We've all had the moment where we're surfing through the PMC blogs and can't help but notice how almost all of it is simply a copy off of someone else. Most of them are simply made by experience hungry users, who don't want to work for the level. It's pretty simple to generate exp on the blogs as the user The Adam Bomb puts it "Back when I did it, I just picked a topic the PMC kiddies would feed on, Google searched an image, and then slapped on a couple of poorly done sentences". If it's just something people write that many others will agree on, to grind exp, then it doesn't help the community in any way, which we call a waste of space.

It would require too much work to comb through the blogs every day, and delete anything not worth anyone's time, so how to fix the problem of poop-posters? "The problem is, people want the reward, they don't care about voicing their opinions publicly in a decent manner. Take away the exp side of things, hence the forums, and that is all sorted out." Snowylips and some other users that I spoke to on the chat came up with a simple solution of getting rid of the blogs and just having users use the forums. Without an exp reward, the only people who find it worth posting on the forums are those who think a good article is it's own reward. The forums have every section, and even more than the blogs has, and really the only difference is that it doesn't get featured with a big picture on the home page, which is something that simply aides the exp hungry. It's a simple solution on a controversial topic that will undoubtedly spark huge complaints, that will turn into flame posts on every article that agrees with the idea.

Sadly the issue with the blog has spread like a virus throughout the PMC. We see tons of traced cool person skins, hundreds of simple cobblestone structures, and loads of pointless servers, "I mean, on this site... probably only 10% of everything posted on this site is worth anything." as user MincraftGuysBlog puts it. Only the Texture Packs and Mods sections remain immune due to the fact that those things require a few solid hours of actual work. I hope you readers can see my point before hitting caps lock and slamming in derogatory words.

Diamond, cause you can't and it encourages bad quality.
