View Full Version : I was banned

Hello,
Until a few months ago, I was a frequent submitter of free sites; for personal reasons, I had to take a long break.
A few days ago, I restarted building and submitting. Some sites listed me, some didnīt; I thought this was due to the backlogs, but then I submitted to SmutGremlins, and got a notice that I was banned, for "redirecting after getting listed".

Honestly, I didnīt do that.
There was a time when I had about 100 domains, most of which listed with the big guys; I never removed any recip, much less redirect sites.
A reason I can imagine for the "redirecting" is that I let a few of the domains expire (as PageRank is not so important now), and probably someone took them and put something else. I know it was my fault that I didnīt talk to the LLs about this, but this mistake is not as bad as redirecting a free site.

Is there anyone I can contact to fix this mistake? I filled the form which was presented to me after I submitted to SG, but I got no reply yet.

Thanks for any help.

And the domain and/or e-mail that is banned would be?

Hi, Cleo

I use my personal e-mail in submissions (I started submitting in 1999, when spamming was not so serious), I wouldnīt like to have it exposed. Is there any way I can send it privately to you?

BTW, most of my sites used to be in the root domain, and I got some rejection messages from you suggesting that root domains should not be used for free sites (so, I donīt think I have any sites listed by you). Today, I fully agree with you, I hope I can submit some sites to you in the near future.

Thanks.
