I agree. I think it is out of control. And I think if it continues, that traffic to FR may begin to fall.
IMHO, why couldn’t there be a more distinct section or area for vanities? When I come to FR I click on Latest Articles and scan thru them, which now of course, is polluted and diluted with vanities.
Why not require vanities to be posted in a distinct section, called perhaps, for the sake of simplicity, “Vanities”. Then make anything posted under “Latest Articles” actually be news articles plus of course, folks’ comments.
Ooooooo, I like that suggestion!
You're right: we should have a section for blogger-like or personal-type posts--but right now it's just a dream...
you know a moose bit my sister... and all that Monty Python Jazz...
