I should state more clearly that I am all for checking links for abuse and being dead. My concern is the copyright aspect of it - that opens a can of worms. I know and most people know who read the forums that there is no guarantee that the items are copyright free. But how many members don't read the forums and will only read that the items are approved beforehand? As for creating things for others and having to wait - why?? If you make it for someone send them the direct link to it - or to your site. Or as stated simply post that it's available here. While it may be polite to state that the texture used is a base from someone else that could be seen as infringement if the person viewing the file doesn't realize it's licensed. Also Dmentia has never required or asked for credit. Generally licensed items aren't credited. Example how many web designers use royalty free stock photos? They don't give credit to the photographer either. So I am all for the checks for link abuse - I would love to see less copyright infringement in the freebies - but I don't think this will accomplish it. Except perhaps for DAZ items or top selling merchants. Not due to favortism but because their items are recognized more easily. As for DAZ items Anton already stated "over the past few months we have already gone through most of the Freestuff section" so that apparantly means that DAZ is watching out for itself - which is correct, it is a copyright holder's (or their legal representative) responsibility to validate and inform of copyright infringement.
