No Advertising!

Just thought I'd let every 64digits user know that flashback will NOT tolerate advertising in your blogs. If you do, he'll take down your blog. Repeated offenses will result in flashback removing your blogging privileges altogether!

Want to recruit people to work on a project such as a magazine or game? DON'T FUCKING DO IT HERE!

Want to tell people all about the amazing game you're working hard on? DON'T FUCKING DO IT HERE!

Want to advertise a contest you are having? DON'T FUCKING DO IT HERE!

In fact, this blog should be removed from the front page for advertising such shocking news!

Apologies to flashback, his logic is solid enough. I'm just iffed by mods being super-strict when it comes to advertising. I recently had my signature on a forum removed due to it being an "advertisement". What the fucking hell are signatures for?!

Ah well. Just be careful to have 'real content' in your blog.

I presume this is a joke. Advertising, while annoying, is a key part of, um, lots of stuff.

This post actually made me laugh.

The fact that Flashback, the one who forbid advertising, has done it him self, in some way or another.

Eh? I said no using blogs exclusively for advertising. If there's, you know, actually blog content too, there's no issue.

I see your point, flashback. I suppose people making blog entries solely for advertising doesn't irritate me as much as it does you. Is it really that big a deal? It's not as if half the blogs on the front page are just advertisements.

So report them? I'm not talking about thing that are "check out my cool game that I did X on" blogs, I'm talking about "Join my uber-happy funtime group! We're looking for *yada yada*" - because it's a blog site, not the classifieds. If you're looking for a job, do you read the editorials or the letters to the editor? No. you read the classifieds. In fact, I'm pretty damn sure there's a dozen and a half "GM Classifieds" sites out there, and the Team forum on the GMC to boot.

Regardless, this isn't even the first time this has been enforced.

You could've just said "Yes. To me, a moderator, blogs that are only advertisements are a big deal"

Your overly long response to my question barely answered my question, and indirectly at that.

hmm.. is there anything so wrong about blogging about a game you're working on?

Fine; Just to make you happy, I'll decide not to explain any reasoning at all:

I AM ADMINISTRATOR NO LIKE ADVERTISEMENTS MAKE ONLY BLOG PLOX OR BAND!

@tijitdamijit: No. I *just* said that.
