Dear all,

I am using b2evo already for 4 years and I still love this blogging tool and its community around it. One thing I really dislike is that I see from time to time a link to a KKK/"nazi" propaganda site on the frontpage under the recently updated blogs since some weeks. I am thinking for some days now how we can approach this as a community and I would like to hear your opinion about it. Could we at least disable the updates from this blog to show on the frontpage?
I am not linking this site publicly so if you want to see the site I only send it by mail or private message.

All the best for 2008.

marcok,

hate sites are NOT supposed to make it into that list. If you see one, let one of the mods or myself know privately and it will be removed expeditiously.

Thanks whoo,

I sent you the site as private message. It would be great if we could do more against such initiatives, but I suspect that the freedom of open source software implies the freedom to use if for propaganda purposes too because the GPL is not a political license at all.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

I'm not so sure about that. I think it is reasonable to take a stand on hate and porn if the core team decides to do that.

Pinging b2evolution.net

By pinging b2evolution.net to get listed on the site when your update your blog, you agree to be bound by the following terms of service:

1. You accept the administrators of b2evolution.net's judgement about whether a certain blog should be listed or not. Examples of situations in which we will *not* list you:
* The contents of your blog are offending to us;
* You are not linking back to b2evolution.net from your site nor giving us credit or support in any way (why should we link to you?);
* The charset of your ping cannot be displayed on b2evolution.net;
* We don't have time to check new sites at particular times;
2. These terms of service may be changed without notice.

That language has changed slightly but I can assure you that hate sites offend us.
