Hi!<\/p>\n
This is an automated notifier to tell you that a member of BlogSnob admin team has seen your page<\/p>\n
and reported it to us. Your page<\/p>\n
might have either violated the acceptance rules, or you have not<\/p>\n
displayed your ad on the page properly.<\/p>\n
These are the kind of sites that we do not accept:<\/b>1) No offensive\/pornographic content allowed. 2) No commercial sites allowed. 3) No pop up\/under ad sites. 4) No foul language\u2013OK, this one is a little tricky – let\u2019s say \u201cif you heard it on NBC\/other TV networks, it\u2019s probably ok\u201d.NOTE: This point should hold for the following: the content of your site, it\u2019s name, and the slogan that you<\/p>\n
give in the ad.<\/p>\n
5) Personal sites and Blogs Only. When people checkout a BlogSnob site, they expect it to be a nice Blog by somebody.<\/p>\n
So your site should either be a personal blog, or something close to it.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s keep the spirit of blogging alive!<\/p>\n
regards,
\nThe BlogSnob Team.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026they expect it to be a nice Blog by somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh, so just because I have a blog it\u2019s supposed to be all rainbows and ass-kissing? And my blog is by ME. I\u2019m somebody. I think I established that back in um\u2013preschool\u2013when we discussed how special each of us little kids are, and that we\u2019re all SOMEBODY. That right there should tell you the kind of members BlogSnob has\u2026children.<\/p>\n
Here is their method by which they accept sites:<\/b>
\n\u201cFirst, when a site signs up, the blogsnob system automatically goes out, and checks it. It tries to see if the site is a blog, is clean, if it contains any objectionable language or pictures. If it finds no problem with the site, or the ad, it approves the site. All applicant sites that have objectionable words, pictures, etc. are politely rejected. If any user of blogsnob finds any site that is not a personal or a blog site, or it is offensive, or improper, he\/she reports it using the contact page. The site is then immediately checked out by first the BlogSnob system itself, and also by the Admins. The site is then dealt with accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ooooh, I\u2019M TO BE DEALT WITH!<\/p>\n
Have I been a bad little girl? Am I now to stand in line for my whooping?<\/p>\n
Shit.<\/p>\n
Well, BlogSnob is a work of a bunch of snobs. Truly.<\/p>\n
This is MY FREEDOM. To write and say what I please. It\u2019s their loss if they don\u2019t want a fine quality site like day lee in their stupid little club. HA!<\/p>\n
Besides, none of those assholes said anything was bad about my site back when I didn\u2019t have a huge pic displaying the word \u2018fuck\u2019 on it when I signed up two years ago, however day lee\u2019s always been chock-full of words and stuff that would make a sailor blush. So what gives, peeps?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to be THE BIGGEST SNOB OF ALL, and not only boycott BlogSnob and all sites but also any site which displays links to, belongs to, and otherwise encourages the services and policies set forth by BlogSnob and its partners\/evil minions. Besides, I think they only sent me a handful of hits a day. Probably people who are all of 11, still crapping their pants and sheilding their eyes from all the bad, bad stuff in this world, LOL!<\/p>\n
