Dear Hubski I am very sorry to hear that my (roughly) weekly posting of the content of our RPG blog has caused such division amongst the community. It was never my intent to bore or to offend. I have a selection of sentences to express: * In future the 6d6rpg account will be making a greater effort to engage with the Hubski community. I've found this difficult in the past because of the quietness of the #RPG tag. I'll start browsing global more often and hopefully find something I feel I have something to contribute to. * A good way to help me engage more with the community are comments on what I've posted, of which there are few. What #RPG content does Hubski want to read? I'm always on the look out and am receptive to new ideas for stories and adventures. * All posts by 6d6rpg are hand posted and are not reposted here by an SEO bot. The text around the post may be similar because it is damned hard to write good copy and I tend to copy+paste what little I have. Yours @6d6rpg
Well, that was a very nice comment, thank you for posting it. I want to mention that from where I sit neither yourself or Rangergames has posted anything that is at all controversial or worth blocking or banning etc. Hubski exists for people to share personal content. We welcome it. There is no doubt that you will get more interaction from the community if you're more involved in it, but that is a suggestion and not a mandate. We have tools to combat the wrongful tagging of posts as spam. Namely, the community tag. If users don't like a particular site, they can either ignore the user or the sites domain. I think that more than anything what this entire thread is showing me is that people aren't aware of the tools at their disposal. If they are aware of them, perhaps they are not using them correctly. Also, there seems to be a disconnect in what is and is not "permissible" on Hubski. If someone has a website and they want to post links to their website, go for it! A lot of time and work goes into making those websites and that original content. If it's good, chances are people will share it and interact with it. Another Takeaway is that if someone tags something as spam and I am not filtering the spam tag, it should have no impact on me. We discussed much of this on our Hubski team call last night and there are some corrections coming. But, please don't think you've done anything wrong. Personal content is not a sin
That's actually a very thoughtful response to all of this noise. Thank you. If it makes you feel any better, you're not actually causing all that much division. Different members on here just view content differently, as is evident in this thread. Besides, Hubski users love to discuss Hubski meta. I think it's a reflection about how much this place actually means to a lot of us. While I can't say that I've read any of your postings (though after this positive post I'm inclined to check you out), I do game a bit myself. I mostly play D&D. I cut my teeth on 2nd ed. (I don't miss THAC0), loved 3.5, hated 4th, and am indifferent to 5th. One of my buds is an avid gamer, playing an RPG ruleset that catches his fancy, mainstream or homebrew. I've been trying to get him to join Hubski for forever, so I might point him your direction to get him interested. Keep being awesome and I hope you have a good day.
