The Blog Feature

Submitted by Hooded Stranger on Tue, 2011-11-01 18:46

Just a gentle reminder that the Blog feature is not for posting poems. I have posted below the section of the Community Guidelines that explains this:

"The blog feature is not a separate entity for you to post poems in order to beat the imposed daily limit. Poems should be posted only in the stream or in a workshop.

The use of the blog feature is for you to post interesting articles and engage others in conversation. There are thousands of things you can do with a blog, but here at Neopoet, we ask, that you refrain from using your blog to post your poetry."

The link to the Community Guidelines can be found here:

Kind regards,

Well said Dan....though at the moment there aren't that many posts in the stream..this is a good pro active step to ensure that once Neopoet goes public it would be necessary for everyone to follow the guidelines ..just like traffic lights are meant to regulate the traffic to avoid traffic jams ...which is for everyone's benifit...

Brittle, cat & raj,

thanks for your responses - we have all used Blogs for poems in the past, so it is just a reminder to everyone that we have changed the use of Blogs.

There will be the odd few that slip through as many of us have got into the habit of it.

The main purpose is for when we launch, that all members stick to the guidelines.

Thanks for your comments,

regards,

HS
