For those of you who can’t wait until we get the official JRoller terms of service, here is my proposed (well, wishful) TOS.
No non-English blogs. That’s right. I don’t care if you like to blog in Arabic, Spanish, or German. Do us all a favour and blog in English. That way you don’t end up hogging valuable space on the frontpage with your gibberish. Of course, you’re perfectly entitled to BE Arabic, Spanish, German, and even Indonesian if you really want to be ‘out there’.
Automatic suspension for ‘this is my first entry’ type entries. Anyone who follows up the automatic FIRST POST with ANOTHER post saying the same thing gets a 7 day suspension. If you’re smart enough to know some small measure of java and to sign up for a JRoller account, you should be smart enough to know that you should just edit the default FIRST POST with your personalised boring crap.
No religion. Yes, it’s cool spreading awareness about those modern day jews, Muslims as people who take time away from their busy schedule of blowing up the occasional bus/skyscraper/embassy to do other stuff. It’s nice that Ramadhan is coming up soon and suchlike. Most JRoller readers don’t care though, so stfu.
You are required to make at least 1 in every 5 posts vaguely java-related.
‘I have nothing to say today’ is NOT a valid entry. If you have nothing to say, then follow through on that by saying nothing. Repeated offenders will have a 2 day suspension.
You shall restrict yourself to 2 politics posts per week. As a java developer, you have about as much insight into politics as Fred Grott has correctly spelt words. You watch CNN and Fox and assume that you now have a range of opinion at your disposal. In all likelihood, your politics are nothing more than pop politics There are millions of bloggers just like you out there with the same pop opinions. So…stfu.
' ' '
You will not start Blog About Your Cat days, or any other days celebrating irrelevance.
You will not link to javalobby in your blog. The frontpage link is sufficient.
If we all followed these few simple rules, your JRoller experience (and that of your readers) will be greatly enhanced, and we will be able to make a useful donation into the filthy cesspit that is blogland.

Blog entries that link to news articles which have been already been blogged and discussed to death by everyone else should result in suspension.

Damn, it’s good to be a gangsta! When you’re the prezident, you and your peeps can set all the rules. – LOL

I think you should be forbade from fixing the bullet lists, and the bullets should always reside outside the bounding box of your blog entries.
October 15th, 2003 at 1:36 pm
Each typo – one day suspension.
October 15th, 2003 at 1:36 pm

Arjun, doesn’t that qualify as advice? ;-)
October 15th, 2003 at 3:08 pm
Sorry, but……….. ‘I have nothing to say today’.

No English, Scottish, Irish, or Australian either please, just American lingo. No talk of soccer, cricket or any other crap like that either, stick with American Football or Baseball.
p.s. Microsoft is the only super-power, who cares what anyone else thinks. Your blogs are a waste of space.
October 15th, 2003 at 3:43 pm
Cameron, remember I was only adding to the list ;)
October 15th, 2003 at 4:46 pm
No more Fred Grott bashing.
October 15th, 2003 at 4:47 pm

October 15th, 2003 at 4:47 pm

October 15th, 2003 at 4:59 pm
You can tell it was an impersonation – his name is spelt correctly
October 15th, 2003 at 5:43 pm

Pathetic stuff. Are you the new Hitler?
October 15th, 2003 at 7:14 pm
I invoke Godwin’s law. This thread of comments ends now.
October 15th, 2003 at 7:35 pm
Nice comparison. Hitler was responsible for 6 million + deaths. Oh I know you don’t thinnk he’s going to kill folks like hitler it’s just a convenient way to try and discredit your opponent. Man it works too!
October 16th, 2003 at 12:37 am
Who are you to say this?
October 16th, 2003 at 12:41 am
Hani for President! Hani for President! Hani for President!
October 16th, 2003 at 9:15 am
Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
October 16th, 2003 at 12:59 pm
You left out: “Automatic Suspension and Public Flogging for placing goddamned fucking ADs in your blog entries. Automatic death squad visit for placing said goddamned fucking ADs in your fucking RSS feed!”

No sois el culo del mundo. Cada uno escribe en el idioma que le sale de la polla.
El español es uno de los idiomas más hablados del mundo, incluso en tu puta mierda de país.
Hazte un favor y no demuestres tu ignorancia a los demás.
Como sé que vas a decir alguna gilipollez respecto a este comentario, de antemano, ¡¡que te den por el culo!!.

I know Java as much as I needed for a nice applet, but now, since they extinct (EOLAS), should I leave?
C’mon, be serious, I’ll keep a backup of my blog just in case there are any chances your dreams come true.
I mean, if politics established this patent rules and these rules stole my daily bread, that I hardly got building nice-coloured applets, what should I do? Should I stay away from politics?
And if I pray to my Java God, that is the only one, and Bill Gates will never reach it, because he’s a satanic dotnetter, shouldn’t I be blogging about that?
Leaving the flames out…hey, a blog is a blog, you post about whatever you want; a Java geek has a live too and usually one blog. I didn’t came to your blog expecting to find the lost/ inexistent 3 CD’s of MSDN for Java. So don’t expect it from mine. You are posting personal preferences, so we’ll do.
