And I'm promoting what? Everyones post has an opinion. I wrote this in a laughing manner.
Rules and 'spirit' in the same sentence, I don't know...lol
Harvey, why do seem to scapegoat Obama and the democrats so much?
Your hub...it is against the rules of the forum to start threads to promote your hub.
Harvey, I'm not saying this was your purpose in the Post, but the simple fact that the link leads to your own Hub makes it LOOK like you're hoping a few of us (at least) will click on it and drive your view count up.
So that would be "what you're promoting".
I personally wouldn't do this because I'd feel it would cause me to lose face with my peers and colleagues on HP, besides which (just in case you don't know this yet), our greatest benefits come from Hub views originating from outside traffic (Google, Yahoo, etc.).
As your number of Fans continues to rise--meaning that whenever you publish a new Hub those folks will be notified--you'll automatically see more Comments on your Hubs along with a somewhat elevated internal view count.
Ghost, I'm replying to you because your response was the most compassionate. I am a novice at doing this but I have done it before in a different manner. I only put the title of my article on the forum, no link. The individuals that have complained evidently had no idea this was a title to an article. I have gotten over 300 replys, but I must say thank you.
Did you report it? I guess you did, so did I.
Not a bad article BUT you could have waited a few days to get a response whether people like it or not as quite a few people would have commented on your article if they have liked it and would have praised you there.

President Trump is back in the White House as our 47th President, and let me just say: he’s not wasting a single second. From the moment he took the oath again, he’s been fighting to restore American strength, pride, and sanity. This second term isn’t about revenge; it’s about results. And we’re...

I have written already some fifty hubs in the hub pages. Most of the hubs are viewed well but this hub has a extremeley low traffic. Can you point out why? I am open to strong but constructive criticism. China can break instead of its tremendous growth...

This might be my last forum post because I am tired. I can't be wasting my time beating a dead horse.HP is a business and they need to start treating their business more seriously. They need a task force to sit and brain storm about how to keep spammers out in the first place.I know that I have...

I have a bone to pick with the moderator staff regarding banning policies associated with conduct within the forums.I first have to say, I appreciate the role you play in keeping the debating environment civil and within bounds for us all.However, I had recently been banned and when I inquired as...

This forum is a place for you to post hubs that you think are clearly of low quality and need flagging. Committed hubbers should follow this forum and check these hubs posted for quality when they have the time. If a hub has been clearly copied (for example from a PDF file that the plagiarism...

For example: a Hub about Obama being the AntiChrist? (Cause his name rhymes with Osama!) Do we have to flag these Hubs? (And see the sick joke starting elsewhere all over again.) Are these Hubs also partly responsible for other dangerous and sick jokes like the "Osama Obama Shotgun Pool"...
