Poll: MBS Link Guidelines

---

I would like to get your thoughts on our link guidelines. We have about 520 links now. That's our largest blogroll ever at MBS. I'm pleased to be able to offer readers a broad variety of links to spanking sites reflecting different perspectives and types of content.

It's clear that many readers appreciate these choices and I have no plans to eliminate any active links. Quite the contrary, I'm contemplating whether it would be appropriate to loosen some of the restrictions now in place.

Here are the factors I employ today to determine whether to link a blog. I eliminate from consideration any blog that has one or more of the following attributes:

1. Sites that are not organized as a blog with dated posts
2. Blogs that have not been updated in two months or more
3. Blogs that are private or require a registration/subscription
4. Blogs that lack significant spanking content
5. Blogs whose primary purpose is advertising
6. Blogs that contain little or no original content
7. Blogs that depict real or fictional children or non-consenting adults as spankees
8. Blogs that feature extremely graphic or offensive content
9. Blogs with considerable text in a language other than English
10. Blogs authored or frequented by minors
11. Blogs that advocate abuse or exploitation of women

My question is whether these rules still make sense.

Should we consider relaxing MBS link requirements? Yes, it's important to treat everyone equitably No, but consider M/M spanking blogs if they fit within the guidelines Yes, perhaps recollections of childhood spankings are OK No, MBS readers said they are not very interested in other stuff Yes, the ban on foreign language blogs is unfair No, the current system is working Good grief, Bonnie, you already have 520 links!

If your answer is something else or some combination of these, I invite you to express it in a comment.

Many readers tell me they enjoy exploring MBS's blogrolls. I've fiddled with them for years searching for the right mix of capabilities and ease of use. Since I just updated the chronological blogroll to include color-coded categories, this is probably a good time to ask for your opinion.
