Quit Spamming the Damn Blogs!
Quit Spamming the Damn Blogs! Taking a break from my regularly televised programming for this important Public Service Announcement: Here’s the deal. If I don’t like your blog, I don’t have to read it. I get it. I don’t read yours, you don’t read mine, and everyone moves on with their lives. I’m cool with that. However, when you<b> spam </font></b>the blog list incessantly, you push other bloggers down into oblivion with your crap posts. Now you’re affecting my posts, and I am NOT cool with that. In the past 12 hours, there were: These people had a LOT on their minds that they wanted to share, clearly. However, guess how many comments the posters decided to respond to … ... come on, take a wild shot in the dark ... Yup, you guessed it, a grand total of ZERO responses. A LOT of people who actually care about their topic or audience, who took the time to write something that required thought, got bumped so far down the Recent Posts lists into obscurity because someone felt their stuff is more important and thus spammed the blogs with random topics that they themselves don’t care about. No, sorry, but I’m calling you guys out on this. They’re blasting as many posts as they can because they enjoy seeing their name up there as much as possible. It is pure vanity. At least grow a pair of balls and say it. You want your praise and accolades for being a Top Blogger? Here it is … “Who’s a pretty girl!!! Yes, you are, you’re the pretty girl!!!” It never ceases to amaze me how little content many of the Top Bloggers manage to produce. They never discuss anything. They never produce any original or unique ideas. Their insights are rather pedestrian and mundane, if they share a thought at all. Too much of it is random internet porn or selfie smut porn. They didn’t get ranked as a Top Blogger based on their intellect or the quality of their posts, they got there by spamming the damn blogs with post after post until that’s all anyone saw. The trivial comments those posts generated of little more than “Nice” and “Good job” multiplied by the sheer volume of all those ridiculous posts eventually added up to something. Do that for enough years, and that’s how you earn a spot as a Top Blogger. Just, please, don’t think that’s an accomplishment worthy of praise. This is the crap that chases away the thoughtful bloggers. And then we wonder why blogland is in decline. For clarity: Top Blogger ≠ Quality Blogger Top Blogger ≠ Respected Blogger Who does this post apply to? If you can’t up your game and do better, it applies to you. Disclaimer: This does NOT apply to those who, upon occasion, have a lot to say and blog multiple times a day on THOUGHTFUL posts. Those bloggers always have the class to space their stuff out so as not to bombard the site with their self-centered nonsense. They also engage and participate with the community. /end angry rant |

@ Venus, No Worries...And let's hope we see some changes.

Hi Venus, I am as directed as you are, if I had a problem with anything that you tell me or said. I would let my position known very quickly. if is important I would approached it right on. I don't walk around with fear or around the bushes. But I was not talking to you or about you. I was clearly and directly speaking of the "jersey shore lady" that did that to her that day when the incident took place. not you. Furthermore. I took this, one step further, base on what you originally said in your post. not about what people post. just the part about spamming. I did spoke to the site this week about spamming. I express a few pointers in relation to that. asking to see if anything can be done or how that can be fix or prevent. will see what happen, that if anything happen. I just wish people will stop that on their own with out the site getting involved, cause is not even need it, is all about "common courtesy" when we all share the same space.

I know that one day I posted about 13 women in history but I had no idea they would all go up one right after the other on International Women's Day ( all 13 of them) so I guess I spammed by ignorance. THAT won't happen again I can assure you. And by the same token most of us have something we share on a daily basis- mine lately seems to be foodie days with fun facts and often a recipe. And I have days when I dont come on here at all. BUT I also understood completely what you were posting about and congratulate you on being so succinct. Some of us do work on issues that are happening in the blogs. I know that for a fact. cause I am one of them. I just prefer to work with out so much noise. and creating fuzz while trying to fix something. especially cause I don't want anyone claiming or feeling that I am trying to run the blogs. cause that is what they will say very quickly. instead of saying thank you. that is why I rather talk out privately. and if things don't get better I escalated the issue if need it.

