@Anik... it seems?? I really did man!! And i did not knw the seriousness of it... I knew it was irritating and all... but only when my friend saw my "promotions" he just told me to shut off! I want a good blogging name more than anything else... That's why im feeling so bad...

As time goes Im sure ill make up for my mistakes and far better myself... but for now I will have to take the beating :-|

there is no point crying over the split spam. Try to be good, be eithical.

we are all here to help you be a better blogger, not a greedy blogger. hence, if you felt all of us here are sounding rude, thats only coz we all are frustrated.

and please, be sure that we still will help you Smile

@pen never run behind.. learn from the top bloggers how they write. understand what makes their content stand out the most?

Interesting isnt it? You come to a common platform to learn, understand what others are here for and help eachother.

If you dont read and understand what makes them better, you wont be able to improve yourself.

I am not saying to copy their content or writing style, you need to know the thought paradigim. thats how you improve and earn some goodwill.

It's okay you are just new to all this, MARIO and MOHAMMED were the lessons in disguise! Laughing I suggest you to go for writing GOOD content, everything else will follow! TRUST ME! I've been blogging for three years now, and at least a 1000 people read my blog posts, who are not even bloggers! You need to market your blog ethically. Such spamming techniques work in short term. Never go for such USELESS tactics!

Writing with your heart, while having patience and the brain is the key to blogging! Smile

hey , thanks hemal , thanks sourav , i gues , u knw , its jus tat , i write wat i feel abt , n if IndiRank , Alexa , and GPR are the most important things in blogosphere , then i gues i dnt belong here .....

i nva thought that writing something wud lead to this , i mean , al i cud ever imagine is that , we write , coz we feel abt somthing , n its gud to read othrs blogs , n share the experience , nva in my wildest dreams cud i ever think tat blogging is more like a markting policy for most ppl.....or more of a winning a contest thing !

well , al i can say is tat , i knw my own thing , n if ppl like tat , i wud b happy ..i dnt promote myslf unethically , i love havn good conversations on indiblogger forum , n i gues tats te most popularity i wil ever get , bt it doesnt matter to me , m cool within my own niche !

A MESSAGE FROM THE GOD OF ALL MODERATORS -

EVERYONE :: Dudes & Dudettes ... The Internet can sometimes render us faceless that we dont see that there are some very young bloggers here ...

I can see that some were spamming, but guys, we dont talk to young people like this ... Lets all remember how we were when we were 15 .. Most of us were probably dorks :)

To see ideas like this stem from 11 year olds to 25 year olds is in itself a magnificent feat! This is a tribute to India and all its glory! These guys are the future and we should treat them with respect.

They are young and they are allowed to be over enthusiastic, bubbly and curious about every damn thing :) Yes, some spammed but do be gentle in your advice. There were some very harsh things said and they were totally unnecessary. The internet should never make us lose our humanity ...

Mario Dcunha::

I have no words to describe the respect I have for you. It takes a big man to admit a mistake and there is no harm in making a few.

Everyone else .. It is a good contest .. Its like an F1 grand prix race with Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton racing each other for the championship.. you guys should stop worrying about the spam for a day and refresh this page :)

Peace!

Hemal Shah

yeah Anoop.. we agree that we are a bit harsh here... as i said you guys have much bigger heart then we have... and thats something which is a shame on us.

irritation is a high level thing. a few heated discussion has happened coz the leading blog posts is threatened just coz of this spamming.

now thats a worry coz a genuine blogger is under threat coz of this.

Folks, I'm glad things cooled down here...

I guess everyone's patience was tested with the overdose of promotion. I was watching the spam on twitter and the comments on blogs as well, and it wasn't pretty. However, I could not put things in better perspective than Anoop has. We're the more experienced, more mature bloggers here - Mario's young, and I think the worst thing we could do as bloggers is kill another's spirit. I've done some pretty stupid stuff when I was young that scarred me for life - ignoring that voice in my head simply because I wanted something so very badly - haven't we all done stuff like that? Innocent

Thanks to last night's #inditweetmeet, I guess Mario realized how serious an issue it was and how important it is to all of us, and he came out and apologized on his own, even before this topic came up. I admire his character, and hope for all things good in this world that he keeps blogging after today!

This thread was entirely necessary, as it brought everyone's frustration out into the light, and gave Mario the chance to apologize and realize that IndiBloggers take their code of conduct very, very seriously! All sorted out in one slightly emotional sitting. Laughing

Cheers!

On a different note, does anyone know where MohanBN is? We have an IndiPolice who's gone missing in action!

Going through this complete thread  and the arguments, now realised how difficult is winning a contest. Money mouth Any one tried some kind of offline promotions?

Not much to say after Anoop and Renie have given their views.

But I'd like bring this to everybody's notice and add here, that IndiPolice and the Admins are concerned about Spammer and Spamming. And were keeping a track on this thread the whole time and also on the spamming in comments and twitter/IndiStream.

We have/had/will have an eye on spammers all the time.

But really, where is Mohan?

A fellow IndiPolice and Forum Buddy is missing! Frown

If any of the spammer has touched him, I swear on my IndiBlogger ass, that would be the last Evil you'll ever do! Yell

@ all.

I think we write for satisfaction. Writiing sets us free and let us feel ourselves.

At least I don't write for contests.

Feel what I feel...See what I see...For Once Set me free..(Courtesy Guzaariash tag line)

Loved it so wrote that,

I think its high time we write for a cause, for a belief and for self expression rather than for some printers/some new film/ writer's promotional prank or some electronic goodies.

I write coz I choose to do it.

I hope everybody is able to gauge my sentiments.

I am sorry if i hurt some one.

Regards,

Amit
