Comment Filters and Post Categories

August 30, 2007

Howdy!

O.K. so here’s the deal. My blog is supposed to be a fun alternative to regular blogs/forums that can get way outta hand. Cursing, flamers, spammers, and Internet-trolls (people who go around saying nasty and/or rude things. So I have set up TWO filter systems.

The first one is set up by Askimet and followed by Terms and Conditions, brought to you by my Copyright Protection provider, Copyscape. If it doesn’t make it through, it gets sent to Spam and eventually deleted.

If it makes it through, it goes into my Moderation Queue. There, I moderate comments, personally. If I don’t like it for any reasons…

→ Asks stupid question
→ Negative
→ Pointless comments
→ Posts a website I don’t like (no matter content)
→ Asks why or gets angry because their comments are getting deleted
→ Unfiltered flame, Spam, etc.

…it will get deleted. So there ya’ go.

And as for post categories, they are rated on awesome-ness.

• Terrible | * | Worse rating, usually on a really negative subject…
• Bad | ** | A post on a subject I dislike…
• Good | *** | Decent post, not bad and not great…
• Great | **** | A really cool post that’s filled with good vibes!
• Excellent | ***** | The best rating, a post about something that’s amazing!

Any questions, leave ‘em here or on the Questions & Answers page.

See ya’ tomorrow!

School Swing, My First Week of Misory

August 29, 2007

Howdy!

In case you didn’t already know, I started school last Wednesday, making today the first week of school. For me, of course. Some of you haven’t started yet, and think I start early. Well, I got out June 4th, only because of calamity days. (I was supposed to get out the 31st of May). So yeah. I’m not a big fan of school, but eighth grade is something I wasn’t prepared for. It was a big leap from seventh. So many binders and books; it’s insane!

I have a wide-range of readers, so not all of you are in the same grade as me/eachother. But lemme just say, whether or not you’re in Middle School, J.H., or High School, locker shelves are your best friend. First of all, they’re cheap. Second, they are the ULTIMATE organization tool. I think they’re a life-saver. Kids are already getting a detention for not having assignments on the first week of school.  Sad, huh?

I gotta go, but let me know what you’re doing to prepare for school, or tips of your own if you’re already in school. 5 down, 175 to go.

See ya’ tomorrow!

The Early Bird Catches the Lunar Eclipse

August 28, 2007

Howdy!

Today, Tuesday the 28th, many people stood in aw, viewing a total lunar eclipse this morning around 6am EST.

I got up at about that early, stepped outside, and with a telescope took a photo of what I saw. Amazing? Yes.

This photo is extraordinary in many ways. I tried to get another picture when I was going to school, but it was gone. I don’t know who all could see it, or who all saw it when. So don’t ask me, comprenda?

But congrats to those who were lucky enough to see it. I believe the next one is early next year. Google it.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Would the Real Decision Maker, Please Stand Up?

August 27, 2007

Howdy!

I have thought some things over. A Club Penguin blog is something of a majority (over 10,000 and still rising.) I don’t know. Maybe it’s just to be popular. But the thing is, Club Penguin is a childish game. The sign up age-selection screen says 6-17, but honestly, if you’re playing that game when your older than 14–you seriously need a reality check. And some people (not mentioning names) are just too stupid to figure it out. All they care about is being popular. And to those who call it “helping”, please I’ve heard better excuses. You think you’re helping, and in some cases you care, but most of the time you’re not. You’re just setting your own self up for something you get addicted to, and setting yourself up for disappointment. Cause whether you’re helping or not, there will always be people who wanna copy you, discourage you, etc.  So why do it? I never got an answer to that question, and I’ve been asking for it for almost 5 months. And when you have a Club Penguin blog, you only appeal to one general audience; Club Penguin players. Lame.

So from this point on, this blog will not be a CP-blog. Instead I would like to follow in the footsteps of one of my favorite idols, even if she’s a technical stranger to me. Holagurrl25. I don’t care what you think of her, cause quiet frankly, I don’t give a rat’s-ass about your negative insinuations. About me, about her, about anyone else. This blog will be like her’s; a project in management, referencing the real life and online world. Maybe throw in a lil’ of Socool and a lil’ of Dunya13’s ideas. A giant pie of intelligence, and logic.

All three of the girl’s I mentioned (it’s weird how they’re all the same gender) buckled down and GREW UP. 10,000 of you haven’t. Sometimes being apart of a majority is good, but in this case…nah. Here’s my advice to you.

Kick your own ass.
