How to spoil a good blog

Posted on Aug 8, 2011 by Kareem in General Posts.

Ads2blog is the only blog that opened online space to the Kuwaiti advertising industry, and it seems that the blogger had sincere intentions. The blog as simple as it showcases artworks and published viewers’ comments. For years, the blog published all kinds of disrespectful comments, sarcastic replies and a tremendous amount of curse words and insulting expressions (all posted by people from the advertising industry). During the last 12 months, I have noticed that the comments declined to reach the zero (0) mark for most of the showcased artworks. Worse, the current hot discussion that takes place is about a subject that is entirely unrelated to the blog’s mission. Simply, some one has invaded and occupied the blog.

Whose fault was that? I believe that it is everyone’s- the lack of respect of the visitors to the blog and to each other, and the lack of content quality control of comments and used language. Sometimes democracy doesn’t work and leads directly to failure. But wait; despite this failure you guys have succeeded in one thing, spoiling a good blog.
