Ricard: You could have them on the site as "IR Reps", not as contributors. A 3rd category different from both regular users and full blow SA contributors.

Google is getting so powerful, it scares me. Microsoft was already so powerful, it scares me too! Which search engine to use, which search engine to use? I guess the one that will pay me to! Go Microsoft!
It's cheap, spammy advertising. The title was very misleading and sensationalistic. True, it got me to click on your post. But it didn't leave me impressed. My impression of you decreased because of it, not increased. And I did add you to my follow list, but only because I was curious to see what your response would be. I come to Seeking Alpha for articles about finance. I'll go to Huff or other sites if I want to read about politics, sports, etc.
This instablog post of yours is entertaining, but not from a respectable point of view. I wouldn't be surprised if some of your followers were following you because of this. You are a talented writer, stick to the good stuff and don't bother with these silly antics - mudslinging and fake headlines. It only damages your standing in the financial community here.
Glad to hear you aren't as upset as you sound. But I don't think you are being fair - Seeking Alpha is very successful with millions of readers and thousands of authors (including you). They must be doing something right :)
And remember, this is a financial site. You could always submit the article to other sites like Huffington Post.
Great article James. But what does the US education system have to do with investing on Seeking Alpha? I'm afraid in this case, the editors were right to leave this on your instablog. Don't get so upset over it, it just makes you look silly and unprofessional.
Jasper, you are a witty commenter but let me give you some advice my dad used to give me - don't blame others for your own stupidity.
Lot's of people are technically inept these days, there's no shame in it. So don't go blaming everyone else for your own shortcomings and don't pretend there is some big consipiracy trying to keep you off of Seeking Alpha because of some mysterious secret requirement that you can't name but later admit never existed at all. Talk about a desperate plea for attention.
I had a lot of respect for you until I read this post and your subsequent comments. It's a good thing you couldn't figure out how to submit an article - if SA rejected it, you'd probably take out full page ads accusing them of all sorts of unspeakable evils.
Spammers are the dregs of the internet and ruin it for everyone. And for what? Does anyone ever click on those stupid links? The likes of Cetin should be banned from cyberspace. Let's all go to his site and spam it with ads for Viagra.
