As a companion thread to the stickied Player Review recommendation thread, I think it could be a good idea to also spot some of the good bloggers that are still overlooked. Many of them don't attract the attention they deserve, with an average of 0-5 comments per entry, whereas other pointless ones gain a popularity contest - just like TheCritic9392 rightfully stated in his latest soapbox entry. I totally disagree regarding his first pet peeve, Major convention blogging, but pretty much nod the rest of the article.

I don't know, but perhaps the community managers can't ( or lack of time ) track all the stuff written each day, even by the most outlying subscriber so if you know an overlooked blogger worth a good read, please let us know. Guidelines:

-quality posts, mostly gaming related;

-no more than an average of 0-5 comments per thoughtful entry;

-not being spotlighted yet in the Soapbox feature.

Furthermore, perhaps GS should acknowledge the best bloggers with an additional emblem, à la top reviewers, taking into account the whole journal, not just one striking editorial. I'm not just talking about myself; I write for the pleasure of it regardless of being ignored or not - but of course we all want a better feedback. Comments are welcome; I also want to know about your blogspottings since I, myself lack the time to check elsewhere than my friends list from which I can suggest a couple now: jervo and Darth Homer.

I agree with most everything, but maybe not entirely the gaming related part. Many users (I'm just using myself as an example) write long detailed blogs about things that go on in my life, and they're gaming related about... 20% of the time. It just seems right to highlight blogs other than the just best editorials.

I agree with this. We need to point out and highlight blogs that are not editorials that are worth reading. The recommendation thread will help little know users get noticed. Hope this idea gets accepted.:wink:
