i recently made a blog entry and it was closed, i was given an official warning and was quite taken aback.

in response to my rather harsh "warning", i wrote (approximately):



sorry i thought "blog" meant "blog" not "provide TL with stimulating discussion blog"

infact a few days ago i thought of using my TL Blog to be purely for myself to log my own fitness routine thruoghout the weeks. i considered "hang on, this will be public, and no one wants to read my 5 line statements about how much ive worked out today or tomorrow". i thus refrained

HOWEVER there are no rules (that i can see) about tl blog and how it should be used.

"blog" to most people means "personal diary and i can say whatever dumb trivial shit i like". you NEED some sort of statement SOMEWHERE saying that tl blogs need to commit to a certain standard, otherwise who the fuck knows?

in my blog, i posted (quite politely and adequately) asking for help finding a song name. this has been done 1000 other times, in blogs and in the general forum. my blog was closed and i was given official warnings about my conduct.

i DO feel that i have been mistreated, misunderstood, or mis-something, in this respect.

thanks for reading and continuing your efforts as an effective and empathetic mod

Your warning was based on your overall posting, and I have sent you a lengthy PM explaining why. Your warning was not harsh, but was standard fare here.

Your blog was closed as a reflection of your overall posting behaviour, and because you can easily find that information via google. Your unnecessary blog (which did not even contain the clip of video in question) pushes down other, richer, more deserving content. Also, the blog was titled in all CAPS, which is a direct violation of the site rules, which are posted.

Blogs are periodically policed by mods. A good rule of thumb is to show some pride in space that has been provided especially for you. The rules are not posted, because there are none. They are completely up to the whim of the moderator browsing them. Chill is espeically well known for closing blogs that, well, suck.
