Is this necessary?

0ha ha ha!.........errr....sorry, guess this writer doesn't get a ban! i wonder how it passed quality control!
this is terrible!We do. We'd love more Hubbers to Hop Hubs. That would help a lot (reporting/flagging is not as helpful if these Hubs don't directly violate our TOS).
Thanks so much for offering your support!!! That means a lot to me (and us).
Do now.
Melissa, there's no way ever, ever, that I would make judgements about YOU or other MTurk workers. I KNOW that there are people who work for Mturk that are very capable. There have been comments here from some people who have talked about lack of skills and education amongst some Mturkers. Search back through the posts, you will not find that I have agreed with them.
My argument is, that if HP want editors they should pay the going rate. Eight to ten dollars an hour for someone with a degree in literature is not the going rate. That p&$££"&&" me off. I think it's exploitative.
Forgive me, my ethics are bigger than my brain
I've also been to Sri Lanka. I know how poor so many of those people are. I don't like to see images of women in "transparent saris" for profit. When I said that I thought using MTurk workers was exploitative, I stand by that. But the "sexy" pictures, well, they're in a different league.
Melissa, I just think that you should be paid more, whether you're working at home or not! Your skills and education remain the same, baby or not (how is baby btw)
I still love ya!The baby is wonderful.
He's going to be another special needs baby but we knew that was a possibility. He's a joy though. Best baby I've had so far.
I still love you too Hollie!

Just as an experiment I made a little hot aunty page. Advertising disabled!
So that was a waste of time.
I guess you can't write about Aunts.
This image was worth opening the thread.
Paul, I'm a pain in the a%$£, my comments are not directed at you personally, and I can well imagine the need, in some respects, to outsmart Google. But I don't believe that you can, honestly, I don't. I also don't think that you have stopped thinking about hubbers who no longer receive traffic. But I honestly think that you should face them properly. They might be moaning, but they are still here>They don't want to leave, they've loved HP and still do. I think you need to man up to them. Answer their questions and be up front. They've lost income too:(
We'll agree to disagree on raters and editors. Essentially, it appears that you're trying to envisage what the average searcher wants? Am I right? I've been writing a lot of articles on another site, it appears that the average searcher does not want to read about saturated, or searched for topics. Maybe that's our job, to introduce something new. Ask the community here to do that, and you might be so surprised.You made your research.
Good for you!
Paul, who are you rating for? Raters could be editors? Please do not change the language here. Before we go any further you need to make the distinction between the two. I'm honestly not trying to be inflammatory, but if you want an individual to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a hub, you're asking for editorial skills, not raters. In all honesty, I believe that you have editors here, on site, who will evaluate a hub based on merit, not profit!
I haven't been happy with the way things have happened at HP lately, but I do understand that there must be change. I get it! I also want it to work! Melissa and others are examples of how it could work. Please bring others into the conversation, you may perceive them as whiners, the almighty G may have sand boxed them. But they where once your bread and butter, and they could be in the future. Inclusion is so much better than the alternative

You made me smile
Perhaps if I write a disguting Hub about this, including such photos, it will get high traffic. I might even have the honor of being bitched about on the forums.

I really think this Idled hubs idea is ridiculous
When it was first introduced I was annoyed by it but made an effort to tweak my hubs to get them out of Idle status.

Could the "questions" section of hubpages be dragging us down?
When I look at the questions section of hubpages I see pages and pages of silly questions. A lot of the time, when I click on "unanswered" or "latest" I see that the same person has asked ten or so questions in a row. I suspect that in most cases this is because of the fact that...

Do you feel un-featuring hubs due to (lack of) engagement is fair?
