Is it time to keep blogs homework-free?

Hi Tim!

The system just isn't working.

New members are regularly posting homework blogs, coursework blogs, and academic-guidance blogs (4 today) which should all be on the forums.

And the supply of real blogs has almost dried up.

I suggest:

A threshold number of posts before a member can blog​

Unfortunately, Greg has indicated he is unable to do that:

Your other ideas are good ones. I report the blogs when I see them, to bring it to the attention of the Mentors. But some days I forget to check.

I've noticed a lot of members that post questions in blogs never return to post in the forums once they've been directed there. I have no idea what these people are thinking. First of all their decision to use a blog over the forum (one tiny link compared to a whole page of forums) and why they don't come back. I'd love to know how they think.
