    Hi Guys
    I have been getting lots of featured links submitted to my directory who are not paying for it.
    It seems that they think they can get it for free if I activate the link by mistake.
    I thought that I should expose these people to you , so here is a List with their details so that you can delete them too if they submit to your directory & do not pay.

    Thanks
    Ishan

    So you got so many featured submissions and no pay ? :eek:

    I think the person may be from same IP - Ban that IP ..

    Whew! Great list there you've added. Must have taken you some time to compile and share with others.

    I guessed that you might be using a free version. :)

    Paid version prevents spam submissions.

    If you want to find the IP of any link then you have to point out your mouse to that link 'Title' and there in last column you find Owner IP: :D If you want to ban that ip you must have phpld paid version IMO. ;)

    You are welcome ishan ;) If you go for paid version then you'll ban those ip's from your admin panel itself :)

    It's probably coming from the same person, because that is a lot and it looks like most are for the month of May.

    I don't think I have ever gotten one of them.(crosses fingers)

    We've been getting a lot of those too but so far it's no big deal to delete them. Why don't people just play fair? :confused:

    I do delete every link that has not sent a payment. Even if it is a coolest website on the internet.

    It just irritates me. :(
