Another Useless Blog Post!
Okay in honor of all the useless blogs, I am creating a 'useless' blog of my own. Or maybe not so useless after all. I think APSense could use a glossary of its own unique terms. I'm sure that some of you will recognize these.
BizOpflies-Members who jump from bizop to bizop, like barflies(Thank you EduEdu)
Blink-A link masquerading as a blog post
Blip-A One sentence blog post combined with a link
Blop- A one sentence blog post
Groundhog-A person in capable of posting anything except the same word repeatedly linke "dingdingding" or "goodgoodgood"
Litterbox comment- comment that contains nothing but a link
O.P.P. Karaoke-Copying and pasting Other People's Postings
Scrooging-Setting up a paid to task campaign and denying submissions without cause because you are too cheap to get up off the credits you owe.
Slover-Someone so enamored of spam that they refuse to delete it (Thank you Philippe)
Spamburglaring-Posting inane Spam comments in an attempt to steal credits
Spam Spew- Multiple back to back postings made by the same member on the explore blogs page
Spam turd-The contents that are contained in a Litterbox comment(Thank you bjantiques)
Spamutopia- Imaginary land like Shangri-la where spammers come from
Stink-A link masquerading as a status
Testispamonial- A Spam post masquerading as a testimonial(Thank you Warren)
TimberJordan Jerseying- Posting an article containing a random sprinkling of hyperlinks to Timberland Boots, Air Jordan Sneakers or professional sports jersey sales pages.
Tweeting from the Twilight Zone-Making inane comments that have nothing to do with the posted material
These are the ones that immediately come to mind. If theres a good one that comes to your mind just post it into the comments and I will add it to the list.

@Nifty "Cynthia", we don't earn credits for writing and posting Blogs.
My feelings is that if people don't like writing they should then get someone to write for them, the blogging section is getting messed up by onliner posts and links.
You can use your blogs to advertise but then you should do it in a professional manner, most of these oneliner posts have excellent headings, that shows me that the potential for writing a good Blog is there, but it is the LAZY factor that overcomes those writ

@Denis, the point is to get useful information in the comments, not just 3-word encouraging words. It's too easy to do that, it's a waste of time for the person who posted the comment, and the person who comes to see the comments and say "oh, just another 'great job' comment". We all wish to make money in IM to say "bye bye boss", and to do that long term, we have to start thinking like entrepreneurs, not social workers.

@Denis The point is to get people to think about the crap they post before they post it. Then just maybe they will start contributing comments and blogs etc that have some worth instead of just eat up bandwith.

Laplink : I went to look for the term to make sure, cause I remembered that yellow serial cable to transfer applications from one PC to the next in the 90s, well Laplink is still out there as a product to transfer files from an old to a new PC. Otherwise, I would have suggested "Hey, that link was sitting on my lap, I had to share it"

Ok, back after 3 days away, first things first, report abuse time, ok done, took 15 seconds thanks to the nice radio button choices.
@nifty, about when you wrote "For myself, I enjoy writing, however, I earning credits when I write, are we not all doing this (again, I need education here). I suppose one could pay for the credits, but if they are like me, they might be short on funds and looking for the least expensive way to build a business. "
If people just want credits by posting useles

Actually except where noted I thought the terms up myself. And still people came here and did the very things I mentioned in this blog. It's amazing just how many people are gathering honor points from posting pure garbage.
Since there is a translation button(That little red icon in the bottom tool bar next to the share button) Language is no excuse. Since the new spam policy went into effect some people have learned, some have disappeared and some are looking for loopholes like posting
