Let's remember we had this debate befor= e and it lead to the rules in the "Add Your Blog" popup, under which this b= log post is currently fine=2E

If you want the rules changed you need= to make a good case for why the situation is different and warrants reeval= uation, otherwise you're tilting at established consensus and wasting time= =2E


Cheers,
Eike

Dear Community,

I'm 100% sure this topic came u=
p in the past due to the same blog, but I
can't
find it on the mailin=
g list, so I assume it happened on forums or chat:

currently the top=
 blog post on planet=2Ekde=2Eorg is about voting for a
specific
polit=
ical party=2E I understand that in these times there are many countries
=
with heated and important political debates, and some very important
glo=
bal
topics as well=2E However, these already occupy all the news site=2E=

Now if every blog appearing on the planet would target a political subj=
ect
that is very important to the blogger, planet=2Ekde=2Eorg would be y=
et
another
political news/opinions feed=2E

If I want politics,=
 I go to one of these=2E If I want to read about KDE, I
go to
planet=
=2Ekde=2Eorg=2E

Please dear bloggers: there are categories, and you =
can choose which of
your
blogs do show up on the planet=2E I know tha=
t some topics are very important
to
you and obviously you are free to=
 blog about them, but please keep the
planet=2Ekde=2Eorg feed free of it=
, so it doesn't become a mess where it's
hard to
find the content peo=
ple actually go there for=2E

Thanks and kind regards,
