Don't want to spam but want to share some articles

[Theo Moreau]

There are a few articles I have up on my blog at Link deleted that I think this community could benefit from (especially the how to cure a hangover article for today 1/1/2011 lol). I don't want to be seen as a spammer though and I want to make sure I'm following this forum's rules.

So is it alright if I posted an article or two (never more than once or twice a week and it probably wouldn't even be that frequent) to share with the forum?

Thanks

No it's not. It's self-promotion and it's not allowed

So if the same article came from somewhere other than a blog I owned it would be allowed?

Yes

That seems like an incredibly shortsighted and poorly thought out way to handle things.

OK you seem intent on arguing here. I told you the rules, I PMd you the reasons why and you still don't want to accept they way we do things here.

You wanting to put up your articles is self-promotion. If you want to do that go to the anandtech advertisement dept and pay for that right.

The only reasons anyone would post articles they wrote would be to promote themselves to the world.

We're not interested. And this thread is now locked

It's not shortsighted at all. There are 10's of 1000's of writers; 100's of 1000's of bloggers, and all of them think their work is of a caliber such that everyone would be interested and want to read it. By allowing members here to post links to works found elsewhere and portions of articles, the members serve as a filter. Without that filter, this place would rapidly be filled with people who think like you do.