V, I totally understand. It isn't about a particular blogger or content, so much as it is about the practice of dumping multiple posts too close together and driving all other content off the most recent list, thus putting other bloggers at the disadvantage of having a post on the list for say, 20 minutes, instead of a few hours. Since the most recent list is where most people pick up new readers, watchers, and commenters, common courtesy would dictate that people avoid doing this. It is also nice if the bloggers who actually interact with the community and put a lot of thought into their blog posts and respond to most, if not all of their comments, could be on the most recent list longer than people who just seem to dump posts that take less thought and no responses to their comments, and dump so many posts so close together... Here is a thought- I did not know about the most recent list for almost a year into blogging here. Maybe a few of us writing about it might alert people to this fact?

Starting or allowing arguments that escalate into threats, harassment, or violence. Feel free to argue and defend your opinions, but keep it civil. Couldn't help but take a peek

My apologies Venus, as I stated in an earlier share, I don't do this stuff often and I obviously don't know the protocol. But you must know that I was not attacking you, you took it that way. If you read what I wrote it says; if I wrote like that, meaning if I wrote on your blog about someone else without saying it to them. and I didn't tell you to do anything, I only explained myself. Anyway, you've done it. I'm through, if that's what blogging is, you can have it. That's been the only thing keeping me hanging around. It's for sure been hard to do anything on this site, especially get laid and from all that I've learned paying isn't worth the price it either. Thank you for this conversation, I have been spending way too much time at this and now I won't. No hard feelings here, and again I'm sorry

OK, now that I have read all your responses to the other comments and re-read your post, I have to admit that I do agree with you. I also agree with your suggestion that agreeing means that the ones that can, should also complain about this. I will be thinking on how to do this in an effective yet in my style kind of way. Thank you for your thought provoking post. Look for my post on this same subject in the future and is it ok if I pimp this post inside of mine. If it is not okay, I will not name you or this post, if it is okay, then I will provide a link to it within that post and name you. Either way, have a great weekend, kk The observant make the best lovers, I may not do right, but I do write, I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life, Kitkat Come check out my blog KItkat1415 check out this post by me Adventures In Body Grooming #39 April Topic Link: What Lies Beneath If April Showers Oh Bloody Hell What Kind Of Weather Turns Me On Bloggers Symposium 40

I may be in the minority but it doesn't mean that I am gonna change my ways and talk about someone behind their back. Hell, that's the reason we are all so self fucking important now. We each have our own phone/communicator. I don't even have to talk to you, I can text or let you leave me a message or block you altogether.I'm in control. Granted there are some very good uses for those things, but I find it very immature to act like that in a public forum and I believe this kind of behavior is a sign of a spiritual shortcoming and I have no use for those people. If I were to post my opinion of what someone else posted without saying it to them personally, I would be saying that I am the editor of this site, I and I alone know what you all should be saying on here. That's not so. The fact is; IT DOES NOT COST A FUCKING CENT TO LISTEN! you don't have to like it

Hey hey hey. I appreciate your blogs love. I hardly ever look at blogs because they are so vacuous more often than not but you're legit and no matter what the popular consensus or who is looking at what, you are enjoying posting and you are trying to bring something into the lives of others. That's all that's important imo. What other people eat doesn't make me shit. And so with growing frequency I'm trying to realize that not having a fuck to give brings me more serenity than not. And look on the bright side you could be a middle aged skinny dude with a lazy eye and an average endowment just wanting a piece of ass in a sea of mind boggling size. You probably can't turn around without shooting down a dozen guys like me..... Love ya " The answer is there. But there is not a fixed position" my blog

I don't spend a lot of time at this blogging stuff, but I do enjoy some of those controversial topics, by those like has been said; take the time to present an idea or a thought. Perhaps a situation or an experience. More than just jabber. My problem is when I do respond to some of those blog's in a controversial way, I have been blocked because that person only wanted to hear what they wanted to hear??? Go talk to yourself in the mirror please, I don't want to listen if you don't want to hear what I have to say about your blog. I thought that's what blogging was???

