The pop-up's and advertisement horror. It really looks like everyone wants to make a quick buck and they forgot about the Internet's real intention and purpose, which is to store information. Not reading the criteria. Some applicants believe that all award programs use the same criteria, and this drives evaluators completely nuts. They would have won the award if they had paid attention to the criteria.
People seem to forget there is more than just one type of computer or browser.
Using excessive Java, technology or rare plug-ins in combination with jiving gif animations is a recipe for problems on some computers and browsers. People who evaluate the evaluator's website after being awarded a colour or level of award they don't like. This is extremely unfair to say the least. I met my best friend this way, and I believe others will do so in the future. Effort being made on already awarded sites.
