I bet lots of members are wondering how you can best help out in the Blogs, right? It's a lot harder than helping out in the forums, so I've assembled this guide to get you started.

Please note that the first and third sections are simply suggestions you can follow, whereas the second addresses the blog rules.

I. How can I make my Blog easier to moderate?

1. By looking at your own blog for double posts or multiple comments of the same message and avoiding posting stuff that isn't allowed, you will help the staff a ton.

2. It helps if you use the "Last Entries" and "Last Comments" content blocks. This allows the staff to be sure they have gone through all the new content in your blog (except content blocks which will have to be rechecked) by simply looking at these.

II. What should I post/not post as an entry?

1. Remember BZPower's Advertising, language usage, and politics/religion rules. We don't want to see flame in the blogs, and we dont' want to see content that would be rated above PG.

2. Spam is fine in the blogs (though still incredibly annoying). However, posting two comments in a row, or posting the same basic comment multiple times is not (that's not really something you can do in an entry though, just as a commenter).

3. Helpful entries are encouraged to be posted.

4. If you're not sure about whether you should post somthing, don't post it. This applies in the forums as well so you should be used to this.

III. What is the best way to report?

The report button for the blogs doesn't work, so PM a report to the following member:

BlogAlert

Use this form:

Blog Name: [Link would be appreciated]

Member Name: [NOT the name of the blog Author of the Blog, but the comment. A link to exact comment will be helpful]

Rule broken: [simply post what it does]
