This was specifically created to post hubs. That proves my point. Could I start a posting specifcally created to post hubs? I think the answer to that is a big no. The powers that be can break the rules when it suits them.
Yeah - anyone would think they owned the site and made the rules.
Bastards - they are out to get you, I am sure of it.
Essentially Pete, nobody's going to bite the hand that feeds. Even I'm a little worried because as with you 'different rules for different folks' has always been something that leaves a slightly sour taste in my mouth, but I haven't been at HP long enough to know that saying such things is safe, and won't get you booted. And despite this little setback I'm really starting to quite like Hubpages.
Well, you need to read between the lines and work out what is appropriate - or not. Had a few links snipped myself, but taking it personally is not the way to go.
Like I tell the people who comment negatively on my blog or hub. - I am the one with the delete button - so I always get the last word .
Fair comment, I know what you mean, having a link <snipped> didn't bother me in the slightest, it wouldn't have brought me any benefit, it was just the fact that in the very next thread there were nearly 500 promo links, and I didn't see the RED text and warning appear there (here). lol
But like you say, he who have control of that delete button makes the rules, and that's fair enough, if I wanna play by my rules I'll have to go make my own HubPages (and quite frankly I can't be arsed).
This could be turned into an official HubPages quote.. Somehow... Ha..
The one with the delete button always gets the last word.

I think the difference is that the purpose of this is for the challenge. The only other time this was done was for the HubLove contest, if I remember properly. For contests and such, it's a little different than for no reason but to post links to hubs.
Oh, and you forgot to mention the HubMob thread where we are allowed to post links to hubmob hubs. There are special threads where you can post, but they are open to everyone who wants to contribute special challenges...hardly "different rules for different folks"
These threads are not just by individuals who think their hub is the greatest thing ever written...
But my hub is the greatest thing ever written....relative to who is reading it!!!
I took two whole days off and went and did some gardening on Manitoulin island for the seniors....what a nice break.
My last two...

Hubpages and Search Engine Ranking
I hate those new gadgets....took 50 pics in two hours and lost them on one click of the wrong button.....sheeeeshhhh
Oh, momma! Look out now!
Look who finally hit 10 Hubs (5 in last 2 days).
Finally catching up and I actually think that I might have some type of strategy getting ready to start here. Uh oh.
Active Headphones
Hup, if you plan on completing the challenge, I hope your new strategy works. You're falling behind. ;-)
You forgot to add the hubchallenge tag.
:-) Welcome Good luck... I think you should aim for 5 a day, at least. Ha.
Looking at some of the hubs posted for HubChallenge, there are some pretty bland ones on there with just maybe 300-500 words, the HubChallenge banner, and very little content to keep a reader on the page for long. If you did a bunch like that, you could pop them out real quick. Although 100 of those would probably not be worth the effort in terms of a financial reward in the end; but hey some studies show people will click an ad if there isn't enough content to answer the question, and the ad looks more promising. So, who knows...
No thanks, darlin' I'm going for quality.
Here's my last one:
Car Loan Refinancing
Free Online Math Games for Kids
I think this is number 6? No way I'm hitting 100 lol. Decided to sign-up for a few summer courses and I don't have as much free time anymore.

I'm almost there... May see how far I can go as long as I don't let my other online duties fall behind. Today, I'll probably be focusing on them since I've at least almost made my 30 hub goal.

I've completed my thirty hubs; that and a nickle will give me a nickle. The only hub I would like to post is my hub for peace. This is the brainchild of Paper Moon and it is the most worthwhile challenge you will ever find.

Join us; answer the Hub for Peace request. Tell your feelings about the people of the world and how we can bring them together.
I have a few projects that need attention this week, so I'm falling way behind with these hubs. Oh well...here's #15 (I think)
http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Salsa
Here's my latest hub:
Tweet of Honor
I can't believe everyone is weaseling out of this challenge....
That's hub #159 out of 300. Why stop at 100 in a month when you can do 300?
Exactly. Although - I am starting to fade.
I'm interested in seeing how much money everyone will be making from it.
But yeah, I can imagine it could get tiring after a while. Just hang in there for another ten days and you'll be done...and richer for it.
I have lost count. Around 25-ish I think. Only another 75 to go.....
haha oh...you're doing the 100?
You should strive for the 300...trust me it's worth it. Okay, now i'm off to find out how to buy snake oil on lbtrader's new hub...
How on earth do you have time to read anything - seeing as you are doing the 300? Only another 266 to go for you though..
There is already a group of people doing 300? Well my goal was to just up the ante, so I'll have to simply add a zero to that.
3000 is my goal.
And, er, I'm joking...
I thought the whole comment "That's hub #159 out of 300" would have given me away haha
#5 of 30 only 25 to go http://hubpages.com/hub/Gala-Bingo-Lottery-Winner .....jimmy

Are you in the midst of a Hub Challenge? Fantastic! Should you like to share the Hubs you have published as you continue along on your epic journey, share them here. Please do not post Hub links in other threads or start a new thread for individual Hubs. That makes things messy, and makes it harder...

Take one of your old hubs, update it with new content, better photos, improved titles and add some additional modules (make it a stellar hub effectively) and then post it here for critique!

I understand some people are worried about the "antiHubChallenge" or whatever it's called, and I just wanted to say something on a personal level to get my own thoughts out in the open about it. And this is my PERSONAL view - yes, we do have a HubChallenge team and we...

I have been writing for over 4 years at hubpages and in that time period there have been many changes. What I need to do and I'm sure many of you also need to do, is update old hubs that were written when I did not have a very good idea about how things work online. So now I will sit and update 4...
