Fed-Up with Submitters asking for Refunds as 'NO TOP-LEVEL SUBMISSIONS!'

I got quite a few of those in my dir... funny thing was some of the lower categories had higher pr that the top category and they still wanted it in the top. I usually give them the option of paying the difference for a featured top category submission or a refund. I recently added this to the regular submission page...

Not like it will make one bit of difference because we all know how paypal operates...

 

I know most of the submitters wouldn't bother to read the guidelines but still you can increase the font size for the specific guideline and make it a different color. In your submit notification email template, mention it on the top that the site will be moved to best suitable category.

If it still doesn't work out. REFUND

 

Does someone have a link to info regarding dargre's closed category mod?

Ooops. Just found it. I think this is the page with the mod:
http://www.linkforever.net/pld_mods.php

 

http://www.linkforever.net/pld_mods.php slightly down the page you will see the
closed category mod, its part of a mods package, highly recommended, and dargres a cool guy, very decent and helpful.

 

Yeah, this is a pain.

I will be installing that mod as soon as I get some free time.

For now, when this happens, I send an email back stating the guideline, and tell them where the guidelines are. And like Pctec, I let them know the difference to upgrade. 9 times out of 10, the customer sends the extra money.

If not, just refund and move on. (It hurts though!)

It on members forum, tips and tricks.

 

I think this might be also because all directories operate on different rules, maybe we should standardise. Have a rule book , all directories following a specified code, saying the directory is xyz code certified. Bah wont work , most of them still dont read.
