“Can I get anything questions answered anywhere”

Probably, but I’m not the one to say Yes. That would be inviting trouble :)

Knitting a tip.

I see the reasons that people report blogs for and they vary as you would expect given the number of blogs we have and the various reasons people will sometimes dream up. If you are a spammer though, there is one really important thing you need to remember.
Never ever use a ‘knitting’ tag. If you do your blog will be reported multiple times in a really short amount of time. No other tags has this effect. No other tag seems to have the level of ownership that this one does. Cross them and they’ll shoot you down and boy do they get – rightly – annoyed.

Of course we’ll get them on other tags but the Route 1 out of here could well be the foolish decision to use that tag.

WHY ARE YOU SCARED

I never really minded about all caps in years past. It was annoying trying to read usenet posts in all caps but that was simply because I’m not used to reading in caps.
But now – it really does feel like someone is shouting. I get the OCCASIONAL one where the word is in caps FOR EFFECT and I can understand that even though I don’t much like it. I can envision them hammering the keys just that bit harder as it to really make the point.

And sometimes it’s not just all caps, it’s a regular enquiry. No anger, no frustration, just a question. In great big letters. When I’ve replied I have sometimes pointed out that ALL CAPS is considered to be like shouting (MY FRIENDS NEVER SAID THAT) but I have yet to ask them to check their keyboard for a broken key. Hopefully I never do of course.

A blog was reported as Mature.
