Flouting the Rules
Published on July 11, 2017
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
Today I mentioned the Wealthy Affiliate blogging rules to a new member. She was grateful that I made her aware of the rules but in a private message made a very pertinent comment:
"I see lots of folks posting all sorts of things from private issues to whatever and I am confused..."
It appears that one of our members, who should know better, has been encouraging her to post links to YouTube videos.
This is wrong on several counts.
The subject of the posts is off-topic, it's niche related and it's encouraging people to leave the WA platform to go watch a video.

If any of the ambassadors or experienced members are flouting the rules then they are setting a very poor example.
In my opinion it's time to stop!
Stop breaking the rules and stop encouraging new members to break the rules.
We don't need your "thought/poem/song/quote/history lesson for the day". And, even more, we don't need your daily trio of off-topic blogs.
The rules are in place to protect all members of Wealthy Affiliate and they apply to everyone not "everyone else".
