ITS TIME TO CLEAN UP THIS BLOG AREA & RETURN IT TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE

[nonya]

As many of the original members of SOE have noticed, the BLOG area has turned into an infiltrated and repetitive amount of spiritual/new age blogs. If this isnt bad enough, these blogs are usually accompanied by enormous images that inevitably squeeze out other members postings to the next page, sometimes not even seeing a 24 hour period of viewing. When asked to minimize the images or move them to the appropriate section "Photos", most of the newer members resort by making their images larger and/or ignoring such requests. Its mind boggling that people who are so called enlightened can be so blatanly inconsiderate of other members of this site.

There has also been a rash of "tagging" such blogs with tags that have nothing to do with the content of the blog itself which is another display of baiting people to read their information.  Requests have been made to certain individuals on this site to move their blogs to specified groups and not clutter the blog space. For the past year that has been defiantly ignored. If all of this isn't bad enough, a recent newcomer has posted a blog plugging their own forum!!! Unbelievable!!!!  As many of you know, Tony incurs charges to this site which he has kindly NOT passed on to the members here and someone comes along and gratuitously plugs their own site. This is not only unenlightened behaviour, but its inexplicably rude to other members and worse the owner of this site.

Those of you who have been on this site since its inception know that this was a hot bed of discussions, debates and shared ideas. We need to come together to restart our old coffee shop. Many of you in the past would blog about the various current events or news from around the globe. I ask that you help me in restoring this blog post so we can once again get together and think about how we can change things, make this world better or at the very least, bitch about it. I have many interesting news items to share with all of you, but I cant do all the work. There is nobody here who cares whether or not your English is good enough, so please contribute. I call upon some of the old bloggers who are a wealth of information....Pleadian Agenda, Trudy, PaTrisha, Patrick, Simpleman, Jim4hope, Simmy, Vaddix, Kal'Nareed, Jose and the list goes on. If you are a new member here, we welcome any amount of info you can offer about your corner of the world.

 

Tony has just sent out a mass email stating specifically what this blog post is for. Since he works long hours at his regular job, its up to the rest of us to help him enforce this effort. He has been so generous by allowing us this site to collect and share information, the least we can do is bring it back to its original splendour.

Thank you to all for reading this and start digging up some good stuff and posting it!!!

Love to you all!!!!

Well from what I understand the forum  is divided into different topic areas and used for sharing information and ideas that are open for discussion  and blogs are more  personal sharing of information,  thoughts, feeings and ideas  that reflect the blogger and also comments are sometimes avalible.

 I would like to see us getting back to discussing information and ideas and sharing our thoughts. For many of us, much has happened and so much learned over the past few years. It would be great to pool our knowlege and experiences so we can better understand and be more equipted for the wonderful but difficult times to come. This is too important to just let go.

 

Thank you, Nonya

God bless you

Thanks MysticalEnigma for posting your comment.....I thought I was the only one confused about 'what is abog' and 'what is a forum'????????

I think SOE should define VERY CLEARLY and in DETAIL what is a blog and what is forum post is for us because I believe that each of us have our own definition of different things belonging in the blog and in the forums.

CLAUDE - what is the purpose of you posting another blog above mine about the same subject? What is your point here? You posted rules from another forum? We dont need to implement new rules as this site runs fine without such policing and runs even better when attention seekers and egomaniacs dont get out of hand. SOE was originally a share of vast amounts of info (no matter the content) and was never intended to be a stage to push any agendas or religous/spiritual inclinations.  If you are are happy with another forums rules, please continue to stay with them. You joined this site last year and have continued to abuse the blog area. When you were asked to post such subjects in the proper group area, you chose not to and in my opnion, thumbed your nose at the mods and the other members here.  When asked to minimize your images on your posts when you joined, you opted to make them bigger as if to tell those of us that were asking you to be considerate of others to kiss off.  In a weeks time you would post the same blog information twice if not more. Posting another blog regarding the same thing I just posted is redundant and once again, repetitive. Is this really neccessary for you to do this?
