Good news, SU is trying to crack down on commercial content. I wish other sites like Mixx and Propeller would do the same.

StumbleUpon banning several accounts because the users submitted comercial content.

I seem to recall that when I signed up, I was asked why I'm here. Options included: To meet friends Dating and a bunch of other crap I don't remember since it didn't pertain to me. The one I chose was, "I'm here to Stumble". Granted, it probably actually said, "surf the web", or some such cliche' but there you go. I'm here to look at things that you find to be interesting and in return submit some of my own. Basically, I'm here because it turns out that a lot of you people find a lot of cool stuff. I never bought into the whole "friend's list" collection frenzy. To me, it's as silly as collecting pogs. By definition, you should actually get to know someone through some sort of interaction before you can call them your "friend". Even then, there are acquaintances and co-workers. Be humble when you Stumble. Don't self-promote. If other Stumblers happen upon your stuff and agree that it's something everyone on the planet should see, you'll get your reward. Most of us can recognize violations of the TOS (and spirit) of Stumbling. If you don't know what it's all supposed to be about, school is in session and there is no Summer Break.

Good news, at last Stumble starts putting the house in order. Hopefully the days of the self promoting SEO, get quick rich bloggers and self promoting web site crap are nigh..and good fucking riddance From the page: "Regrettably, your account privileges have been suspended due to a breach of our TOS.

From the page: "cleaning out the closet on StumbleUpon I have recently heard news about StumbleUpon banning several accounts because the users submitted comercial content. Here is the message these unfortunate stumblers usually received: Regrettably, your account privileges have been suspended due to a breach of our TOS. I respectfully draw your attention to our Terms, particularly with respect to the clauses which forbid the use of personal accounts for the promotion of a business, product or service, and also with regard to the sending of "spam" messages to other members."

I hadn't heard anything about this. Great news on what Stumble is doing to police itself
