If you are a webmaster, you are responsible for what is on your site, plain and simple. Doesn't matter if you are running scripts or doing it by hand as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who puts their business completely in the hands of a computer will be out of business one way or the other in due time.

*I* agree with you, however, people will use the tools that are available to them without truly realizing the consequences. Have you ever hand-cropped thousands of thumbs? Just asking.

Yep, which is the reason I don't do much site building anymore. Done right, it can be intensely boring, tedious work and you spend long hours doing it even with tools helping. I used to thumb and crop the images, catalog the sets and images by niche Multi niche actually, (redhead:lesbian:strapon:etc), type (softcore, hardcore), whether they were sponsor provided or purchased, 2257 info, etc, on and on.

And this was to be able to put trustworthy automation in place.

But, if you choose to run tgp or even just do a shit load of galleries and free sites, to do it right is a big job and when you decide you are going to do it is when you should have agreed with yourself to do the work.

There is nothing wrong with attemting to automate and make your job easier, however, it does not remove responsibility.

Old saying from my Navy days: You can delegate authority, you cannt delegate responsibility.

I agree, and that is how *I* run MY ship, however I think having had the experience, you can appreciate why someone would allow automation to remove 95% of the tedious labor from the process.. Some of these networks are massive and just cropping thumbs would be a 5 day a week job for someone. It's not an excuse, but I see WHY people leave these things up to automation.
