Blogger.com Proudly Presents Objectionable Flags to Blogs it Hosts

2005-08-21

Reposting Badanov's story; something about the original was breaking formatting in a weird way -- wouldn't show up on page 3, but the title was in the banner and you could click it. Apologies, but I don't know how to rescue the comments.

You can call me a bad guy, or a rabid republican, but whatever you do, don't call me when this blows back, or has unintended consequences on blogger.com.

Great business model, BTW
EFL
The "Flag?" button is a means by which readers of Blog*Spot can help inform us about potentially questionable content, so we can prevent others from encountering such material by setting particular blogs as "unlisted." This means the blog won't be promoted on Blogger.com but will still be available on the web â we prefer to keep in mind that one person's vulgarity is another's poetry. Or something like that.

#6 Oops, meant "blogspot" rather than blogger...

Anyway, what does it say for the future of Google that blogspot's old problems just got worse as the new management took over?

#5 I'll be impressed when blogger can carry blogs like belmont club and not choke to death...

#4 When the Left proposes a flawed tool designed to give them supremacy in any field, the best option for us is to render the tool unworkable.

There sure are a lot of lefty hate sites on Blogspot. Some of them aren't even openly leftist, but damn, they sure hate blacks, hispanics, gays, and women. (Blogspot won't mind if they hate Jews, so don't claim that.)
Oh, those sites don't contain that language? Well, it sure looked like it to me---that's why I flagged them.
From every one of the available IP addresses on the local insecure wireless APs in the neighborhood. :)

#3 "Wisdom of the Crowd"? Sorry, not for me.

I just love the freedom of speech:
when tranzi/dhimmis really state their case, behind their MCB, CAIR leaders. I don't want to get flagged, covert is good.

#2 Blogspot is owned by Google. Draw your own conclusions.

#1 As per my previous comments. Lefties will use this to make sites they don't like invisible. Everyplace that has tried this that is worth a danm has stopped it. "Moderation bombing" is a way of life for the rabid left and TRANZIS, they co-ordinate via email and IM and attack. Some are more subtile and take weeks to do their job.

My suggestion is to register a domain name and find a real hosting service like many of us do.
