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.
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.
How are they?
There are some here that see red when someone posts an article etc in the bloggers section.
Some of them also hate twitter, facebook and the new media overall.
These FreeperBeaters pride themselves in hijacking threads they don't deem worthy of being posted on Free Republic.
Some of them even curtailed a fundraiser for the troops by a national organization by belitttling legitimate bloggers and chasing them away.
When a new Breitbart comes along, you can be sure they will do all they can to shut him/her down and chase them away from Free Republic like they did Andrew.
Psy no attention to the FreeperBeaters and good luck posting on the bloggers forum!