Hm, I feel like weighing in... Generally speaking, I post once - twice a day. I write something. But that is because I am a writer and I research sexual things, so this is the appropriate place for it. I have been holding back, but there are times that I post 6 times in a day and it is spread out (over 12 hours) and usually, I don't have more than two on the list at a time, and usually just one. I know you aren't talking to me. So here is where, while I agree with you that posts get buried, I tend to go on and look for interesting titles. I skip the "redhead/cameltoe/ebony skinny/ ebony BBW/ upskirt" posts. I look for writers that I haven't seen before. I look on the new bloggers list, sometimes. I have said that this crazy place is big enough and varied enough to appeal to everyone. So I tend to forgive the multiple posts with the same titles all the time because I kind of feel that censoring people doesn't work. The last time someone complained, one of those bloggers got his feelings hurt and complained on his blog, if you don't like it, just ignore it. He is disabled and this is one way that he passes the time and gets his ego stroked and gets a little happiness from it. I do get what you are saying. I don't know if I would write about this on my blog because, again, I am not for censoring from the site. And no, I am pretty sure 4 is not the limit. As poco pointed out, she had 13 one time. I have had 6 over a 12 hour period. That people should self-censor is evident. That those people would object to hearing that people are calling them out on it, is also evident. I am not into hurting people's feelings unnecessarily. And as I pointed out, we have no idea why these people, every single day, are posting so many times and all about the same thing. That there may be an illness involved, some mental issue, or just wanting an ego stroke that they get no where else... Well, I don't know what to say. The comments about "there are cliques that only comment on some blogs" really? I have seen no evidence of that. I see some commenters regularly for a while, and then they disappear, and then they reappear a year later or months later. Sometimes I see them commenting on other blogs and not mine and I think "well self, apparently you are not writing anything interesting to THAT person. How important is it that THAT person come back?" Sometimes that spurs me to write something for that person, and sometimes it doesn't. I will admit that I mostly write for myself. If that gets a comment or not, is not relative. I write because I must. This was an excellent post and I will have to see how I can address it. hm, kk The observant make the best lovers, I may not do right, but I do write, I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life, Kitkat Come check out my blog KItkat1415 check out this post by me Adventures In Body Grooming #39 April Topic Link: What Lies Beneath If April Showers Oh Bloody Hell What Kind Of Weather Turns Me On Bloggers Symposium 40

Thank you for being the one to point out with out fear of reprisal what the Top Blogger should be preaching. Very few bloggers here will use their platform to critique for fear of losing comments on their blog. It seems to me that certain groups have formed cliques here also to comment on certain blogs only. What if only 1 comment on a blog per month would be counted. What if only 1 blog post a day. OMG. No one would want to give a fake comment or post 10 times a day if it did not count for blog points.

Like someone else said, after a while you kinda know what posts may interest you, and those other ones, when you just scroll past. I am not defending anyone here, but everyone does what they like, unfortunate that it may be to others. It means having to go back for at least for a couple of pages, and that is if you visit every day. 2-3 day gaps, would mean you would need all day to catch up! Then there is the different view, that of 'demand and supply' If there is demand, ie, never replied repeated enlighting comments like 'niiiiiiceeee', 'I fuck that', etc, who is responsible for giving attention to those seeking it, if that is what they do. And who gives a flying hoot about who is on the top list or not? I blog for me. There were times in here, in the far past when the page would be full with posts like, 'OMG' for title, and 'I burned the toast', for content. repeated a few times from the same posters. For this addicted blogs lover, ( me ) I just grin and bear it. We are all free to do as we please. Bloggers I like, I follow, so I dont have to turn the internet upside down to find their latest posts. For my few viewers, I try to keep them captured! I have some spare net if you want, it's very strong lol. When I am done with that and go browsing the rest, the pointer just goes on automatic, and somehow scrolls past, after just 3 months!!!! I love smart technology!

