Blogging Policies Revisited
By Paul Lundgren on Apr 10, 2009 in PDD Shop Talk, Recommendations
By the power vested in me by the founders of Perfect Duluth Day, I present this update to PDD’s blogging policies.
Promotional Content
It’s perfectly acceptable to promote and sell things through posts on PDD. Just don’t abuse the power.
If you’re planning a quaint yard sale and want to hype all the Judy Collins records you’re selling, that’s fine. If you represent Wham-o, Inc. and post a rant about the awesomeness of the Pop Bang Target Game, which is available for the amazing low price of $24.99, your post will be removed.
Obviously there is a gray area between those examples, but as long as what you’re posting has local relevance and doesn’t come off like an advertorial, there should be few complaints.
you’re such a Nazi … will you run the ministry of thought when I’m god-emperor of Dune..er Duluth?
This is your first warning, Baci. The word “Nazi” has been banned from this site. You have to write “proponent of national socialism in Germany during the 1930s” from now on.
May I refer to you as a fascist?
There goes all my 420 jokes.
Amen!
Whew. I was sweating over my recent rummage-sale post.
Hmmmmmm, actually policing the blog? What an original and novel idea. I can’t wait to see what happens the next time somebody throws a random YouTube video up. Probably nothing, but I can hope.
