Ok enough is enough now. over the past week ive gotten over 30 adult submissions to the kids category for my directory...different IP's also.. #1 adult website are againt my ToS. And #2 taking that adult submission and putting it in a kids category. I mean common. Ofcourse its just a matter of not accepting the link but its getting anoying. Anyone else experienceing this? or is it just me If you are not effected by this,...feel free to rant about some other anoyance you have with your directory -Tim
Its either pedophiles trying to sneak in, or blatant disregard for your requirements. They are probably submitting to everyone hoping to sneak in. How annoying!
I thought the same, I din't get the same amount. I did get one or two that was submitted in the Kids category. What buffled me is, I have an adult category and you can't mess this link. I think they are just being funny? No acceptance, even if Hugh Hefner submitted it.
I haven't experienced anything like this, but maybe they just haven't got round to me yet. What you can do is make a note of the words and phrases they use in their submissions, and add them to your word filter. If you don't already have a script with this function, consider getting one. There are a few scripts out there that have this, and it can be a useful defence against unwanted submissions.
Best is always review the link submission. That is why most directories says in "DESCRIPTION" Human Edited and Quality sites only. Its not a matter of immediate acceptance. Review each pages. I have a tool for looking illegal sites. But it is a sekrit.
It has nothing to do with whatever rules are laid down with submissions. From experience if you have a "fun and games" category automatic spam gets sent to it, rather than any other. So kids categories doing so also is no surprise.
Timllard what is the ip address of the website? post over here as we are continously updating the spam ips
I've also been getting adult submission although I have clearly stated at the first line of TOS that they won't be accepted. Fortunately the amounts have been low, so I haven't had problems to keep them under control.
Well adult sites are ok as i own 2 adult directories myself. Now as for the Clowns that have been submitting to kids catagory.... they have no shame, as well as screws everyone else up as well who are trying to get their sites submitted.. thx malcolm
In the case of my directory, adult sites are not ok, they break my ToS. I have nothing against them, nor against the people who own them. i just see no need for them in my type of directory. but other than that i know what you are saying. -tim
the worst are vandals. I offer services for webmasters, and others come and destory other people's work...that to me makes no sense. maybe i'm an idealist
We could make a script for yah When they submit to your directory, during the PageRank check process, we can check the page for Dirty Keywords like S*X, P*SSY, etc... Just an Idea, I think it would be a good plugin for phpld and esyndicat... I shall start working on it now if you guys are interested anyways, hehe.
