Blogging at BlueNC

What are sock puppets?

On the internet, sock puppets are alternate identities of one person that are used deceptively in an online community. We do not strictly prohibit multiple identities at BlueNC because there are valid reasons for some people to have a public identity and an anonymous or pseudonymous identity. We do however ban the creation of multiple accounts when they are being used to create a false sense of support for or against a person, organization or issue

Can I Use Someone Else's Photos or Graphics in My Post?

There are really two sub-topics here: rights and etequitte.

RIGHTS: You should check into the license on any photos or graphics you want to include that you didn't create. If you don't find out otherwise, assume that someone owns all rights to the picture. If you don't have the right to use the image, you need to ask permission, or stay within the bounds of "fair use" (as described in some more detail in the FAQ about quoting other sources).

How Many Posts Can I Have on the Recommended List?

Every one of your posts that meets the recommended list criteria (as posted at bluenc.com/popular) will be on the recommended content page. The top three will be on the list that appears in the sidebar of all pages. Other than these, there is no limit.
