Listings Dissappearing from Hot Bot

From Gene Zimmer at Zippo Lighters by Smokerstuff on 27 March '98

I had submitted 40 pages to Hot Bot. 3 were on page 2, and more were on page
3. To try to get on page 1 I made up a super spam page filled with
hidden keywords. Dumb? Anyway, the next day all my listings were GONE.
I have emailed them but have gotten no response. Does anyone know whether Hot Bot
penalises for this? Or maybe if Hot Bot has a problem with suddenly dropping
listings? I have done very exact keyword searches which would only show up for my
pages (i.e. company name) and nothing. I have resubmitted a few to see what happens, but still nothing.
Any comments or suggestions?
