Anything over 2M is fun money that can be used for anything... pets, mounts, crafted gear, swapping professions, etc.<br /><br />Currently sitting at 2.3M, haven't had any interesting pets or mounts on the BMAH on that server for a while. Might swap over a profession or two this weekend if I can't find something better to do with the surplus, it won't make much of a dent but at least it'll feel like the gold is doing something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-4203400474982446542013-06-21T08:45:54.070-04:002013-06-21T08:45:54.070-04:00I really enjoyed reading your perspective, it'...I really enjoyed reading your perspective, it's really well thought out, and I like the way you look at things. Adding individual blogs to xsin's survey would indeed be a cool perspective to see if there's a correlation between reading certain blogs and making more gold, and a quantitative method for determining it like that interests me a lot. <br /><br />Anyway thanks for all the ideas and if you'd like to give any further input, feel free to email me at phatlewtsgold@gmail.com. In my head I was having trouble figuring out how to break down the ratings alone, but now that you've mentioned some additional factors it's probably even worse. For example how do you compare someone who has been writing about gold making for 2+ years to someone who has just started out? I like the quantified thing the best now, but will have to give it some thought.<br /><br />CheersPhat Lewtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283348281162957528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-19345030812387945482013-06-20T18:24:43.643-04:002013-06-20T18:24:43.643-04:00Seeing some kind of peer review of the sites would...Seeing some kind of peer review of the sites would be great - although I'm not sure how easy places like the consortium might be to rate; then again they're not specifically blogs. <br /><br />http://xsinthis.net/2011/11/report-world-of-warcraft-wealth-survey/<br />contains correlations (voluntary reponses) of which sites people use and liquid gold wealth.<br /><br />One thing I'd like to see as a Negative rating is the use of "come here and win a ...." blogs.<br />My "objection" to these is two fold.<br /><br />If the content isn't enough to bring in interested readers or the author lacks enough knowledge and skill to keep going with a blog that they need to resort to getting post content this way then perhaps they need to rethink their plan. Loads of the entries they publish are - go to the ah and flip items (the entire post replicated)<br /><br /><br />The better written blogs with good content are sequestered. Either to Executive areas or for later site posts under the site authors name.<br /><br />(It's a different thing if you're seeing all entries/encouraging new bloggers to start out)<br /><br />Generally speaking some of the tips on these pages are great, and if people want to charge for their time or have "executive areas" that is their choice, but some part of me yearns for the days when the concept of a written composition competition was you could see all the entries - at least for some period of time.<br /><br />You have already mentioned repetition of other ideas. Some blogs (and I won't name them specifically) actually rewrite and reuse some of the major blogs each week - ie publish on Thursday what was published on Tuesday. The complete lack of originality bordering on plagarism is somethng I'd like to see pages down marked for. Not just the repetiton of an idea that may be years old, or being presented in a new way, but doing just rewriting the text with no referencing of the "original" source/author.<br /><br />Hopefully this idea will take off! <br />P.S. Don't forget you can turn your decks in on any character - might as well grind that rep on an alt who doesn't have it yet... <br /><br />AltysaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-68828858251203046892013-06-16T14:20:38.089-04:002013-06-16T14:20:38.089-04:00lol - I've no idea

MODERATING does not. <br /><br />Sure it may be easy to manually moderate your comments when you are just starting out or only have a handful of posts to watch over, but when you have a ton of posts it's near impossible to catch all of the spammers who try to stick BS comments and links in posts.<br /><br />Some days my moderation catches 20 or more spam comments in a single sleep cycle. If you don't auto moderate that garbage with links to gold sellers, hack sites, and penis pills will sit up there until you do catch it, and many spammers go back and stuff links into your old popular posts where you are more likely to miss it if you rely only on manual catches and removals.<br /><br />Not moderating runs the site down for you own blog as well as the experience of your readers. Moderating keeps your site clean and free of these scumbags to the benefit of the readers and the site owner.<br /><br />Like I said before moderating isn't the problem.<br /><br />It's people who censor relevant and accurate information to save face.<br /><br />Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-86985430897320037882013-06-14T17:23:33.143-04:002013-06-14T17:23:33.143-04:00Don't have an approval process then, just remo...Don't have an approval process then, just remove posts that are trolling/racist/hateful and so on.<br /><br />Sure it's easier to moderate, but for me it isn't better, it doesn't foster discussion of any kind if the moderator blows away anything he doesn't agree with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-47200683501560520842013-06-14T15:54:37.003-04:002013-06-14T15:54:37.003-04:00There is no way to judge that since only the blog ...There is no way to judge that since only the blog owner knows what gets approved and what gets censored. In this day and age it's easier to leave comments on moderation to fight spammers, so just bc comments are moderated doesn't mean the blog owner is censoring regular comments of opposing viewpoints. But I understand a lot of ppl do not publish when they are criticized on their tactics.
