GameSpot blogs are automatically posted on other Cnet sites.

We need a way to block our blogs from being viewed on TV.com, MovieTome.com and MP3.com while still allowing them to be viewed on GameSpot. Currently this cannot be done.

It's silly and boarding on embarrassing to have my blogs that are almost always about gamming displayed on those sites when they have been posted them here with the intention of other gamers reading them. Seriously, what purpose does it serve to have comments on R6V displayed on TV.com making it look like I posted it in the wrong place?

I'm willing to bet that a majority of GameSpot members don't even know that their blogs are posted on those other sites automatically.

~edit~ I fixed the title, it seemed a little over the top without the "Cnet" in it. ;)

That idea could work, when making a blog you could have a checklist at the bottom with the sites you would want it displayed on.

I personally just make my blog with thoughts to the other CNET sites (incuding stuff about my TV.com, MovieTome ect.)

That would be a perfect solution Phaz.
I think I would like the option to make one private and leave the others public also but I think your idea would be much simpler. Excelent sugestion.

Update on this.

I had not tried it on MP3.com so I gave it a shot and you CAN set your profile to private there without it changing the other sites so this can be done. I tried it on MovieTome ad TV.com previously and it also set GameSpot to private. Apparently MP3.com is separate somehow but the blogs still update to all 4 boards.

When GameSpot was redesigned, blog integration across all of the CNET sites was done purposely. I don't like it either, but I don't see it changing anytime soon.DrFish62

I also don't like it but I think all these sites are tied in such a way that trying to fix this would likely mess other things up(BTW, I know nothing of coding and such---just a guess on my part)

@DrFish62: Yeah and I know exactly why it was done. It makes it look like those other sites have a bunch of people using the site, for marketing purposes. I'm on the fence about it. On one side I'm like you and don't like it but on the other I'm all for making money so whatever. I'm not asking them to change that I'm asking for us to be able to block our blogs from being viewed on one site and not the others. Right now it's all or nothing. You either have the three sites show or not. As I discoverd last night MP3.com allows you to hide your profile without any effect on GameSpot, MovieTome or TV.com. All I want is to be able to do that with the other sites individualy.

@Dracula68: I'm not much better than you, I know just enough to be dangerous. It would be pretty easy to hide blog window information without removing it. I have no idea what doing what Phaz suggested would take but it still sounds like a great idea. What I've started doing temporarily is changing the text color on the MovieTome and TV.com sites to white making it more difficult to read. The fact that the blog type shows in a different default color on those sites demonstrates that some separation is possible.
