Then on Saturday Afternoon we were droppin by some of our inbox droppers and ran across this on the Real Liberal Christian Church Blog – omg is all I can say.

TAX – Fricken Tax.. Co’mon Entrecard, why are you not telling us this can end up with us in a tax issue ?

Update 1 (March 7, 2009):
By the way, I’ve seen quite a bit of commentary now on the Internet concerning this issue of EuroYank and Entrecard. I want to point out to everyone that there is one huge difference between Entrecard and most other sites and that concerns the monetary value of the Entrecard Credits that are used in bartering and as a medium of exchange (money) and are even sold for legal tender. There are huge tax ramifications involved.

The IRS and many individual States expect every U.S. taxpayer to declare bartering income and the dollar value so “proper” taxes may be paid. The IRS could come in to Entrecard and change the whole affair, at least for a while.

All of the RLCC’s credits belong to the Church, which is non-profit and tax-exempt. For-profit bloggers are not in the same situation. Even non-business bloggers though are gaining dollar-denominated EC and exchanging those credits for advertising space and using it to buy and sell ad space and other goods and services on Entrecard’s site.

Also, when one is banned from Entrecard with a huge EC (Entrecard Credit) “bank” account that has been earned (worked for – many hundreds/thousands of hours for some clickers/droppers), it is questionable as to whether or not Entrecard owns those credits. Banned bloggers could file a class action suit against Entrecard. People do such things under the guidance of go-getter lawyers.

Also, what kind of documentation does Entrecard keep concerning banning blogs? There are people right now where their blogs are their sole means of any support. A blogger denied equal access to a commercial site such as Entrecard could make a case for monetary losses and pain and suffering and the like.

I’m not saying these things here to cause trouble. I’m just pointing out that lawyers would argue these issues pretrial and then before the court. These things are not decided until the highest court bangs the final gavel.

I hate all of this sort of stuff. It all stems from selfishness and the system. Jesus hates it too. We all need to rise above all the me, mine, more crap. It’s why I use Entrecard — to speak directly with people of, by, and for the system, just as Jesus spoke to the tax collectors and prostitutes, etc.

We need the Commons, not more dog-eat-dog.

This is what I received tonite in my mail since I subscribed to the thread, and Oh Yes, You Want To Read It ALL.

At first I was infuriated when he sent the ticket in and I read it-then I looked at his blog again and thought-he’s out for attention-which is what he’s getting. If you just let it go, he stops. He hasn’t left any additional comments on my blog since the first one, which was deleted.

So if he is only in this for the attention, then that seems like *a win win for everybody.*

* he gets attention and visits to his blog;
everyone who has interface with him gets clicks for it;
and of course the prime beneficiary is Entrecard which gets a whole lot of free press and interest because of their censorship of his account.

*so who’s loosing here ?*

only us entrecard users *who could use the attention for the things we are doing on our blogs* to call attention to what’s really going on in the Entreblogosphere or the world for that matter.

*I for one am WAYYYYYYYYYY tired of Censorship.*

*Censorship is the reverse of Freedom – don’t forget that*.

each of you he argues with. he is creating hits for you as well. so even though he may be a conspiracist; he is a solid blogger who knows what he’s doing, and believe it or not, he has some valid points in his blog.

*I however do not agree with any harrassment that may have occurred between anyone and anyone else; as feeding trollike behaviour only breeds more trollike responses.

Wait a freaking minute here.  Was Euroyank deleted because he broke TOS (no widget, music, etc.) or because someone disagreed with the content of a post?

That would be a good thing to know.

If he was deleted because of the content of a post, Entrecard should state plainly how they audit for content.  It’s still not a federal crime, but it’s a durned good way to chase people away.

I too would like to know the answer to this.  I will never be censored.  If I want to express my opinion on anything, I don’t care what the subject matter is,  I will do so on my own blog, that I PAY for. In my opinion stating my opinion is not harassment.  Not agreeing with someone else’s religion or political views is not harassment.  Getting into a fight in comments on my blog is not harassment if the person came to my blog looking for trouble and got it.  If I leave a comment on someone else’s blog that they don’t like, they have the right to delete it and tell me to kiss off.  That is not harassment in my opinion.

