One other thing we consider pimping or spam is posting some other source’s content as your own on your blog then posting it here.
For example, if you take a Fox News article and post it on your own blog with no unique commentary then post that here, that is pimping at best and plagiarism at worst.

While I agree with your definition of "pimping", you might want really to tell this to some of the self described “blog pimp” police. I’ve even seen excerpts from blog, blogs with original content that might merely reference a link to another site or article as a matter of reference, and purely original content posted in the section named “Blogs and Personal Chat”, being deemed as “blog pimping” and the posters excoriated and driven off this site by the self appointed blog police. And you know how they are.
