I read your links... it doesn’t say what you say it says. It does state a strong preference not to excerpt. The name calling, confrontational enforcement and general jerk behavior by the blog-police is not endorsed anywhere in those links.

If you repeatedly find yourself assaulted by popups then perhaps you should actually look at the link before you click it. I find it highly annoying to select a topic based on the title, and find the discussion of that topic diluted by self-righteous pimp-police spamming rude remarks.

If you REALLY wanted to discourage blog-pimping, the simple answer would be to let people post the entire content in response to a blog-pimp post. That would remove any incentive to click the link, not ruin the FR conversation and result in a far less confrontational atmosphere here at FR.

No impediment exists to anyone posting the entirety of their own content.

Rude Behavior?

It's not "us"
It's the BLatting OG!

(He gets all riled up when folks pimp for hits.)

Yes - it's very annoying reading the snarks from the Usual Suspects. I like your solution.

Not sure the Usual Suspects are capable of doing a simple cut-n-paste, though. It's more fun to troll, I guess...
