I am afraid your blog post would be considered spam.In summary, the conversation discussed the removal of a blog post about the Saturn V Rocket due to it being considered as advertising on Physics Forums. The writer questioned whether it would have been better to lie and pretend to have stumbled upon the blog, but ultimately did not want to do so. The post was taken down due to the forum's policy of not allowing links to external blogs. The moderators stated that the post would have been removed regardless of the content and that they try to maintain consistency in their moderation.

I recently wrote a blog about the Saturn V Rocket and posted it here with a link to the blog where I wrote it (which is in a different forum). The post was taken down as advertising. Is this really Physics Forums policy? Would I have been better off lying and saying something like "I came across this blog and it was interesting". I don't want to lie. I don't feel I'm doing anything wrong here.

I spent days researching and writing the article. No registration is required to view it. Basically I'm saying, I wrote this, I'm proud of it, please look if you're interested. Is trying to make a relevant audience aware of my hard work really considered spam?

Judge for yourselves. Here is a link to the blog:

Unfortunately this new forum version no longer allows blogs and we have a policy not to link to blogs since we have no control over the content. I understand how you feel. It's not a critique of your blog

Closed pending moderation discussion.

If it makes you feel better - link would get deleted for exactly the same reasons Evo posted above. We do our best to be consistent about the way forum is moderated.
