Blog entries in 2017.

This year, I have seen an up-rise on low-quality blog entries, even shitposts. I have made this entry to comment on my thoughts about this. These are my thoughts, not yours. Though, you may express your opinion in the comments below.

'Tempers, please, stop shitposting on your blog section. It is not made for this at all, and guests & newcomers will be able to see this, well, unless your blog is private, which is what I see as something rare across the temp, but it is quite frustrating to see someone I'm following and count onto making good-quality blogs do shitposts like, "My serious thoughts" with the description of "lol blah blah blah" and nothing else. If you want to shitpost, move to the EoF. I don't want to see your shitty blog posts on my notifications and recent content tab.

I know I can just ignore the said person, but I still don't agree the misuse of the blog section.

Satirical comments on the entry is fine, as long as the content is good enough with valid points. If you do not feel like your followers want the content, then don't post it. If you don't want people to know you in a certain way from a blog post, then don't post it.

I sincerely apologise if I'm just adding to the mix, but I just feel like expressing my thoughts. Thanks for reading.

If you have issues then don't look at blog sections, simple as that.
 
@Felek666 yes, but it's just misuse of a section. What you're saying is similar to, "If someone shitposts on the General Off-Topic Section, don't do anything".

I think you don't have much stuff to talk about since you joined the "How do you see me?" train last time.

@Felek666 That's nothing like full-on shitposting. I was actually curious, not fucking around.

Eh... I dunno. I feel a shitpost wave from time to time should be possible, since it's funny as hell when it happens and is at least a better break from "durr school is hard/life is hard durr" posts that the blog post section usually gets filled up with.

The bandwagons happen rarely and most blog post are legit so i don't see your idea of shitposting. It's their blog, they can do anything and you have no power over them.
 
I totally agree, the good quality blog posts just get lost in the amount of pure crap posted, which is a shame as i did enjoy the blog from the guy who went to Pax for example.

A lot of these posts could be status updates their that short, sadly unless the staff agree and the mods enforce any sort of rules theirs not much you can do. I agree it does make the site look a unprofessional too.

My reply to your blog post is longer than several of these posts combined for example...

There's a whole section where these blogs belong. So, these posts should just go there.

The same way as I would say that this blog post would belong to Off-Topic for example. Same reasoning.
 
@TheKingy34 - But nobody goes to the EoF and the EoF has a thread format not a blog one.
 
@Ev1l0rd People don't go to the EoF as it simply isn't worth their time, and they don't want to see shitposts. And why does the format actually matter at all?

The blogs need to be better moderated. It's pathetic how much shit posting has been going around. The site is slowly becoming a cess pool for low quality trolling and unmoderated retardation. Borderline cancerous.

EOF and off topic exist for a reason.

Read my PFP.

Not happening. My blog is a place for me to express myself. You don't like it, don't read it. Simple logic.
Shitposting is not a "misuse" of the blog. You are wrong.
 
@TheGeneralFilms Shitposting is surely a great way to express yourself! Being serious is useless!
 
TheGeneralFilms said:
Like I said, if you don't like it then ignore it. Quit your bitching.
Yeah, because it's super easy to avoid when it's all over the site.

That post really does belong on the EoF, or if you want people to take you completely seriously, maybe act a bit more mature and professional?

    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
