There have always been people who will cheat at solitaire It's pretty funny in a way that people will cheat or pay someone to run up coin scores and experience points here. But sad too, what small-time robbers! Where is Lex Luther when we really need him to inspire lesser crooks?

Blog I think it's a good blog post. It addresses alot of what we have been talking about here in discussions in a pretty general sort of way, and I think newbies, if they read it, will find it pretty helpful. It doesn't make any earthshaking announcements or ways to deal with problems other than common sense, but it does address many of the areas of disagreement here recently.

It makes me realize how much they are "listening" to our concerns, too, which is a very good thing. They want this to be a great site, it's obvious, and they know to do that there needs to be a good Askville base of answerers, and seem very willing to work with us to achieve that level of Askvillers.

I'm glad that it clears up a few questions "If you receive a negative vote, you should not always assume it is the fault of the asker" That's important! A lot of people blame the asker first without considering other votes. "When you answer an opinion based question, you need to realize that your opinion may not be popular, which could result in a negative vote.

" True, but I wish they could do something about that so all valid answers receive valid votes. "We strongly encourage our veteran Askvillers to lead by example and warmly welcome newbie users and respectfully advise others about how to use the site via private messaging. " Totally passing the buck, now it's our responsibility to police the site?

"Finally, veteran Askville users who have earned enough experience points in specific topics can use their voting Superpower to objectively vote on answers to ensure that the best answers get rewarded in every topic. " We can't do that on questions we answer ourselves, which kind of defeatst he purpose. If someone like Lime and booknerdgirl come along and screw up a question we answer, there is nothing we can do to fix it.

Yes I do. I think most of us know what motivated them to post this, but I think they're gently avoiding the real issue. Some bad seeds around here started cheating, or violating the guidelines in other ways, and Askville's response is a very light "tisk tisk".

I think they should've been more harsh, explicitly announce they will ban everyone they find to be cheating, and if that doesn't help, threaten to take away all quest coins! That would certainly teach everyone to behave .

Very logical post... I think that most of it is a logical reiteration of the existing policies/plans and really more a refresher statement than any king of a change or shift. The clarifications on what some people might think is unexpected behavior is somewhat useful (seeing as there have been a couple questions about it recently) but still nothing earthshaking.

How do I use my blog name to post a review.

We got a new "Askville Blog" post earlier today, yet I haven't seen any discussion about it...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
