ever compared your rules to those at Al4a? or Zilla's to Richard's?
Pipe dream that's all I can say.
Bottom lin eis this:
TGP site owners chose to be in that area of teh adult biz and as the saying goes can't take the heat? stay out of the kitchen!
Gallery reviews are part of the job, so is abuse management.
If you're to lazy to weed those fuckers out yourself go run pay sites or be a sponsor
Let's see teh developement of the larger TGP's over the years:
They use bots to verify submisions so they have an easier time reviewing. when TGP Brownie arrived it becaime even easier it checks links, counts, thumbs, checks recips and more.
So these days they hardly have to do anything more then click yes/no a few times untill their list is complete.
For the gallerybuilders those large TGP's blacklist ya ass if you use an autosubmitter.
We get limited by often crazy rules on how to design our galleries
We get a shitload of traffic not converting because we can't do no real advertising on those galleries(yet the BW bill is comming)
Have to submit by hand because the idea of getting automated is unspeakable! and I should be burned at the stake for even mentioning it!(accurding to some of these mighter then thou TGP webmasters)
These days I submit to a handfull TGP's who's owners I find decent good folks and that's it I stick to picposts, TGP2 and linksites.
Thanks Hun for reminding me why I haven't submitted to ya in months now.
Good luck squeezing the gallery builder some more.
BTW Dossed anybody lately I know a few that received an honest load of that from ya!
Honest eh? Catching cheaters right? Well I know a certain dude that runs the Yellow pages who would be a good start.

Feeling better
