I'm just asking you to be considerate to other people, at the least you could at least post the content in the next post.

 


No not really, if you don't contain the link content in future though I'll do it myself, just don't moan when I do.



Look Seece enough with this talk. You don't post the link content in your threads either. i just looked over a half dozen of your threads and most of them have a single sentence maybe a little more followed by the link to the story. How is that any different then what I have done I still provide the source just like you do, I just provide more content instead of a sentence or two.

You don't post the original article all the time either. I see sometimes you post the article but often you just give a link. No different then me providing the link via the Source at the bottom of most threads.

Also me not providing a link is not manditory. I actually have sources outside of the media I used to create threads based on what my sources said what I heard from industry insiders and such. But people were getting upset they wanted sources, I gave names of some sources like when I conducted interviews personally. But people wanted a media source.

As such I have held back on a lot of news and topics to wait for the other media networks to catch up. Now rather then just talking with sources and following their tweets and stuff. Now I have to follow IGN and all the networks so that I get the news from a source people want rather then from an actual source.

That is taking users into consideration. When I worked for the paper and different sites I didn't have to give media sources often. I would simply give the name of my source if he wanted his name revealed or say "A Nintendo Canada employee recently told me" etc...etc... But on VGChartz I am not a writer and I had to adapt for the sake of users to provide media sources.

Sort of sucks, yah the media does often beat me to some stories. But I have to wait for the media to report other stories before posting. In doing so often I get beaten to stories I would have given earlier.

The only thing I do that is wrong, Is I still write and act like a journalist even though I am not employed at the moment. Its hard to try and not act like a journalist. I love to write, I'm not trying to come off as high and mighty or arrogant just that I still write and act like a journalist.
