So providing content isn't "interacting"? Any member of the community could've interacted with me as well at anytime. Non-interaction is not the fault of any one party. Plus, every time I see (or hear) "community" being thrown around it's simply the shield behind which those pompous jerks like to hide.

Providing content can count as interaction, but you have to understand where the line is blurred between self-promotion and spam. We're just trying to figure out how we define that.

Like I tried to say in my last comment, hubski is a user-moderated space. You can't get mad that the users are trying to moderate. That's how this website functions, and I'd say that it works pretty damn well most of the time.

No there isn't spam is useless crap or purely advertisement with no real value or relation to its tags. Self-promotion would only become spam when it becomes obnoxious and impossible to avoid. And yes I can, those "moderators" need to think before they act with at least the minutest amount of intelligence.

Dude, I'm saying that your content is not spam. It should not have been marked as spam. You are not a spammer. I'm saying that it, in many ways, resembles the SEO spam that we've been having problems with recently.

If you want to change the way things happen on hubski, insulting people is not the way to achieve this. I'm sorry if you've been offended by anything that happened on this post, but this is a thread full of people discussing your issue, plenty of them in support of you. If you want to change the site, discuss rather than deride. If you don't want to change the site, stop complaining.

I haven't directly insulted anyone that doesn't need to be insulted. No, I will not stop complaining and trying to attach motives to me without any implication on my part IS offensive.

I'm not asking you to stop complaining, I'm asking you to please try and be constructive. Hope you have a good day, it was a good talk
