There are a number of pay-per-click freehosts. Cash happens to be in the title of your host as most of the others. That's how it could be perceived as a pay-per-click host. Also, I made an account there and played around a bit. It seemed I could get links to your material and get paid down the line for the times they were viewed. If it's your site, it makes sense you that you aren't profiting from it by times the pics are viewed.

The images I post are all free of cookies, spam and other things. In fact, if you do a quick post search on my name, you'll see that the dozens of other posts I've made (dating several years back) are of the same type.

Why would I censor it? See above, I perceived it as a pay-per-click host. Yeah, cookies and popups are part of internet porn. That's why members use popup blockers and clear their cookies. The price we pay for free hosts. Webrats had their own uploader for a few years with no popups or cookies. It was abused and is gone.

Well, the fact is I didn't ban you. I am not a Nazi mod. I invited you to post on hosts that were acceptable to us. Your material is well-received here. I am after the person that signs up to make a buck, not a long-time contributing member. I am also after the LEECHERS who don't do a thing here but suck up bandwidth. The rest of what you say could be interpreted by some as an implied threat. We have a procedure to deal with content owners and we do get content banned here once in awhile. No need to invite them here, let them find us and all the others like us on their own.

I'm not a hard ass, your people want to see the images, I want to share the images, we should be able to find a common ground. I don't want to use %%%%%%%%%% because they resize and degrade the image and as a webby, I lose control of it's distribution.
By taking a look at my site and thinking it was a pay to play type thing, I'm assuming when you went to the home page, you saw you had to enter your account number. I get it now. When you go to my site root, that site is for webmasters to get referral sales to my site. When you clicked on the images, no one had to enter anything, it's not a pay per click. That's the only site I have that allows hotlinking, so thats why I use it.
Please unban it.

I wouldn't blame you for being pissed if someone posted your stuff here. We have other members with their own sites that would feel the same, Melissa Midwest for one. After reading what you wrote, I am willing to unban your freehost and bump your two threads back up in the queue. What I am interested in here is generating posts, and your threads will do that. I can also edit the rules sticky to include your sites on the "do not post" list. Please list them for me.

The admin is
You said you already emailed him, but I can asssure you, he will defer to me on this. Also, he is extremely busy. However, you will see I am willing to do as you ask, so he isn't needed unless you want to make him aware anyway. Just link this thread. Most importantly, we have settled this pretty easily. I understand your points, and I am sure when you read this, you will understand mine. So, I will uncensor your sites, please get me the list of your sites, thanks.
Also, the last most important thing is, you can't directly promote your site for memberships. Naturally, people will see your material and be able to find it on their own from the watermarks. If they wish to join you, great. You just can't directly go after them. We had a model here, Sabrina Colt a couple of years back. She posted content from her site, everyone knew about it, but she never linked it. She also interacted with the members and all was cool. Search her thread out, it is a pretty interesting read.
