There is nothing hurting you about having many articles written

Published on May 5, 2008 By erathoniel In Blogging

Ok. Gonna try to keep it clean.

There is nothing in having many articles written that hurts you. If the articles have a point, regardless of how strong, state a fact or opinion, tell a story, do not plagarize, are not spam, and are not mandatory reading, you do not suffer at all from some people posting ten thousand articles a day. So what if it gets pushed out of the recent articles list? Some of us actually put links up at different places to advertise. There's always Google. If somebody actually cares about your opinion, they will still find it.

I sincerely doubt JU has so little bandwith that they cannot process a hundred articles a day. If you think there's a problem, buy more Stardock products. But it never hurts you to have more articles published.

Also, shall I point out that I am attacked on this often, with articles being written to attack me personally. While I do not believe these go against the TOU, it is a hypocrisy to attack a "spammer" (Remind me to sue for libel.) by posting up many articles that counteract the exact point that you are arguing.

Unless they write in the TOU "Thou Shalt Not Post More Than X Article(s) a Day", I will not stop. I believe in the golden rule, and I find nothing wrong with writing anything on my mind. Feel free to do likewise.

There is one point where flooding articles can be detrimental to other users on the site:

It makes it virtually impossible to find any other content on the site without digging pages into the recent archives.

What you are doing is effectively crowding out other users content. One thing to keep in mind is that you have joined a blogging COMMUNITY. What this means, in case it has escaped you, is that you're a part of that group and that your blog does not exist in a vacuum.

Going "Nya-nya-nya I'm going to keep at it until a rule says I can't!" is like that kid on the playground holding their finger a quarter of an inch from your forehead going "I'm not touching you!" and following you around. Sure, there may not be a rule against it, but it's supremely annoying.

Always remember that just because you CAN do something does not necessarily mean that you SHOULD.

I'm not advocating it, I'm simply saying that since right now I am in good health, have free time, and am not terribly addicted to games, so I can write. I'm gonna be cutting back once I find a new game. In fact, I spend all of my leisure time on JU. Partly because I don't want Ock writing too much about me and slandering me without letting me write back.

All I really need is a good game. Or to get my wiki fleshed out, but I've been shirking that for months. That'll get me off JU for a while.

Actually, I'm gonna cut back to once-or-twice a day releases.

The first release will have three articles.

The second release will have five, if I need it.

If I only have one (or two) additional article(s), I'll post it in the comments towards the end of the day.
