This description has been out of date for a long time, and I thought the Forum team had updated it a while ago. Might be a merge issue that reinstituted some old language, or maybe we updated in some places but not others.
While Iām no longer a moderator, I should clarify that we never used āPersonal Blogā to ātorpedo a postās visibilityā. If we thought a post shouldnāt have been visible, we moved it back to a draft (many instances of spam, exactly one instance I can recall of an infohazard concern). Otherwise, itās always been up to the voters.
Personal Blog is the Forumās way of classifying:
a) Posts that the authors want to be less visible (you can ask to have your post labeled this way in the post editor) b) Posts that arenāt really about EA (although, as with any classification system, there will be weird in-between examples)
Everything else is Frontpage by default.
Iāll let the online team know that the description is wrong at the moment ā thanks!
