It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.

Some ground rules before you leave a message

1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Misplaced Pages guidelines or rules, note that Misplaced Pages is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
4. There is no Rule 4.
5. Don't post when drunk. Seriously.
6. All communication sent via the "E-mail this user" link is considered public, at my discretion. Reasonable requests for confidentiality will be honored, but the whole "e-mail is sacrosanct and private" argument I do not buy for one solitary second. Do not expect to use that argument as an all-purpose shield.
7. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
8. Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
9. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
10. Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (--~~~~).
11. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.

Thank you. -- The Management.

Google Juice

Calton, I'm sure this sounds naive, but how does posting some random stuff on a userpage, like IOption500 did, get them "Google Juice"? I come across it sometimes, and generally delete those pages per U5, but I wish I could see the point of them. Bishonen | talk 15:59, 13 June 2017 (UTC).

PS, do you realize how unmanageable your userpage is from those templates..? See me posting, in despair, in two places? Bishonen | talk 16:05, 13 June 2017 (UTC).

@Bishonen SEO is always evolving but a long standing way to get better search engine rankings is manipulating PageRank (and to the extent that is now depreciated, other measures that measure website authority, quantity and quality of the links). Misplaced Pages throws off massive PageRank because so much of the web links here and it is seen as having huge authority. A link from a high traffic WP mainspace page with lots of inbound links is absolute GOLD for another website's authority and Google Ranking. I believe (and lots of SEO experts agree because they keep building these links) even a link buried in a "no index" user subpage of Misplaced Pages gives some valuable PageRank aka "Google Juice". All those pages with links to youtubers or non-notable companies are not just vanity, they have SEO value. Legacypac (talk) 10:42, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, Legacypac, that sounds very convincing. It's not exactly getting simpler, though! Bishonen | talk 22:37, 18 June 2017 (UTC).

I forget this is not well known. When I see a stub with 17 links to the posters web assets it screams Advertising Link Building Spam far more then the page that uses a little advertising speak in the text. We need a CSD for link spam or modify the SPAM one to explicitly call out link spam. Legacypac (talk) 22:52, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
