i think it is called *Manipulating Rank* which is not ALLOWED. Hope the owner of Directory Critic see this post so he can know that this directory owner is getting some fake ratings as he is offering free featured !
You offered free links here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=336139 I submitted three of my sites and none were approved... So why should I praise you with a rating now???
smub I never read any of their TOS, so thats no problem. pctec all links that have submitted have been approved so if your was declined then it must of been the script. When the ste opened there was an error on submission which was posted on that thread.
