Not sure talking about affiliate links is the proper thread to do this
Well, thanks a lot for telling me you will never use (my non existent) affiliate links! You will be shocked about the email I get telling me to ADD them. I am still shocked about it.
Like I said, no time to look into this, it takes away from keeping up with the content. And I don't like to do filler posts.
But, I must admit, if I had any idea how long this blog would take...I would have stayed out of it!!
One day I will likely make sure my friends and family support me as I have managed to help them fly for free for so many years
If you don't click on mine please click on Frequent Miler's links. Content and non pushing should always be rewarded.
For the dear moderator: To keep this relevant, TBB does not censor.
I need to take my daughter for an xray of her ankle. Later amigos

Unfortunately, this forum is only to discuss external M&P resources, not this one.

In other words -- here's how these external resources are similar (and thus duplicating efforts, and even how well they are doing in duplicating efforts) and how these external resources are different?
Or as Flyertalkers can we simply dish it out but not take it, this transparency and scrutiny I've seen you write about so frequently?

Wouldn't it make sense for Flyertalkers to use Flyertalk as a reference point for those discussions?

And yes, one of those TOS is to not talk much about moderation lest you get censored/moderated.
Lord knows I have had my run ins with transparency around this issue here, and have paid the price in suspensions.
But, again, THIS forum is about external miles and points. There are places to talk about FlyerTalk's policies...this just isn't it.

That's a rhetorical question, there aren't any places, right? Because Flyertalk censors comments.
So be it, we don't have to like it, and we can still criticize bloggers for the same thing.
But it is hypocritical. It's hypocritical of Flyertalk to host a forum for bashing blogs [let's face it, that's what it is.. except that it's also a forum for bashing the other 'external resources' like TOBB too] when Flyertalk suffers from the same defects we bash these blogs for.
Internet Brands owns the original credit card affiliate link pimping blog. Flyertalk censors comments. Internet Brands produced embarassingly bad travel articles meant to spoonfeed the masses for clicks and views.
It's also hypocritical of folks frequenting this forum to criticize blogs and not Flyertalk for these failings.
And I should say, I *do* criticize blogs for them. This isn't meant as a defense of bad practices. It's a defense of rigorously applying our critiques (or shutting up).

Pray tell what are the places where we can talk about 'which Flyertalk forums censor comments?'

I get the biggest kick out of the "original credit card pimping blog" comment. When I was the only one is the credit card space, (started in 2009 with links) I was everyone's fan favorite. Things were still good when TPG got in the game with links in April 2011, but when the BA masses joined the fray in October 2011, how that has changed now that there are 42 "credit card pimping blogs"
It's called "over saturation". Plain and Simple

Income has been a nice sideline to my blog and greatly appreciated, but now that I found you, maybe I can pick up a few tricks to increase the bottom line.

People are getting a little ahead of themselves with the high and might moral code here.
The only Scumbags I have met recently are working for non-profits, now that is a different situation altogether.
