What does the spam button below an article do?
The spam button allows users to mark an article as spam. When enough spam votes are received, the article will no longer be displayed. So
don't post spam. Posting articles that are advertising only is considered spam. If you want to sell something, write an article or link to
an article reviewing the product or service.

Does CMDTAB limit how quickly I can post comments like other sites?
No, we don't and frankly, we don't know why other sites do. Feel free to post all the comments you want. There are lots
of stories and you can comment on as many as you like.

Your blog is directly accessible at http://www.cmdtab.com/yourusername

What are tags?
Tags are labels that you can place on an article to better organize them for the community. Tags help in the search for articles. You can use
multiple tags to associate an article to various things. Separate tags by using a comma between tags.
|
Do I need to put tags for articles that I post?
No, you don't have to. On CMDTAB, tags are an additional option that help when users search for articles, but are not required. If you
have already mentioned the word in the title of the article, then there's no need to add a tag for the same word.
|
What is a tag cloud?
A tag cloud displays the popularity of articles based on their tags. The bigger the word, the more popular the tag has. Tag clouds show
what is popular based on the tag.
|
What does voting an article do?
Voting an article will make the article appear in the recommended list on the front page. The more votes an article has
the better chance it has to make the list. Popularity does not control which articles make it to the front page though.
|
How do articles make it to the front page?
All articles will make it to the front page. Articles are rotated from the queue to the front page every two minutes. This keeps CMDTAB from
becoming stale and boring.