Oh this is great some of it I was.. at it because it's so true and then there was some things that I have to say that some of us bloggers do original things maybe not every day but at least once a week. I would be doing them daily if I didn't have writers block. Sometimes we just do fun things to amuse others as well. For me I can't write a great blog unless it's something I have lived as I am sure other bloggers can identify with that. This was a great blog, well stated!!!

This has made me start thinking about the fact that I'm so used to seeing the repeat posts everyday, that I just zone past them. If I wanted to look at porn, I would be on a porn site, so those post just don't register in my brain. I browse the blogs for the interesting things that some have to say (you and a few others consistently post things that make for intelligent reads.) I will usually only post once per day, and sometimes that becomes once every couple of days. I'm of the mind that if I don't have anything to truly add to the world, then I keep my mouth shut. Also, being a "top blogger" has never struck me as a goal to shoot for. It's not like that's a title that I can put on my resume...

Some bloggers are popular and need 1 post a day or several a week. Others need 5 to 10 to get on the board. Is that not the ultimate goal. Once they get there, copy and paste is the easiest way to stay their unless your a drama queen. Being creative takes a lot of thought. No one looks at the bloggers un.der 15 on the board unless it's their watchers or their group. It's an attention board not a blog board

I know that one day I posted about 13 women in history but I had no idea they would all go up one right after the other on International Women's Day ( all 13 of them) so I guess I spammed by ignorance. THAT won't happen again I can assure you. And by the same token most of us have something we share on a daily basis- mine lately seems to be foodie days with fun facts and often a recipe.

Hahahaha, some of the things you said are funny but true. I am sure we all can take a little bit from here. I take my piece of the pie from here cause I am not known for being intellectual, I am known for my sucky sucky ...But is ok, too difficult for me to go that route being that English is not my first language. that is also why most times I won't read or participate long posts with lost of writing. cause it takes me too long and when they use deep words, I have no idea what they talk about. and it does make me feel as if I am at the library ...and obviously not everyone comes here to read. I tho your comment about the "porn shortage" was hilarious. but as you said in the beginning. I don't really judge by what people post, everyone is different and everyone will post what they want. no one in here blogs perfect. if I don't like what they usually post. I just don't visit or comment their post. same as what I expect from others to do with mine, they don't like it, well good, they can stayed out. they won't be miss or hurt my feelings. that is the way it goes. Now, about spamming the blogs, that is just insensitive of the people that do that. I totally agree on that, I see one guy that everyone time he post one, you have to wait to post, to see have many more he is gonna throw at once. that is just simply ridiculous, is not need it. I usually check to see if he is done posting before I post, wait for him to finish, then give about extra 30 minutes to be safe, if I see he stop, I post, and sometimes as soon as click send, here he goes again, I'm like motherfucker But again, at the end of the day, everyone is different, we cannot all be writers, readers, porn collectors, selfie post, ass post, the drama posters, sucky sucky post or intellectual post. but that is the beauty of it. we all blog different but NO ONE blogs perfect, what is good to me won't be seen as good by you and vice versa. so I don't care who post what as long they don't spammed the board with post after post, cause that actually affect others and affects the flow of the board. Now, who is the pretty girl? ...Have a good day!!!
| |||

so so true. Pretty sure I know who the dude is with the 10 posts, as he regularly has 4 posts on the recent list most of the time when I log in. And they are all about the same thing every damn day. Who cares???? I rarely see anything on the recent lit anymore that I want to read, as it is filled with the same crap everyday ... peoples daily pics of the same shit. Nothing in depth. Nothing educational or fun or enlightening. No wonder blogland is in decline!
| |||
|
I know at times I have spat out several posts in a short period. Sometimes there I have more then one idea that has been simmering and I financially got around to trying to type it. The people who repeatedly just cut and paste porn I don't get. Your have come up with a interesting well written post something that is truely lacking around here these days. There you go That's all and none of it tragic.
