How about rather than having a COAL list or Council we create the Blurt 9 circles of Hell.
We create 9 new Front ends for Blurt….
If someone gets in trouble for one of the following they automatically get booted to the next circle of Blurt Hell.
Eventually all the Like minded people will end of in the circle that they belong…
These are the 9 Rings of Hell on Blurt based on Dante’s Inferno….
First Circle: Limbo.blog
The first circle is home to the unbaptized and virtuous pagans. It’s not Heaven, but as far as Hell goes, it isn’t too bad: It’s the retirement community of the afterlife. Hippocrates and Aristotle will be your neighbors, so any attempt at small talk will probably turn into Big Talk in a hurry. You’ll have television, but all of the channels will be set to CSPAN.
Second Circle: Lust.blog
The wind-buffeted second circle of Hell is the final destination of the lustful and adulterous — basically anyone controlled by their hormones. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy were among its most famous residents during Dante’s day, but you can expect this place to be full of angsty teenagers and reality television stars by the time you arrive.
Third Circle: Gluttony.blog
Today’s forecast calls for plenty of icy rain and slush — a “wintery mix” for all eternity. You know those people whose Instagram feeds are full of carefully lit photos of artfully arranged entrees? You’ll probably find them here, plus anyone whose response is “I’m kind of a foodie” when asked where they’d like to go eat.
Fourth Circle: Greed.blog
This section of Hell is reserved for the money-grubbers and overly materialistic among us. According to Dante, those condemned to the fourth circle spend eternity fighting over money and valuables, so be prepared to meet all of your distant cousins who show up out of nowhere with empty U-Haul trucks moments the moment after a well-to-do great aunt or uncle dies.
Fifth Circle: Anger.blog
Dante tells us that the wrathful and angry souls of this circle spend eternity waging battle on the River of Styx. If playing pirates forever sounds like your idea of a good time, then the fifth circle can’t be too bad. Be prepared to hoist the Jolly Roger and go to war against that one guy in line who yelled at your favorite barista, and the road rage-possessed driver who very nearly rear-ended you last week.
If playing pirates forever sounds like your idea of a good time, then the fifth circle can’t be too bad.
Sixth Circle: Heresy.blog
Dante wrote that heretics spent eternity entombed in flaming crypts in the sixth circle, but heresy is kind of an obscure sin in modern times. There’s probably plenty of vacancies now, so let’s fill this one with anyone who goes bananas whenever “their” movie franchise or comic book changes in a way they don’t like. The air in the sixth circle is probably choked with ashes and anguished cries of “[X] ruined my childhood!”
Seventh Circle: Violence.blog
I’ll be honest with you, dear reader: Dante was being kind of a dick when it came to designing this level. It is composed of three rings. The outer ring is filled with blood and fire and reserved for murderers and thugs. That’s fine, but it gets sketchier from here. The middle ring is where, according to Dante, suicide victims go. They’re transformed into trees and fed upon by harpies (which I guess are somehow related to termites?). The inner ring, a place of burning sand, is reserved for “blasphemers” and “sodomites.” Like I said, Dante was a bit of a dick. How about we ret-con this one (Sorry, residents of the sixth circle…) and reserve it for the likes of the Westboro Baptist Church? If that makes me kind of a dick, well, I’ll live with that.
Eighth Circle: Fraud.blog
The eighth circle is subdivided into ten trenches. We won’t get into the specifics of who goes where (Too bad, Dante. That’s what you get for making me write abut the seventh circle) but here you’ll find con artists of all sorts. Dante described ditches, but I prefer to think of the eight circle as being a giant cubicle farm full of phone and internet fraudsters. Welcome, supposed “IRS agents” who insist on being paid in iTunes cards.
Ninth Circle: Treachery.blog
The final circle is a frozen wasteland occupied by history’s greatest traitors. So … Washington, DC in February?

I honestly think the POWER of who recieves vote rewards needs to left SOLELY in the hands of investors aka curating voters. THIS Coal List although under good intentions, takes away OUR POWER TO DECIDE who we want to give votes to. VOTES are not guaranteed so the presmise that they must take away the ability to earn from posts is somewhat presumptious. I understand trying to deal with plagiarism is a problem for the CREATORS of stuff, but again, the other users here should be able to know whats worth voting for and whats not. Just my opinions.
Yes. The COAL list is a slippery slope. It’s just that sometimes people profit from the stolen work and even identity theft of others. How do you deal with that ?
How would you like it of I create a new account @greenhousradio and started posting all your work as if i was you ? …. Your art, your podcasts, your posts …. you make peanuts but for some strange reason I make $1,000 per post from your work ? Then I start posting stolen photos of you and telling people that I am you and start scamming them for all kinds of stuff .. what should we do with this type of thing ?
