While I do agree that you have every right to require anything out of anyone using your content, I do believe you conducted yourself here in a very unprofessional manner.
Sites like bodsforthemods, badgirlsblog and glam0ur make up a large portion of your traffic and sale. And to call them out in public like theyre scam artists looking to cheat you, rather than emailing them and talking to them on an individual basis is bad business.
You have every right to be upset and I'm not going to argue against you on that, however, these are some of your biggest accounts and you're treating them like they don't help you pay your bills. That's biting the hand that feeds you.
You shouldnt have made a drama thread on GFY to handle this situation, each one of these webmasters is reachable by email and ICQ. You have their information and you should have used it.
How would you feel if babebloggers started posting 1 in 2227 twistys stats all over the place without trying to work something out with you or your staff first? This type of action is something that should be avoided, especially by someone that has so many people invested in them that they should really start taking the higher road more often.
