Well if you go to the blog section, almost all the blogs you will find are under 300 characters, even 100, and are either advertising their YouTube channels or Twitters etc.

I think we need some new blog rules so people officially understand what a blog really is. These rules should be listed when you are editing your blog, so people can see them and they don't make any mistakes.

Rules:

1. Blogs must at least 300 characters
2. Blogs must not advertise
3. Blogs cannot ask for comments or likes in the title, or bribe people to do so

Just three new rules I think should be added so I can stop reporting blogs, because I'm frankly getting sick of doing so.

There should be a new way on site of how to get members to read rules? How about some sort of video :L Everybody these days prefers watching and listening, rather than reading? eh :L

I hear yah. But, I report skins, and mods that are the same. It ticks me off having to report around 100+ things a week.

Yeah but rules basically allow you to report the submission with no harm caused. Sure, you can do it right now, but then you will get messages saying like, WHY U TAKE OUT MY BLOG, I DO NOTHING WRONG! If you get that and the rules are written, you can just respond by saying, read the rules before you post anything. Rules on PMC really need to be added more than just a forum thread at the complete bottom of the forum page.

The problem is that people will still post this stuff regardless, notice the rules on the Projects submission page and such that people never read.

Nice rules, you should add other rules such as :

Blogs must not have copied content from other blogs on PMC or from the internet.
Blogs must be written by you and nobody else , for nobody else.

If those rules are already there then sorry I must not of seen it

yeah Sour ... those rules are actually the "unspoken" rules of the blogs.... and they need to BE spoken. And I've been a bad mod and not been dealing with my section, I'll go there now and handle your reports.
