Your blog was closed because it was one of the following: - Mistaken as your diary (ie no one else cares) - Not funny when intended to be - A copy / paste that isn't extremely funny - Going to generate zero discussion / helps no one - A request that was missing the majority of information to let people help you All the above follow a common theme: they have zero thought put in. Stop posting everything that crosses your mind into a blog. Please! In the mean time: | ||

Besides: "Mistaken as your diary (ie no one else cares)" A blog is mostly used for spilling your thoughts about stuff and that could definitely be things that happened to you. Blogs over at liquidpoker are almost always about how their day at poker went and it's definitely interesting for others to read while it is kind of diary-style. "Going to generate zero discussion / helps no one" Who cares, it's their blog. As far as I know when people don't care they don't read it/don't comment on it so whateverrr. | ||

Edit: Seriously though, someone explain to me why blogs were added. I hear they were originally for blizzcon/etc but come on, what does hearing about someone's relationship problems add to the site? Is that why you come to teamliquid, to read this shit? | ||

look at mani's blog: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=53908 one of these guys with a closed blog post would make this blog for mani: hi there was a big sale today. when big sales happen i guess people go crazy and they get violent and stuff. i had it all planned out so i just ran in and got my stuff and ran out cuz im awesome. i saved like 12 bucks. share your shopping stories in this blog! there are many examples of how you can make any topic amazing or any topic horrible. i dont see what's wrong with having moderators get rid of the horrible. as a reader, i appreciate it as a blogger, if you feel the topic isn't important enough to spend time putting effort into the blog, then don't blog. if it's worth the effort, then give it the effort. if you're posting something inherently low effort, like a copy/paste, you better know your audience damn well. low post count users doing that shit have a very low success rate. | ||

The blog section is not your notepad to spew whatever you want. | ||

as usual, my philosophy always leans toward the purpose of a forum being user-generated content, not a place for users to screw around. and thus the purpose of moderation is to guide the user-generated content in the right direction. pruning bullshit horrible posts is a fundamental part of that. it's understandable if they set aside blogs as unmoderated, but if chill is volunteering to mod it, because he sees the potential in great blogs (and how can you not if you've read tl.net's good blogs), then it's silly to stop him | ||
