What's up with that? Who cares if people promote their blogs on there. You guys remind me of the kid in primary school that was always taddling to the teacher.

Snitches make me uneasy :)

You're one of the spammers, right?
It's very poor form to heist other people's work and palm it off, without any additional commentary or content, merely to fulfill a meagre ego trip and to feed tepid hopes of adsense millionairedom.
It's shitty behaviour, end of.
You like an artist or a designer - link their site direct. It's that simple.

- I applaud you, Detritus, for the use of this sentence: "merely to fulfill a meagre ego trip and to feed tepid hopes of adsense millionairedom."eating_tv

Well said, detritus.
Although, the culture on QBN is such that some users exist mainly to flame others and/or a post's content (ie: "timeline", "last year called and they want their post back") and will do so regardless of whether or not someone links to their blog. So in that sense, I don't think it matters either way.

half of them don't care about QBN or sharing good work they're just after the hits. If you legitimately want to promote your blog you should diversify your tactics a little.

I'm not a spammer but I do promote my blog in the public choice from time to time. Do I make money from my blog? No. I use it as a way to communicate with people (Mostly clients) interested in learning how I tick. So every now and then I link to my blog on here. I don't see why that's soooo evil. And sice we're judging people here. I take it you were one of the school yard taddle tales that got daily wedgies and are now out for some internet thug revenge.
- Are you still at school?detritus
- No. I'm just a live and let live kinda dude.Glitterati_Duane
- Spammers don't effect my life so I don't care what they do.Glitterati_Duane
- That said. I guess I shouldn't care what you do either.Glitterati_Duane

Spammers suck. I get it. The way to beat them is ignore them.
- no .. the way to beat them is to remove their accounts.lukus_W

I believe a Public Choice Police force is necessary.
If you're not adding meaningful value to QBN, and you're simply adding links to build your Google page-rank .. you don't deserve to post here.
- Isn't that what system administrators decide?Glitterati_Duane
- Why do you think they 'SysAdmins' created the 'Spammer Report Hotline' thread?detritus
- Yeah ok. But I'm talking about Public ChoiceGlitterati_Duane

The 'don't rat on a bro' line is disingenuous posturing.

Your blog is pish. I haven't a clue why anyone would want to read it, maybe if they knew you personally.

it badly needs moderation to be useful again imo. way too many made for adscam blog-networks there. negates the whole idea of public choice obviously. the qoob is very well aware about this though, apparently they want it this way. god knows why, I sure don´t get it.

- that's a cool moose.akrok
- i must say that moose is pretty cool.Dodecahedron
- It's cool. I considered it. I didn't post it in the public choice either though.Glitterati_Duane
- It was pretty cool I wasn't getting too close thoughGlitterati_Duane
- I wouldn't get any closer than that, they're mean!callitropsis

i guess we're sick of seeing links to your blog over and over. it's nice to have a blog, but it's nicer to post original content than to reblog shit.
