For anyone that doesn't care for Joels interpretation.


lol Seece, lets ask you how you think my interpretation differs from what was said?

I don't know if it does, didn't bother to read it. I know in general your posts send me and others to sleep and when you announce news not everyone thinks highly of your opinion so you should just post the news and put your opinion under it. I'm not reading anything under this sentance either


Also I did provide the source for a reason so everyone could see exactly what was said. My so called interpretation is to encourage discussion and I in no way bent the facts. I'd like to know what exactly was wrong with my OP? I mean I realize you don't like me but it is sorta funny that you would make a comment like this.

Plus I was recently asked why I don't just copy and paste the articles, rather I create an original post based on the news. Fact is anyone can copy and paste an article a moron can copy and paste an article. The children in pre-school can copy and paste an article. Why would anyone want to read my threads if they were just copied from somewhere else.

Sorry but my interpretation and insight into the matters which I add for conversational value and journalistic value. This adds to the conversation and legitimacy of the thread and topic. Plagiarism is not something I do.

Anyways I did provide the source for a reason, my OP didn't stretch anything out just sought to explain things and encourage dialogue. Which I am very sure it will, so thank you for your plagiaristic concern but I don't copy others I actually create new discussions and report legit unique news. If you want to read the Eurogamer article click the source, or better yet leave VGChartz and just read Eurogamer. People come to VGChartz forum to discuss not to read the latest news from Eurogamer. It would be interesting if VGChartz actually broke a story like this but for the time being if you want Eurogamer go to Eurogamer if you want the source go to the source. But I am never going to plagerize or copy and paste, I actually contribute to the discussion.



Last time I checked it's actually against the rules to copy paste an article into a thread.

Last time you checked you were misinformed.

You need to personalize it.

No you don't.

Good job Joel, keep it up.

In case anyone wanted to argue...

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/forum-rules.php#content Section 7 (emphasis added)

7. Substance. Content is king. Threads lacking content can and will be locked. Some tips to keep you and your posts out of trouble:

  • Do not post just a link. Links have context - expound upon that context. For example, Mario Piano Videos. Post a link, but also give some background on what the link is to, or better yet, comment on how Mario has influenced pop culture. This way, it's not just a link and run. Remember: the reader's interest is not only in the link, its in what you have to say about it, how you make sense of what would otherwise be a blind link (and a subsequently poor thread). The only exception to this rule is for game patches - bearing in mind rule 3, go ahead and get that link posted as fast as possible.



    That's basically saying don't just post a link and nothing more. The done thing around here is to post the link, the content, and then YOUR opinion under it. Not that joel can't carry on doing what he's doing, but there are obviously more people upset with his posting style than those that like it.
