excessive adult, inflammatory or abusive content
To what extent do you consider a site as an excessive adult, inflammatory or with abusive content?
Why no direct links? Might attract more sites that way
This is a great site, and a useful resource for people deciding whether to use Drupal for their project or looking for ideas on what our favorite can do.
But why is it set up so that neither the teasers nor the full listings have a direct link to the site? Instead, everything, even the "go" link seems to go through a filter, like this: http://www.drupalsites.net/links/goto/1144/1105/links_weblink
Doing it this way means there isn't as much incentive for site publishers to list themselves. All smart publishers list in DMOZ, mainly for the SEO benefit. And I bet that if you allowed direct links, you'd get a lot more submissions too. (Yes, some will be spammy, but you've got a nice voting system built in to help push those to the bottom.)
Would you consider making, for example, the screenshot in the teaser and the "go" button in the node into direct links?
drupalsites.net is not
drupalsites.net is not supposed to be a link farm or SEO tool. It is a showcase of nice Drupal powered sites where the quantity (read zillions of bluemarine / garland themed sites) is not the main target.
The redirect type links helps to get statistics for clicks. So we can build some views and blocks with the most active submissions. But please feel free to include any relevant direct links in your site description.
The statistics system and link functionality may be changed with migration to Drupal 6. But it will remain intact before that for sure.
SEO friendly click tracking
Take a look at the External Link Popularity module for SEO friendly click statistics. It allows you to track clicks without using redirection.
excessive adult content
What are the tolerances for excessive adult or inappropriate content. i.e. how far can one push the boundaries with a website before it becomes unlistable or inappropriate?
Adult sites
From the FAQ:
"However, it is not in our policy to list sites with excessive adult, inflammatory or abusive content."
But you DO have an "Adult/Escort" category.
Had a couple of my sites listed, but since one of my customers found her site listed next to "Pornsaints" and had a fit, I've taken them both off.
note about excessive
The DrupalSites.net's aim is to represent *different* Drupal powered sites. The other side of this idea is to be absolutely neutral to content, country, language or religious matters. So the note about exactly excessive this and that tells it all.
But anyway. If you do not like to be close to somebody in the list there are few ways though:
1. You can wait for few more posts before submit your own.
2. Submit your site now and contact the admin. We'll do the best to move you to another position.
Pornsaints.org has not adult
Pornsaints.org has not adult content or nudity inside. Please, look better before judging...
Civicspace vesus Drupal
I am new to website design. The organization I work for has a site that was created using Civic space. I understand that civicspace is a derivation of Drupal and that many Drupal modules function with Civicspace. Is this accurate, and if so, can I list our site on the Drupalsites.net
Yes of course. Civicspace is
Yes of course. Civicspace is absolutely fine.
