I have long since had a target on my back. Guess my voice is a little too annoying ;)
As for the recycled posts... and like I said above:
I think it is ridiculous that some read worthy content that is years old cannot be republished... yet so much other crud is acceptable around here. In fact, this is the ONLY space I know of where the re-publishing of your own original works is treated like some kind of deadly sin.
Why is there not a turnaround time for things that can be shared again.... considering the high turnover of members Hive has....?! I would far rather enjoy a really good old piece of writing than sift through a lot of the bollocks that people here put out and call "blogging".
Who makes these decisions / rules if nobody is "in charge"........
