In this article I’ll try to give more details for webmasters to have the “perfect submissions” record with us, of course before reading any further you should read the Best Practices rules, because everything in this article is related to it.
Applications:
- The “V v. ver” condition
When you submit applications, always make sure that you include the version number in title, we’re not fans of applications posted without the version number, having that said lots of version information are included with what I call the “V” condition, for example:
Webroot Spysweeper v5.8.1.47 or Webroot Spysweeper v.5.8.1.47 or Webroot Spysweeper ver5.8.1.47
Whenever you submit an application, try to always remove the “v” and just keeping the application name and version number.
For example: Webroot Spysweeper 5.8.1.47 = Perfect
- The “Build” condition
Lots of applications has “Build” included part of the version number, when you submit an application with “Build” in it, we always prefer you do one of two things, either completely remove the build information, or merging it with the version number, for example Internet Download Manager 5.12 Build 9:
Edit the title and turn it to:
Internet Download Manager 5.12 (Build completely removed) or
Internet Download Manager 5.12.9 (Merged with the original version number)
If the application is portable, only add (Portable) at the end of the title, not (Portable USB) not (Zomg use it anywhere), just (Portable) for example:
WinRAR 3.7 (Portable)
Things we generally don’t like in applications submissions:
- “Edition”, try to remove that term from the application title, for example “Windows XP SP3 Professional Edition” should be “Windows XP SP3 Professional”.
- AIO (All in Ones), try to refrain from submitting AIOs, single downloads are always better, its specific and meets the user’s needs, we’re not too strict about this, but we’re also not fans.
- Don’t include useless terms in title, such as “Patch included”, “Registered with proof” or any similar terms, keep it simple and direct, application name and version number should do the trick, that should also go with all the other categories, not just application, don’t add information that is not needed.
Movies:
When you submit movies, we only require you to add the movie’s title and release year, nothing else, unless the movie is foreign then include the audio language suffix, don’t include the movie quality, duration, main stars…etc, here is the perfect submission for movies:
If its an English language movie: Wanted (2008)
If its a foreign language movie: The Namesake (2006) (Hindi)
And thats it, nothing else, its really simple so it would be annoying seeing something that simple being submitted in a wrong way.
TV Shows:
This is also another simple category, nothing much is required just the TV Show title and Season/Episode information, if its a single episode submission:
Weeds - S04E06
If its a complete specific season:
Weeds - Season 4
If its from season one to the latest season:
Weeds - Season 1-4
Simple right?
Games:
This is THE simplest submission, so doing it wrong is… no comment!, anyways, as I said this is really simple, if its a PC game just throw in the game title, if its a console game add the game console type suffix, for example, if it was a PC game:
GTA Vice City
If it was a console game:
GTA San Andreas (PS2)
Stream Movies & XXX:
Lately we’ve been accepting streamed movies and XXX clips, the correct way to submit streamed clips is to follow the original category rules, and add (Stream) at the end of the title, for example: (Movies)
- The Happening (2008) (Stream)
Thats it, simple add (Stream) and follow the best practices rules and everything should be good.
Those were the most submissions types that webmasters make mistakes in, for more information on how to submit in the other categories read the Best Practices
Thank you.

Webmasters always contact us via e-mail about ban issues, ratings, general questions..etc it really seems like a simple task, sending an e-mail and waiting for a reply right? well, it seems that the process of sending an e-mail to us (correctly) is some what hard for some webmasters.
We receive lots of e-mails daily, some of them we just don’t know the “who, what, where” because the webmaster only mentioned the issue, without giving the needed information, such as site name, site link..etc, and to make the job even harder on us, even the e-mail address the webmaster uses is not from his domain, it would be gmail, yahoo…!
The correct way to send us an e-mail is as follows:
Message:
////////START//////////
Site Name: Blah Forum
Site Link: blahforum.com
Explain your issue, and give as much details you can, the more you explain that better help you’ll get.
////////END///////////
I hope that with this simple explanation that webmasters will start helping us, to help them.
Thank you.