I read many many blogs a day, most of it I don’t agree with, and some of it I find insulting.  I move on.  Should I run to daddy Graham and cry that I have been offended? Someone wrote something that I don’t like and I am so freaking important that my views and thoughts and ideas should govern over everyone else?

I don’t know why this person was banned, but I sure hope it wasn’t because of his political, or religious views.

For all of you who get easily offended, and like your world nice and pure and sweet, please do me a favor and stay away from my blog.  I at times can swear like a trucker, and I shoot from the hip and don’t hold back on my feelings.  If you can’t stand the heat, get out of my kitchen.  But don’t you dare try to censor me.

By the way Graham, I think your a good egg, and I like EntreCard and find it very useful.  I just don’t like how this is all going down, it doesn’t smell right.  The only thing I want to know are the *specific reasons a person can get banned* from EntreCard.  Everything seems so vague.

Okay,

I was the moderator that deleted his account. It was deleted because I had received 4 TOS violation reports of people who had been personally offended by the content displayed on the blog. Whether image or text be the case, it is still offending entrecard users. We value our users.

There is no ban attached to said users account. He blog listing was merely deleted. Which is not permanent. He may reapply at any time and his blog will be sent through the approval process. If the moderator handling the new user approvals does not see his blog fit for continued existence in the entrecard community his blog will be rejected with the reason attached. However, personally I feel that threatening and otherwise putting down the administration team for finding valid reason in the deletion of his blog is not the way to go about getting undeleted. Especially flaming and blasting of entrecard administration team members.

There is no list of these offenses. However there are compilations of blog quality standards, that list out many possible rules for engagement however in this case it was a judgement call of: If the presence of this user continues could it be detrimental to the community?

So what your saying, is,  if I write something, and someone doesn’t like it, and reports it to you, and gets some of their buddies to report it also, then my account will be deleted?  Please explain how that is valuing me?  If this is how it works, and everyone can just report stuff that insults them and those people get deleted, how many blogs will be left in EntreCard?  Again, could you please explain the rules in specific detail on what is allowed and not allowed to be posted on blogs.

Today was the very time I visited the banned members blog, I went out of curiosity to see what all the hub bub was about.  I didn’t see anything that was pornographic (maybe I missed it?)  I watched two videos, one of school children singing praises to Obama and the other one showing almost the same thing happening in the Nazi Germany time..it was a comparison.  Didn’t offend me, because I am of the age, where I have the wisdom to know, if you deny history, or if you want to sweep it under the rug, then history has a way of repeating itself. I also wasn’t forced to stay there, I wasn’t forced to read anything on his blog, if he had a EC Widget I could just have dropped and ran. Or Not Dropped At All and NOT Go Back! Anyway, I got off topic.  I just want to know, what is allowed and what isn’t allowed.  This should be written out plainly and in clear English so that we can all understand the rules.  If we don’t understand the rules, then how can we be banned for something that wasn’t explained from the beginning?  If there are not set rules, then people can just group together and report whatever site they want to, saying they were offended and insulted by its content.

People who blog about sin are sometimes misunderstood as well.

this is all I could find as far as rules…nothing here about being able to get someone else’s blog banned just because you don’t like their views…

