Now, if the mods don't want to enforce this, so be it.
Tanker, the modorator will have to expand on that definition. Here’s why: Blog sources (from serious bloggers) are really no different from news sources nowadays as they both (should) contain information that is assembled in a unisue format that differs from other available medium. I.E.: Some contain text only, some audio only, some video only and some a combination. Some also contain additional information unique from the others, i.e.: unique commentary and such. It’s difficult to transfer the complexity and creativity of blog context withn a post here, therefore some of us use our blog URL’s instead. We’re talking about ONE extra click. Because of this, the afore mentioned blogs cannot fall under the “spam” catagory. As long as the blogger returns to engage the comments within his newly created thread, then there should be no problem. I can only assume that the moderators remove threads which are “not appropriate” nor newsworthty. As of yet, I still have not heard from any moderators, therfore I’m assuming my view is the correct one. I’ve qualified my comments in( ), so please read them carefully before responding. I await your comments.
“Now, if the mods don’t want to enforce this, so be it.”
Well, nobody, including myself, wants to “get away” with something just because it’s not been caught. Again, I still maintain that as long as it’s a qaulity, timely blog link (since it’s within the blogger catagory) which PROMOTES the conservative cause and additional discussion, then WHERE the information comes from should not be an issue (as long as it’s legit info., that is). Why would you or anyone else discourage this (based on the specific conditions noted above)?
