I don't really see why a good bot can't detect cheating and still allow freehosts. A bot that spoofs http_referer and http_user_agent fields and works through proxies can't really be detected. If that bot checks for banned words, banned sponsors, banned javascripts, server redirection and whatnot then how do the cheaters get through?

I don't run a tgp and have only ever submitted about a dozen galleries as it isn't really my cup of tea; I'm just surprised that a well coded LWP bot can't keep 'cheating' down to a tiny window of vulnerability equal to the time it takes the bot to re-check a gallery.

On another note the accountability of this type of system would probably reduce content copyright violations significantly.

cheers
