Yeah, I already went a few rounds with him back a couple weeks ago over my ClashDaily.com columns. Fact is, he can’t tell for certain if someone is “pimping a blog” because that’s what he accused me of doing, and I wasn’t. But based on what I was doing, I’m sure it fell right into the category of the exact behavior that someone pimping a blog would do. But I was completely frank about my motives for trying to drive readers there—I really need to see lots of “likes” and “shares” etc. on the site page itself to know and feel that what I’m writing is being read, appreciated, stacks up well against the traffic the other writers are getting, etc. I’ve since been posting the whole column, instead of an excerpt. I’ve yet to understand why people get belligerent over what category a post is put into, though.
OK. Here is why.
ABUSE.
Example: The Category - BREAKING NEWS.
It is the TOP category, so we have posters who will put something in BREAKING NEWS that is just a repeat of an old story. Much of the time they do this only because it's NEWS to them, and they don't bother to do a SEARCH to find out if it's new or not. There is no point in having a BREAKING NEWS CATEGORY if the threads listed aren't BREAKING NEWS.
Another example: RELIGION.
I think that one is self explanatory.
Does that help?
