I believe it's a site to discuss financial topics. Stop trying to be a jerk on a web forum. Oh, and I wish I could get stories published on yahoo... Any suggestions?This is not a forum to continually post links to your Yahoo published stories.
Over half your posts are just links to articles on yahoo written by the exact same author.
Stupid Article.Check it out and read the great comments at the bottom...

Define "good articles"And - - I agree with tsai: I think you are only on this forum to drive traffic to your yahoo articles.
That would be fine if they were good articles.
This, however, does not seem to be the case.
Stupid Article.
I will summarize so no one else has to waste time reading it:
The Author had a lot of credit card debt.
Paying the minimum payment did not bring down the principle balance.
The Author then decided to pay 4x the minimum payment per month.
The credit card was consequentially paid off.
The End
And besides this total train wreck, all my other posts started great conversations. Either get in or get out. This thread is obviously dead... Thanks you two. AdiosMost of the articles he links to are like that.
Of his last 10 posts, 7 were just links to yahoo articles by the same author. He writes a vague title and just posts a link without going into further detail what it's about.
Just look at this thread...."Check out what was on yahoo a month ago" with absolutely no description what the article is about.
Don't worry, I'll find you more authors. I would hate to break your forums posting rules...
I subscribe to a few different authors and their blogs. Anything from sports to politics. When I get an email update that I find interesting, I like to open it up for conversation. I frequent a few forums, not just this site. Either jump into the conversation or not. I could care less. Like I said, I have started plenty of threads that lead to pretty good conversation.Why don't you disclose your relationship with the author or mention that you are one and the same?
The Yahoo Contributor Network is a way to make money:
http://contributor.yahoo.com/help/earning-money/
Any relationship you have to that or any other author, ought to be disclosed. If not, you are in clear violation of many rules here:

Most obvious: "+ All users promoting anything they have a vested interest in must disclose this interest."
So what's up? You wouldn't be the first to post links to their own articles - it is hardly a big deal unless you fail to disclose.
