Forum:Blogging

In the Halt Blogging conversation, Scottie has brought up many good points and I now have a completely changed opinion, and I think we should all really think about this whole blogging tantrum.

Blogging gives users a feel of freedom, and if used as a journal, blogs could give users the option of individualism. Signatures, User Pages, Avatars and Fan-Fictions are all things that users are constantly destracted by, should we restrict them aswell? No.

Also, another idea that has been suggested is that we restrict blogging to just Call of Duty related things. Think about, if we restricted blogging only to Call of Duty pertaining things, should we not restrict avatars to only including Call of Duty related images? How bout signatures, should they to be restricted to only Call of Duty images? No, that would be ridiculous.

Another issue that seems to occur, is that everyone is complaining about Blogs clogging up recent changes. Well, a lot of things clog up recent changes; mainspace, user pages, fan-fictions talk pages. Does that mean we should ban Mainspace, Userpages, Fan-Fictions and talk pages from being editted? Nope. So why should we ban blogging because it clogs up recent changes?

Lets face it, none of us have a valid reason of why we should have blogs banned other than "we don't like it". Now, I still think that face blogs and relationship blogs should be kept banned, but as for the rest, I see little to no need of banning.
