Free Pony Theory ~ Urgent: Need posting policy

We definitely need to develop a consistent policy,

what not to post. Specially regarding several labels. I don't have clear thought yet

but something to start with:

1. The big labels are getting desperate for cash. They gonna start coming for the blog.

2. We definitely need to be aware of "labels" instead of merely posting things randomly at will. (which label to avoid, etc) 90% of our posts are already OK. but there is small number that is difficult to do without spending time. We need to develop easy method to get to the last 10%.

3. musically speaking: what to do?

4. what to do with audiance relationship?

5. do we need to look at how our content/program is created? (whatever that is...)
