It's not copy-right infringement if I upload a music album's artwork to use in my blog and say it's not mine, right?

Nope. Especially not if you specifically state it's not yours.

Just a quick question: Those blog approval things, do you send those via PM, or what?

:c::g:

You can send them via PM; you can also post them in the comment of whatever entry has earned that blog your approval (provided your comment doesn't just contain the image).

 

It also depends on what the blog owner wants - if they only want it via PM or by comment well it's up to them.

I've been told that spoiler tags aren't allowed in blogs, and yet people use them for approvals and etc. A friend of mine hear told be that he was PMed by B6 that the spoilers aren't allowed and he had removed them. I ask, is this rule true, and shouldn't it be added to the Blog Rules entry if it's true?

Spoiler tags are to be used for spoilers only.

Seeing as the rule applies to the entire site, I don't think it needs to be relisted in the Blog Rules.

Bingo bango.

Just adding to the whole spoiler tag thing, the whole 'spoilering the approval images' thing sounds good in theory, but in reality does nothing; the computer still has to load those images when it loads the page, it doesn't load them when they pop out. So all it does is keep from stretching the screen; otherwise it's just pointless, and breaks the rules.

Would a non-spoiler spoiler tag be useful? Because most of my approvals stretch people's screens, so that's why they are spoiler'd.
Catra

Spoiler tags still aren't permitted outside of using them for spoilers. If the approvals in your approval block spill over or stretch the screen, you should probably link them.

Would double commenting be allowed if it's a repository topic? You know, to store information and such?

Double commenting is not allowed in any way, shape, or form.

Is it all right if I post a preview of an upcoming epic of mine in my blog? Like, say, the story's prologue, for instance?

 

It's just going to be a preview. The actual story will be posted in the Epics forum later. I was just wondering if I was allowed to preview it on my blog first :) .

Yes, you can. Previews (beside for contests) of anything are fine.

A question. Might it not be better to add, under the blog reporting section, that you can also PM the blog owner? Sometimes the owner of the blog where a rule has been broken may either not be aware of the rule, or simply have not seen the offending post.

You don't have to do that, it's up to you.

 

Both are a okay option, though if it's an offending post I'd PM BlogAlert.

 

Edit: DeeVee gave the right answer, below.

No, because all blog owners should read the rules before making a blog and making entries. Failing to know the rules is your fault- not ours.

I was thinking more along the lines of comments,as the the majority of BZP members don't approve comments, and as such may have simply been unaware of the offending comment.

Still not our problem. You should read all the comments on your blog.

It's my understanding that blog clubs have to be all-inclusive - people cannot be excluded for any reason from said club. That being said, I've seen members put people who join their clubs on "probation". This seems like a violation of the all-inclusion rule. Am I correct?
The Guy Who Came Back

If I've read the rules right, any form of excluding (that includes "probation") someone from a club is against the rules, and should be reported.

 

But I'd wait to here the answer from a Blog Assistant/Leader.

dviddy

Posted

Yeah, that's not okay. Please report those instances to BlogAlert.

I was just wondering if you are allowed to delete blog entries when your Premier Membership runs out.

The Guy Who Came Back

I think you're allowed, you just can't make new entries or bump old entries.

 

Edit: You can't, as DV said.

Can you remove people from a club if they are basically being rude, flaming, or trolling the other members or the like?
