Where should I comment if I see duplicate forums for the same article?
Hello Beautiful Souls,
As we all know, we share each other's articles on forums in order to receive comments. I believe it is a very good way of keeping the community together and to keep the spirits high until comments are restored satisfactorily. One thing bothers me, and I'd like to bring it to everyone's attention.
Recently, I have noticed that many people are sharing the same articles on forums. It's mostly because forums aren't being created under the appropriate topics, I believe. People, I believe, can start their own forum post for their articles by starting a thread with a thought regarding their new article, and the first person who reads the forum post can share the link to their article on the person's forum
The only issue HP sees is that we can't share links to our own articles, but we can discuss them. This way we can get comments and can easily stay connected with the community as well. Posting forums under wrong topics is not appropriate and it is something that HP does not allow.
I think everyone can start their own forum with a thought related to their fresh article and the first person who posts a comment on the forum can share the link to the person's article by pinning down the original post. I believe it would be easy for all of us. What do you think?
Posting forums under wrong topics can result in a ban, and HP forum moderators have the authority to delete the forum discussion. I guess I can't see it of any help. The only issue is that Mr. Bill does not use forums, therefore anyone of us can take on the responsibility of creating a forum for his mailbag each week.
I'd like to hear your opinions on the issue. If anyone has a better suggestion than this one, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
Blessings and Love to my HP family!
Thank you so much for your kind words, John. Yes, I believe we should try this way. HP moderators can be bothered by the current situation, which can result in a ban, and they also have the authority to delete our forums, So I really can't see it of any help.
I appreciate your very kind response.
Blessings always!!
I'm not sure we are allowed to do this one.
This is message I had received from Matt.
So, I think I'll stick to posting everyone else's work.
Not sure...guess we need to look on forums first so we try not to duplicate or let Hubpages delete ones that are duplicated.Thank you so much for your kind response, Bredz. I respect your opinion.
What I think is that HP itself would not be happy to have so much forums on the same article under different topics.
I think we can send an email to Matt once again regarding this issue. I am sure the team will try to help us out in this regard.
When we can discuss our articles why can't we share a forum discussion. It's just that we can't share the links to our articles, for this purpose, maybe someone else can do that for us by making a comment and posting a link to our articles. I don't see any problem in this.
What do you think?
Blessings and Love!!!
Yes, I understand. This is because they don't want us to promote our own hubs, but even in this case technically, someone else will be doing it for us
because someone else will be posting the link on our forum to start the discussion.
No, no. It is not about sharing links. It's just that forums are becoming disorganized, and then many of us are not much familiar with forum rules and are posting similar discussions under multiple categories.
Forums are getting disorganized because discussions are being posted under the incorrect topics and are more than one for the same article.
This can cause the deletion of the forum post. HP moderators can aslo mind these activities. Furthermore, if we continue to violate forum rules, we can face a ban. I believe we need to look for a way out.
If everyone agrees to my point I can write an email to the Team to see what they say. I believe we should stay careful.
This is just my opinion. I would love to hear your thoughts as well.
Much Love!Linda, thank you so much for your very kind response. The idea I suggested is that everyone can create their own forums with a thought relevant to their new article, and the first person who will post a comment on that forum can share the link to the person's article by pinning down the original post. I believe it will be simple for all of us, and there will be no duplicate forums.
We can only share a thought, not the link to our articles, as the team stated that we can discuss our articles. If we can discuss our articles on forums then I think we can also start a forum discussion with a thought about our own writings. That makes sense and is logical in my opinion.
Many Blessings and Love to you!Oh! Please don't be afraid, Bredz. I'm not going to do anything unless the community approves my point. If it makes you unhappy let's quit this discussion
Be happy!
Lots of Love to you!!!So sweet! I really don't want that cyber cookie monster. Lol!
You are one of my very precious friends.
Lots of Love
Hugs!!!
I think we can continue the way it is. Everyone just has to take some time to check before they post a forum that someone else hasn’t already posted it.
Thanks a lot for sharing your beautiful thoughts with me. I appreciate it very much.
Blessings and Love to everyone!
