Over the past few days, I have noticed that some people (myself included)are genuinely interested in compiling news articles and posting them on the forum.
But i have noticed that some of these articles never receive a reply and the whole forum is kinda spammed.
IMHO, It wuld be helpful if we had a seperate forum/section for general news articles. Mobile phone related news can be posted on the relevant areas, but floodidng the Mobile Phone free zone with news articles doesn't seem to be a great idea to me. What do you folks think?

Well I noticed boba has been doing it and today I thought I would help him today by posting a few but if no-one finds them interesting then.....
Anyway, what harm is it doing?

@whizkidd, I agree 100% and I'd like it to stop right now please (I was just about to write something similar here)
the posting of general items of limited interest is useless. We can all go to BBC or annanova and read this stuff.
There is also copyright issues as we don't have the right to simply cut and paste articles like that
News postings should be limited to items that are in some way related to phones, gadgetry, useful knowledge etc and not these tidbits of sensationalism
I'll be removing stuff I don't think we need but I'd prefer if more consideration was given before it was posted in the first place

I agree with whiz
@golden - it does not harm but then again there are sooo many threads all of a sudden, u dont have time to go thru all of them and it just looks like the forum's being cluttered
@gov - that way a lot of stuff might be missed in between, and people cant skip news they dont want to know about

I posted this on the locked "New news editor" thread
Quote:Now, I see alot of forums working with a "back page news" section on the forum, it means that anybody can post a news and "news mods" are making the decission if it's worth the frontpage or not. Even if it's not really worth frontpage it stays on that particular forum so anybody can read it anyway.
That way anybody can participate in the news section of the site whitout having special rights.
but no one seemed to care except carkitter ...
