commercial blog/rss spam

[Nina Stepford]

perhaps this is not the place to discuss this, but it seemed a better option than derailing a current blog post.

in the past 24 hours there have been a dozen commercial blogs posted in 'featured news'. blogs that consist of little more than fluff with links to third-party blogs running banner-exchanges the like.

please stop spamming 'featured news'. many of the forbidden third-party sites import the featured news rss to keep people informed of things that may actually matter, such as marketplace problems, restarts, maintenance, etc.

these 'fashion expert' bloggings are nothing more than third-party spam. considering i have been banned more than once for linking to a third-party forum (even banned once for having a link in my sig!) with some nebulous 'products and services' policy being the supposed reason, this is a bit much.

How can it be considered third-party spam when it's been posted by LL?  I do agree it's spam, just not third-party. 

Of course, I would have never paid attention to it if you hadn't have brought it up here, so pat yourself on the back for helping spread the word.

Hi Nina!

What you reference is a LL-sponsored thing.  Several fashion 'experts' have been invited to write a blog during their appointed day and take questions on the forum.  It will end soon.
