I'm not going to lie about the site being mine, or the affiliate links belonging to myself. Nor have I even attempted to hide this fact? I understand all too well about protecting the forums from spammers and people trying to take advantage. But this entire forum is made on affiliate sites similar to mine.
I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but what is wrong with submitting my own sites? As long as I play by the rules and actually contribute to the rest of the community. As far as I understand it, that is not spamming.
I mean, reading through the rules you mention Spammers starting flame wars, starting junk threads, posting in the wrong area's, linking directly on the forums with their referral codes, being here just for the money.
I'm confident I don't do any of these things and labeling me as a spammer for the simple fact that it is my site is a bit frustrating I have to say. I would understand if I was re posting old tired content, but everything I've ever posted was either self made with the permission of the content providers or brand new. Just like the madden gallery I mentioned. Brand new, fresh gallery, never before seen and it gets deleted?
Once again, I'm contributing fresh unique content, not spam?
Sorry to vent, but I'm just having trouble finding the logic in this. I've spent a lot of time here on peachy forums. I didn't just sign up a week ago. But when you are labeled something you're really not it tends to light a fire inside me.
