I mean for someone whos been here for 4 years and has 15k posts, you would think I would have at least minimum notability. Most of my blogs are pretty good, and I think if I put in the effort to provide good answers, it could produce a good thread. But the thread was closed before I even had a chance to respond. I could see if all of the blogs of this type were closed, but when mine gets insta-closed and people with a couple thousand posts have theirs remain open, its kinda weird. | ||

For attention whoring threads in the future: - Give some background about who you are (see http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/ for examples of successful attention whoring threads) - Stick the fuck around. If you're going to say "hey everyone look at me!", at least be there when people look. It's common courtesy. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=111028¤tpage=2 | ||

In addition, my OP had just as much content as a standard ask blog. It doesnt make a lot of sense to compare it to IAmA, since that involves introducing a specific facet of your life to a crowd that has no idea who you are. I don't think its realistic to expect that same approach to work here. I mean I'm not pissed off I got a sarcastic response about the close, I just dont think there was a valid reason for it to be closed in the first place. | ||

I'll start off with something that sounds contradictory to me making this post: but I don't care that it was closed. It wasn't a great thread or a question that a lot of people can't answer in a funny way, so I would have been fine with it being closed on those grounds. My question has more to do with the response to "Blog It". I find the threads that are most interesting (outside of SC related) are ones where people share personal experiences or tell anecdotes; not debate politics or make small comments related to a news story. I doubt I'm alone in this thought. I don't want to make the impression that I'm posting threads simply to tell a story and have people respond to it, but rather I'm looking for the stories of others that will truly be interesting or entertaining. I usually only post mine as a segue into the topic and to give an idea of the type of responses that would usually be interesting. I'm rambling a bit, so I'll get to the point: In order to prevent future threads being closed under the "blog it" suggestion, what can I honestly do or am I shit out of luck and those types of threads have, for some reason, no place around here in some people's minds? | ||

If those type of threads are honestly just going to be locked the majority of the time, then I would blog it, otherwise the more active part of the forum to get the most responses is generally where I'd want to post it. | ||
