ONE-SENTENCE SUNDAY- Blogwhoring PMs Should Be "Opt-Out"

Rate: 14 Flag

Opt out

 While most Americans, in polls, agree that "New Posts," "Top Rated," and "Updates" are good, the shortfall and need remain overwhelming, especially on weekends, so instead of opting-in to be a Follower, as is the rule now, everyone should be, under the rule, a Default Receiver of PM Updates unless they opt-out; both the spamfall itself and the black market will be dented and more blogs will live.

I keep saying subscribe to your fave. I get people telling me to PM them. Then I read it's bad.
Man that was two sentences.. what the heck to do... now it's four.. or can I make it one?
I am confused.
Rated with hugs :)
I'm impressed.
And, of course, anyone may opt-out of anyone's PM list at any time.
Should i also be flattered? (nah.)
r.
Be flattered, Jon. Satire is the sincerest form of imitation.
ummm...love my pms or delete em and let me do the same...though when time permits I love to catch up with my faves! Thank you sir! ;}
My spam has dropped off, I am vigilant when it appears and remove and report it to "the staff."
I love my updates, but never look at "top rated" or "New Posts." perhaps I am missing something, but I like everything I read here.

Are you and Mr. Wolfman going to need a referee?
Crank I like David. Besides, he's done me a very good turn here.

Now, as to PMs, again, I send 'em bc I find them efficient. Were they to become inneficient for me, I'd stop sending them...and I suppose that's so for anyone who sends them. People who complain abt them (mine, anyone's) and who don't ask to be removed from fave lists? What's up w that? Has anyone ever heard of someone refusing to remove a member from a fave list when asked to remove the member? I sure haven't.
The real issue is - how do we opt out of advertisers leaving so-called-comments on our blogs.
Geezer now you're talking! Of course, we can opt-out now....only after the fact :)
Yeah Stellaa - I find that nothing takes the sting out of something truly obnoxious like having a good laugh at it.

For example, take Glenn Beck... Please! ... Somebody‽
Cranky - No, but I think we could use a bartender. We'll be in the Cigar Lounge, having a few laughs together.
So far no one has asked me to stop PMing my blog announcing, which I don't actually do for each blog (hence the low readership of some of them). I try to include those that I regularly read or hear from in my comments, isn't that how it is supposed to go? Supposed to... like Open Salon is supposed to be for writers. Real, imaginary and amateur.
Dunno for sure, Oryoki, but I think some of us are really here for the big fat Google AdSense checks.
Opt out is the option of most industries now...and most people are too lazy to bother doing it.
I think some one needs to get a life. Long live Little Whorewho from Blogwho's mommy Booho....ahahahchoo. Really Bms oh that was Pm was it?:D
Dude 94 and counting...check you laces.
If I opted-out I wouldn't get any PM mail and then I would think I had no friends and then I would feel sorry for myself and then I would be all angry and self-righteous and then I would write a post about it and then get an EP and then feel better.
Gee, I don't even know what you're talking about CrazE - my fren Jon and I fired up a couple of fine Cubans and were laughing about my parodies of his popular blogs, and I ordered a couple of VSOPs, and we debate the pros and cons of Capitalization Punishment and then when I ordered a secon round he waved me off and said he just wanted ice water, something about his kidney, and then when I looked he hadn't touched his snifter, and by then the third VSOP had arrived and you just can't waste that stuff, ya know, so I heped him out with his and then had mine and then I... uh...
Grif - We hear your plea for help, and as the caring community we are, we will respond. PMs are on the way. Step away from the window.

Hey, does anyone still have the PMs from that Ocksanna chick that can forward them to Grif? Or any others would be good too. Even the weight-loss thing wouldn't hurt. He needs PMs now, so lets send them to him. Quality doesn't matter as much as quantity until he's out of the danger zone.

Snarkychaser, I'll bet you know how to set up email trees, or maybe Bleue does. Come on, let's get cracking. We don't want to lose this one.
I was away for a month and when I returned I had so many PM's, I send them very selectively now.
Fay, I'm with you. I send them selectively. I post erratically, and also at odd intervals, so once in a while I remind folks I'm around.

As for your Inbox, I suggest you declare eMail Bankruptcy. Just Select All, Delete. Don't even think about it. You didn't miss anything.
Sheba - It's Personal Message, the OS version of email.
