I agree 100%, the cheaters ruined it for everyone. Spamming out 10 russian submitter galleries a day behind proxies and then redirecting to a dialer as soon as the traffic started coming in. Those guys can
So TGP's started the partner account deal so they could only deal with trusted submitters.
Then a couple of the big boys (marks and sublime directory) started demanding a link at the top of your page to one of their paysites in order to get listed.
The thing evolved to a point where paid partner accounts are a staple of a big TGP owner's income.
Which is fine, traffic is a commodity that has value.
