Whilst doing some work on my lenses yesterday, I discovered that someone had added a load of links to photography lenses on one of my link plexos. As this particular link plexo was requesting links to prove my case (it was a debate lens) I was quite annoyed that these links had been placed there.

I have to admit to feeling annoyed when people don't read the instructions or criteria for adding links or applying for submissions to groups etc. and this really was in excess. All these links had come from one squidoo lensmaster and turned out to be a good many of his own lenses. What made this worse to me was this lensmaster was also a Giant Squid.

Not one of those links left contributed anything to the debate of the lens so I removed them all. I've now altered the submissions on that lens and all links have to be approved my me.

I have the same problem in my Squidoo groups and topsite that hardly anyone reads the instructions or admission criteria and I'm left wondering if it's ever worth providing these services at all!
