Suit yourself. I am sure quite a few people will be able to use them appropriately. It's not really hard.

I couldn't agree more.

I can see this working well for graal-related blogging. Can post server development news, personal development or perhaps ideas/concepts and the like. If you want to have a whingefest, go to an actual blogging place. If you're not going to use it then whatever. Just don't ***** about the people who have to moderate it

Everything having to do with the forums will be moderated. We dont need a bunch of disgusting content. You can say whatever you want, as long as it conforms to the standard forum rules, unless they make different rules.

But your defense for blogs was the the OP can control it themselves! Darlene, you're not making much of an argument here.

Um, they can....appropriately. If it is so hard to be appropriate, then dont use the blogs. *shrugs*

Who said it'd be disgusting? I never mentioned disgusting, I simply stated the fact they will be moderated, and that kind of ruins the venting associated with blogging. Or, really, the ability for someone to speak their mind.

Given that half my posts/topics end up deleted for stupid reasons, we can't really say whatever we want.

If the blogs will be moderated, it should be strictly by the rules by specially appointed blog mods. Not by the forum mods who interpret the rules as they see fit and decide what is and isn't grounds for ban. Rules would need to be more defined it less vague.

I hardly read any blogs at all, but those that I have read a few entries from usually tend to have cursing and other things deemed 'inappropriate' by the forums, even though they are very harmless(no nasty crap or anything like that).
Whether or not I read ****ty blogs is no denial that blogs are often used for venting.
