Forum:Blog Policy Amendment

Alright, anyone who's interested in making socializing blogs and doesn't wanna lose that, I suggest you listen up and pay attention. Recently, another forum was used to decide if we would use the chat feature, which got an overwhelmingly positive vote. However, this does not come without cost: now some people wish to make a stipulation that all general blogs not directly related to Sonic be forbidden. To be quite frank, I think this is extreme. We've always had non-Sonic blogs on this place, even back when I first joined. However, it's not so much the content of the blogs that's the problem: it's the sheer number of these blogs that's brought them under scrutiny! The ruling that no socializing blogs be made rather than using the chat is especially unfair to those who do not wish to use the chat, as well as those who cannot, either by not using Oasis or via technical difficulties. So, in order to find some even ground, I came up with this possible amendment to the rule: each User is allowed to make as many Sonic-related blogs as they wish, and as many blogs that directly relate to the User making them (family, schedules, vacations, etc.). The reason there aren't any limits on these are because this is a Sonic Wiki, so limiting blogs related to the very subject of the wiki would be... I wanna say stupid. The reason there are no limits on blogs about personal lives is because well, it's life: you never know when something is gonna come up or how often it will occur, so trying to place limits on it would pretty much be trial and error. However, each user is only permitted to make two blogs a week for something that does not either directly relate to Sonic nor relates directly to the person making the blog (like talking about a different franchise, world subjects, etc). To be more specific about personal blogs: THEY MUST RELATE TO AND DIRECTLY IMPACT THE PERSON MAKING THEM, NOT THE PERSON/CHARACTER THEY PRETEND/BELIEVE TO BE (yeah, I'm looking at you two 'Sonic' and Chromia). Now, is this amendment reasonable? Because suddenly expecting everyone to drop socializing blogs at this point certainly isn't going to happen.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 20:34, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
