In my opinion, your blog is a direct violation of;

Sorry tried to please but only so much that I can do on the road, take it down then I really do not care!!!!

I am presuming you and the Moderator are having a 'moment'. But..telling him you "really don't care"..? What kind of stunt is that? If you really "don't care"..take your Blog off the posting..or don't post.

Told my wife that I was bringing a couple slugs home for her as pets, she declined. :h

Today's update is done.

Trip Report

I removed the "ad" information from my blog till I can figure out how to get it off this one page.

Mike, if you take issue with the Forum Rules, you should take it up with the Forum Administrator. In your post, I see nothing referring to or your acknowledgement of the rules.

"You may not use the Open Roads Forum to either advertise or promote commercial endeavors. This includes direct posts, member name, URLS in your profile or signature, as well as, active links to other sites on the Internet.
You may include URLs or active links to commercial sites for the purpose of expanding on comments or providing additional information as part of regular forum interactions."

The first thing at the top of your blog is "Paterson Photography
Teaching, courses, workshops, printing, photography and more". Does that not advertise or promote commercial endeavors?

It should be noted, I am the Moderator on the TC Forum only. If you have questions to do with another Forum, it should be ask there.

Honestly if you want to remove it do so. I just thought that I would share and this was the fastest way, never thought that it would be an issue. Seeing that we had to host our images someplace else this saved so much time in uploading images to different sites and copying links and making sure that sizes were correct, etc, etc.

I was PM'ed yesterday asking why I would not post this on the Alaska/ Canada forum as this would be beneficial there. Never thought of that so I did. It was pulled down, and people wonder why there is nobody posting there.

At least if I get removed then there is more space to discuss GMC over Ford or Gas over Diesel or what weight is the right weight to carry, those are the important things!

Instead of trying to type things out a couple times I am doing this trip report on my blog and will let you know here when I update it. Saves me retyping for my site and a couple others.

I think a blog takes advantage of RV.NET. Why not make the post in RV.NET and put a link on your blog to the Post?
I have mastered the copy and paste function, which minimizes the typing on multiple forums.

I have yet to see another forum that will accept and post the code from one forum to another. Sure, text is easy to cut and paste but throw in a bunch of links and pictures, you will spend hours retyping your same post to each forum you wish to share on.
Or you can simply write out your one blog trip report, then post and share the link on several forums.
I've never seen a blog link posted here on RV.net I didn't click on then come back to rv.net to make my comments.
The suggestion of making your trip report post here, then sharing this link on other sites directing traffic here is self serving. From rv.net's perspective I understand doing that but by the same logic, every forum could make the same demand. What if all the different forums adopt the same policy? Then there would be no exchange and we all would lose.
How do you feel about mellowmike and his excellent blog?

It's when demands like this are made that it just drives me nuts.
The member post contributions are the only reason people come here. RV.net itself contributes no content but they do provide the best forum for rv's on the web but again, that's the people here.
It just seems we should be working together to keep this site fun, informative, friendly, and relevant.
