Couple quick things on desphinn vs. spam, quoting from some previous comments:
>> you bet I'm going to desphinn pictures of cats or your favourite band's tour schedule.
Andy - that stuff is spam and you should mark it as spam. Don't desphinn it. Hit the spam button, please.
>> What about non-english articles?
The guidelines specifically say submissions must be in English, so those should be marked as spam.
>> if it's whack, or spam.. i'd say desphinn....
If it's spam, please hit the Report Spam button.
Generally speaking, I'd love for our users to stop being so afraid to use the tools we've given you to help keep the site valuable. If you don't like seeing spam on Sphinn, you have a tool that will help eliminate it. If you don't like seeing fluff on the home page, desphinn it before it gets there. We're all adults.
I am really proud to be part of such an amazing piece of content. I can't recommend this highly enough. If you have ANY interest whatsoever in local search, you have to read and bookmark this. Hats off to David for putting it together, and all the participants for sharing knowledge and ideas.
@ankitrawat - I edited your desphinn comment. No need to include personal attacks.
Oh, please Lisa. Out of 22 sessions, you seem to be picking on 1-2 of them. Out of ... what? 75 speakers? ... you're calling out maybe 4-5? And then you write a headline and article that just nukes the whole conference? Give me a break.
See, your comment above says "a bit darker than normal" but your headline screams "SMX Advanced Goes to the Dark Side." Which is it?
I saw Danny's comments when I read the article, but my point is the same: You've written an article that makes it sound like this was a black hat conference, which it most certainly wasn't. The headline is absolutely sensationalist, in my opinion. Perhaps we draw the line differently on sensationalism. :-)
Zarita - thanks for Sphinning this, and welcome to Sphinn. You should take a moment to upload your own avatar so you don't look like the hit-and-run spammers that submit here. :)
@onreact -- the SEO companies that come here and spam are the worst. Utterly stupid.....
BREAKING NEWS! Jim Boykin wrote on his blog! (And, as always, it's a recommended read.) Jim - more please? Thx.
Can I assume that Colbert and Jon Stewart have been completely de-indexed by now?
Thx for the submit, bledsoeut. And thx for the kind words, goodnewscowboy. It is kinda two posts in one, isn't it?
Ha! If it was linkbait, then I suck. Two links: one from this Sphinn page, one from SearchCap. Sad.....
@planetc1 -- problem is, I don't know how I'll ever see that message.
@vangogh - thank you. :)
Someone could get an answer to that question here: http://www.mattmcgee.com/update-still-not-on-twitter/
