I have never booted a blogger because of the material they posted, but there is a first time for everything.
Some European rag posted some crazy crap about a kill order on Ron Paul made by Obama.
It was obvious bullshit and anyone should know it. Smiller posted it as a link, which was mistake.
She didn't let people that she knew it was a parity. She didn't say look what some dumb rags in Europe are saying. She just put up a link, and if you didn't know better you would have thought that she actually believed what they were saying.
WELL SHE DIDN'T AND I SURE AS HELL DON'T, but there are nuts and dimwits that might. So I deleted the post.
People, you can't post crap like that on CBC, or the FBI will come haul you off.
I know she was just passing along a joke but still. I have enough to worry about without having to worry about what people are posting. Or if they, because of lack of judgment, are going to get themselves or me in trouble.
I have to show zero tolerance and remove her blogging rights.
I love Susan but I feel like this has to be done.
Let me know what you think.
This a good time to go over the site rules
I don't like rules, so we very few rules here. But with that said, I had better make sure we are on the same page before granting you blogger rights
1. Limited Pimping - Teasers back to your blog are welcome, as long as a reasonable amount of text is posted (more than a short sentence) --AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH!
We want you to gain hits to your blog, but we want everyone else too as well. In order for that to happen this site has to be interesting enough to visit. A site full of postings with one-liners to your personal blog is very very uninteresting.
If you are just posting the linked titles of your latest blog postings you are not thinking of the others here, and the hits that you are receiving will soon dry up as people leave CBC for a site that is worth visiting.
You will be warned a few times by me adding the rules in your posting's comment box, then I will boot you from the site.
2. Not bitching - This is not a promise that you are going to gain 1,000,000 hits to your personal site; it will increase your audience, but how many people like your material will mostly determine success.
3. No wasting my time - I have a backlog of people wanting to post, so if you plan on posting once or twice and then leaving, don't bother. A lot of people will read your postings, but not that many are going to follow the link to your site. I will save us both some time, and will add someone else who actually wants to blog here.
4. NO Plagiarizing - Just a reminder, under "fair use" we can use short snips of someone's work as long as it attributed to them. Anything else has to be rewritten and paraphrased by you.
5. No Jail time - I also ask that you use common sense when posting. That means; no porn, profanity, threats (to the government, it's officials or anyone else for that matter), hate speech, racist remarks or anything otherwise illegal or in poor taste. If this rule is broken the posting will be deleted, your blogger rights removed, and your blog taken down off this site.
6. No more than 3 posts a day - We have had people in the past fill up the blog with post after post, until all we had to offer was a page full of links to their blog. Do you think that a lot of people would want to visit this site if we allowed that to happen?
I hate to be all bitchy here, but I have tried running the site without rules and it don't work.
If you see anything posted on this site that falls under one of the categories please let me know.
