DISCLAIMER + DETAILS 2 (the original was somehow deleted...
Created •
IT'S TIME FOR THE BRIGHTLY COLORED, ATTENTION GRABBING HEADER! YAY! READ THIS BEFORE GOING ON YOUR WAY.
Since I've been receiving some comments about my bad disposition and the disclaimer I previously had in my description, I'll leave this as a sticky just so you guys understand my point better and I don't have to repeat myself.
Normally, I am rather kind to other people. I appreciate people who want to discuss stuff in a civilized manner and love a nice chat. But SU's getting worse by the minute, filled with spam and a subpar user base (which wasn't the case not too long ago). I'll ignore, maybe thumb down, or even report and block whoever:
- Promotes his own site or product shamelessly or by illegal means such as bots or exchanges (see SU's Terms Of Service, it's clearly stated there).
- Befriends people en masse, because I take the word "friend" kind of seriously. Friend requests coming from people I haven't had any contact with, be it message exchanges or mutual subscription, will be rejected immediately. Any friend request will be thought about for a long time. I'll be checking your site often to see what kind of user you are. Sending messages urging me to accept your friend request is not recommended.
- Sends "thank you for visiting" messages. I stumbled upon your page, I didn't get there on purpose, no need to thank me. If what you want is to strike conversation, read my blog and see what I like to talk about. Easy!
- Fills his blog with glitter gifs. Go waste bandwidth somewhere else. Also OH GOD MY EYES WHY?
- Just quotes pages and doesn't write REAL comments. It's a good indicator of you being a spammer. Comments are supposed to generate dialogue and interaction, not repeating what we already read.
- Feels the need to impose his religious point of view, be it theist or atheist. Having a different perspective doesn't give you the right to be disrespectful or totally obnoxious toward other people. Respect differences.
- Submits stuff to StumbleUpon under the wrong categories. Yeah, it is that important. Do you know how much stuff about paganism or Ireland tourism do I find under "Celtic Music"? Or how many pseudoscience stuff I get under "Science/Tech"? Let's not even talk about the random crap I get under every single category available. I'll thumb down every single person who has this awful habit. DON'T-DO-IT.
Hopefully this is clear enough for most people, but just in case you don't: my patience has a hair trigger. Now enjoy the rest of my blog (or whatever, I thumb stuff up so rarely now...).
