Infamous Blog People, We need to talk
Ok, I'm not going to call out names (cause that would just be rude), but I think some of you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
I'm referring to the problem of people making lists of their favorite something-rathers and spreading out each entry on a different topic. It's really been happening a lot these past few days.
To those doing it, you know who you are, and you really need to stop. I know it's rough not having an internet forum, and we all want our opinions to be heard, but what you are doing just isn't right. For example, recently someone decided to make a list of his top 25 favorite villians, which I think is a little cliche'd but that's hardly the point. Now this would be totally fine except he decided to make 25 different topics to show his/her list, which in doing so caused everybody who made topics in the last 1-2 days (myself included) get bumped back about 3 pages before anyone could even read them. It sucks that we can't let our opinions be heard or our sweat and toil be seen because one person thought his opinion was worth 25 (26 including his intro sentence) people's thoughts. No one here is more important than anyone else, all of us have an equal right to be heard.
So if you are out there and you were responsible for doing such an atrocious thing, please stop. I know I can't enforce it because I like the rest of you am just a random fan voicing his opinion and don't have the enforcing powers of the site's admin, but hopefully this message will reach an admin and might lead to stopping this foolishness.
If it was you, and it was an honest mistake, please just refrain from doing it again in the future and everything will even itself out. If you did this intentionally for the purpose of being the only one to be heard by the internet community, please stop being a douche, go find a shovel, dig a hole, and throw yourself in.
I'm normally not one to get angry at people like this, but it just irritates me when people do stupid things like this. That, and I just spent a week compiling a fan-based top 10 list and have been preparing it somewhat delicately, only to have it exiled from the front page within mere hours of compiling.
Getting upset with all of you won't help, and I'm sorry I wasted many of you readers' time, but I really just want this to stop, and I'm even worried that this will be booted as well within a couple of hours by someone pulling the same ruse.
You have the power to make this wrong a right. Or, not really so much a "right" as a "not quite so wrong anymore", but it still lies entirely in your hands.
"Remeber Blogeteers, the power is YOURS!"
New top 10 fan-list introduced this Friday.

There is also the people who make one-line-blogs. That too can be rather irritating.
And to the person who made the 26 consecutive entries earlier, he didn't do himself any favours. I would think alot of people (myself included) just didn't have the time or energy to read and comment on all 26 pages. If that is the case then he may have just wasted alot of his/her own time.

I accept your apology, just please don't do it again. One topic is enough for everything, no matter how much you have to say.
After all, some of the blog entries have had more content in one topic than all 26 of yours combined, so there is definitely room.
Well, hopefully with this, there's nothing to fret about anymore.
I'm going back to sleep. Wake me up if anything interesting happens.

I'll tell you what, someday I'll make a "special edition" of my Top 25 Favorite Favorite Villains" blog which consists of combined entries like No. 25-20, No. 19-15, etc.
Will that do?

Hmmm... problem in communication I believe. The situation addressed here is that 26 blogs were made for a topic that could have taken one, and that in turn all other blogs were pushed pages back so in many cases they may not be seen at the target time. I know personally you can delete and edit blogs, so I'm suggesting taking these 26 blogs of yours, and editing your original blog to feature all 25 villains. After that, delete the solo articles for each villain. Your article may be long, but this way the situation is rectified since everyone who's blog was created in the past hours prior to your list won't have to see their hardwork pushed back several pages. Plus your article becomes compact and easier to read which will make it all in all more effective. I'm not an admin or anything of the sort, but I'm just offering a suggestion that should relieve the general complaint here if I'm not mistaken.

I'll think about it, don't worry. I could do it right now but right now, I'm too lazy to do so. My apologies.
