This is probably the most irritating thing on Blogit; especially prevelant
in the "On Writing" Category.  It would be a good idea to make another category, of "Writing" or "Writing Only". Thanks.

I agree, there should be a seperate category for the dist. lists
I don't appreciate wasting my clicks on them. Especially if I'm not on one, lol.

Cool deal. It would be nice if folks just put them in a list blog and titled them honestly.

Re: Distribution lists...

We are looking at ways to allow writers to share their distribution lists without having to post them in their blogs.

We move blogs with MA content when a Blogit member reports a violation or a member of the Blogit Staff notices a problem. If you see a specific blog that is repeatedly posting content that does not belong in a category please report it to us and we'll review the blog.

Since there are hundreds of thousands of posts and comments on Blogit, we cannot monitor each one. As a result, we rely on members reporting potential violations.

Thank you.

I, too am really enraged when clicking on a post
that is disguised as something other than a "dist list". I hate that! I think it should be moved to a category of Lists and Distributions. That way, regardless of the blog title, it is only fair that others aren't being misled or tricked. I have posted a couple of blogs about "who I'm getting paid to read" but is not a dist list; it is a few particular bloggers I choose to expose for appreciation of them. Good idea, Quirky.

Quirk,

Yes I agree there needs to be a separate area for the distribuiton lists like the MA lists. Posts are getting stampeded with distribution lists that are not even distribution in nature. shadow
