Hi! On twitter there is a person who makes a "daily paper" for GIMP, that's all well and good but that have articles that aren't related to GIMP at all. One of which has been going on for about a week or so...I was curious if this is going to hurt the reputation of the people they add in there because this is a pretty vulgar "article".

As you can see they use topics that I retweet from GimpChat, which I don't mind but I don't want myself and GimpChat associated with this kind of article personally. The thought is nice but things like that aren't so much.
They've also posted images that weren't very..."above board" too.

So I guess I'm curious is this bothers anybody else...

Thanks

~ God Bless ~

I agree (from the screen shot), it looks shady. I don't know how this "daily paper" works but I'm sure it's main motivation is not about Gimp but getting clicks and money, anyway possible, using other people's content. If it's a conflict I have no idea what can be done about it.

I've looked in to the profile (kinda by accident) but I saw that this person makes a lot of little "papers" and they have a few articles relevant and then stuff like pornography.

here's the gimp one: http://paper.li/hlehnerer/1300763824

These articles are nothing to do with Gimp Chat are they? If not, there would be nothing we can do about it. I don't do twitter, Facebook or any of those things so I guess they only involve people that do. Just a guess on my part.

I guess that this happened because some automatic process and the main meaning of the word "gimp".

Maybe GnuTux can block this.
Some info is at the bottom (Helpful Tips) of Mentions in tweets: what does it mean?
A frustrated bloggers take: Are we done with Paper.li yet?

Only when I retweet gimpchat things are things quoted not when I tag #GIMP in and of itself.

Well it says the site it's linking and it shows GimpChat.

I don't think many people would associate the ad with the site anyway. There's only a small percentage of people online that would even find that page, and, at most, only some of them would think it's officially partnered with GIMP Chat.

I believe GIMPChat has it's own Twitter Moko; best to stick with know true GIMP sites that have a little oversight to keep the crud away. Since I don't Twit or FB, I'm not the expert at this stuff; just a guy full of opinions. :)

IF it only happens when you retweet gimpchat, maybe stop retweeting for a while. Or maybe they follow you and you could block them from seeing your twitter and retweets?

Yeah, see if you can block. Or make a complaint to Twitter?

[sigh] Another reason to dislike paper.li. And Twitter hoes.
