Message to bloghi.com and bloghi.com Blogging Regulars

@ 09:05 AM (7 months, 15 days ago)

 

Here is a copy of my latest email to bloghi.com.  In reviewing this situation, I find it outrageous that the "not the skank" blog was banned and the soonerblue blog still exists.  That soonerblue person has openly gloated about how she and her family and friends complained to bloghi.com and succeeded in having the blog banned.  Between them, the marked it as spam about 250 times.  Speaking of spam, why on earth is my blog marked "spam" and why are any of the regulars' blogs marked "spam"?  WE are the people who make money for bloghi.com.  I personally am tired of being treated with such disdain and would like to open the discussion among the "regulars" about moving "en masse" to another blogging site.  Your thoughts?

"I have written to you twice without the courtesy of a response.  How do you justify banning that blog as spam?  How do you justify letting the woman who complained about it and subsequently gloating about getting it banned have a blog at all?  Why on earth do you allow my blog to have been marked as spam for about 3 weeks?  Do you want your few regular non spam bloggers to cease to use your site?  I am in touch with all of them and we are considering moving en masse to blogger in protest of what you have done and your not correcting it as outlined above.  I think as a three plus year blogger on your site who has driven a LOT of traffic here, I deserve the courtesy of a response to my inquiries and an explanation.  Thank you, Barry G."

  7. Thanks for your support. It means a lot to me. I have stood up for principle in my own imperfect way and feel totally screwed.

  9. I'm still waiting for bloghi to send me the password for hollywood mindwarp - I can't seem to get a reply.
    My only problem is I've tried a bunch of other blogs and hate them all - I'll check out wherever you may go though.

  10. I wouldn't hold your breath re: hearing from bloghi.com. Please invesitgate some other free blog hosting sites. I am ready to get outta here. My vote would be that either WE (the regulars) all go to another site. It does mean some work in creating the new template, etc. however we would avoid the bloghi.com BS. Most of the stuff that used to work on bloghi.com doesn't work anymore anyway. Let's get a vote from the regulars (dugg, Mos, Ed, EB, Aza, Jim, Burns, Ernie, our new pal Lisa,) and decide. I'm sure you will do a great job selecting a new "home". bloghi.com will end up with spam and "soonerblue" (that's redundant), no traffic and no ad revenue.

  11. I'm agree with you Barry about the banning. I'm inclined to move to Blogger.

  12. Let's get the rest of the votes in. EB....is there some sort of "homepage" on blogger where all the "regulars" could find each other?

  13. not really...we could move to blogger and leave the new addy's on our old blogs here.

  15. Blogger sucks. You can't get on a homepage or talk to anyone easily. The functions are difficult to use... no Blogger for me. If everyone leaves, isn't that sort of a white flag to SoonerBlue...letting her run everyone off? I didn't expect surrender so easily.:lol:

  16. What I'm saying is retaliation is so much more fun. You're the bloghi figurehead, Barry - you've been here for years - there must be some other way.

    Comment by Dugg— 2009/04/11 @ 03:44 PM — (Reply)

  17. Good point dugg. Surrender? HAH I scoff at surrender. Will bloghi.com ban ALL of us? I say retaliate!!!!

  19. I agree. I was starting to write my story about parenting my troubled teen, when my blog was banned. I guess that I am far from the only parent who are trying to raise a teen as a single parent.

    I believed that this subject was of common interest, but apperently is was not.

    Comment by Jonase— 2009/04/11 @ 04:48 PM — (Reply)

  20. Don't take it personal, Jonase - most of the blogs that people try to start here get spammed off - It's one of the worst parts of bloghi.

    Comment by Dugg— 2009/04/11 @ 05:40 PM — (Reply)

  21. Which name were you using that got banded ?

    Comment by jim— 2009/04/11 @ 08:03 PM — (Reply)

  22. Hey Jonase, just start a new one. If anyone hassles you, put a comment on my blog and I'll have your back. Ed

  24. HUH? You have to be "slightly" more clear Jimbo.

  26. It looks like the douchbags at bloghi.com still haven't corrected this injustice.
