Forum:Notice Regarding Blogs

Forums: Index → General Discussion → Notice Regarding Blogs

Hey there, it's Haeg with another wiki announcement: We would like to remind all users that Blog posts are not forums, they aren't just for one sentence topics and the like. If your blog post is under two paragraphs, is designed to purely just get feedback, or doesn't have a thesis/purpose, it belongs in the forums; by using the blogs in the aforementioned way, it is cluttering up the logs and making it difficult for users to view activity on the main wiki. If this issue continues, we may have to resort to moving offending blogs to the forums or deleting them.

Please understand we aren't saying we don't care about the ideas you have to share, it is simply that we are trying to keep the wiki logs easy for our users to navigate. --Haegemonia^(talk) 01:18, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

ADDENDUM: As a general rule, it's a good idea to check out this page if you are uncertain whether or not you are following the blog guidelines. --Haegemonia^(talk) 21:18, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

I thought both forum and blog updates get mentioned in the logs. If that is true, then there is no difference where users post. Correct me if I'm wrong. Komodo Saurian ^[talk] 21:53, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

True, but forum posts display significantly less text when users are using "wiki activity" in the logs; what's more, forums tend to be more conducive to the types of posts I described above. --Haegemonia^(talk) 22:15, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