—Quote—
Main Rules

1.
No nudity: Entrecard, and its members blogs, are generally family friendly. Blogs with images containing nudity are not permitted. This includes nudity in advertisements.
2.
English only: Until we develop the infrastructure necessary to facilitate non-English language blogs, English is the only language allowed in Entrecard.
3.
Minimum 5 posts: Blogs with no posts, or less than 5 quality posts written within the last 3 months, will be removed.
4.
Content must be original: Reproduced content does not provide the specific qualities we are looking for in the Entrecard network. This includes both sites that use legitimate reprintable content such as “free articles”, abstracts and public domain content as well as illegitimate, illegal content such as stolen content or scraped feeds. Duplicate content, such as posts that appear on two or more blogs belonging to the same person is also unacceptable.
5.
No full-screen ads or popups: Blogs that include full-screen ads or popups will be removed. This includes any popup window that appears when the site has finished loading or when clicking to view an article. It is OK for links to display a popup window if the user clicks a link, e.g. FeedBurner email subscription, but popup ads or forceful messages asking people to subscribe without clicking anything are intrusive and therefore not allowed.
6.
No illegal file downloads: Blogs that link to illegally shared files, such as music, movies or software, will be removed. By “illegal” we mean content that you do not have the right to distribute. Linking to free, legal music and software is permitted.
7.
Entrecard widget must be present: Including the widget on your site is a requirement if you wish to participate in Entrecard.
8.
No redirects: Sites that use a redirect (such as tinyurl links) as the URL on their account will be deleted.
9.
No duplicate accounts: If you have more than one account for the same blog, the duplicate account will be deleted.
10.
URLs must be valid: Sites with URLs that do not work or are wrongly typed will be deleted.
11.
No autoplaying audio: This includes music that plays automatically when you visit the page, or short audio ads that come up unannounced.
12.
Content must be recent: Sites that have not been updated in 3 months will be removed.

Additional Rules

Sites that violate the above guidelines are fairly easy to spot. There are some additional requirements, many of which are subjective.

A1. Sites that are not blogs, e.g. indexes, directories, forums, or stores. Note: In some cases a site may be allowed if it is not a blog. The site must have a blog attached to it that meets the rest of our Blog Quality Standards, and the Entrecard account must link to the blog rather than the site itself.

A2. Sites where more than 50% of the content consists of paid posts, posts with links to online stores, or affiliate links. This quota is a total, so if you write less than 50% of each type of paid content but the overall paid content quota exceeds 50%, that is not permitted. Reviews are OK, but not if every post contains an affiliate link.

This is a tad disconcerning to me. I mean, its entrecard and its a privately owned entity and they have no real obligation to ALLOW any one to be on here. If its a private based company, they CAN do what they want..

HOWEVER, a racially motivated blog is a hard thing to prove because no only is there race but theres religion, sexual orientation, etc. there are SOOO many things to hate about other people!! And the thing is (in my mind) this is the internet and people should be allowed so say what they want SO LONG AS IT DOESNT INCITE OR SUGGEST VIOLENCE>

Why do you think that the religious rite is allowed to protest abortions on the street outside of the clinics? DO you have any idea how HURTFUL it would be to be a pregnant teen making the hardest decision of your life to be told that you are a miserable evil person who will burn in hell?? I can bet its not good.. btu then you have the people against it who feel that THEY are offended for mentioning abortion in a positive light..

The issue is, ALL Of these social issues are the SAME.. Unless someone is rallying people to get together and do something VIOLENT, it is all HARMLESS and very very LEGAL speach.

That said, entrecard IS allowed to choose who they want and what they want.. but they should EXPECT a backlash like this when they choose to pick out one blog to ban when they allow a blog like clitliturature (or whatever that blogs name was)

The thing is, content is SOOOO diverse with blogs that when you pick on blog to say its “wrong” there will be a thousand other point of views as to what is WRONG.

In my opinion it shuld be cut and dry like in the rules.

No nudity, porn, spam, no personal information given about someone who didn’t approve, no requests/calls for violence

everything else is POINT OF VIEW and is physically harmless. AND AGAIN.. its the internet, if you dont like it, don’t read it. You can have a rating like on stumble where you can rate your site, this way people dont even have to accidentally come across it, that would be IDEAL.. then when someone complains that they saw offensive material you can simply say “well, why were you looking at blogs with a rating over PG13?”

The only thing that might be offensive on Euroyank is his portrayal of Israeili influence in US politics.  2 Professors at Harvard released a report making the same case, albeit in a less inflammatory way.  I hope the editors are not equating his stance against zionism with anti-semitism.  Euroyank has a political blog, and in the political world those things are understood to be different.  To some they may seem one in the same.

It’s a good thing Rush Limbaugh,Sean Hannity,and Ann Coulter do not have a blog here they might be removed as well.

But running around making spurious legal threats against *all entrecard users* elminates any sympathy I might feel otherwise feel.
