Only posting news that Kowenicki doesn't like. It's perfectly fine for him to post dozens of articles about Sony's financial status. |
So long as it was applied fairly across the board to everyone, it wouldn't be so bad though, right? Think about it, every fandom gets doom threads thrown at it that are nothing but a quote of an entire news article, with no comment from the OP. It's bullshit. If it's that newsworthy, it'll end up on the site anyway on the main page, either as one of the site's articles or as an N4G link. If it really warrents discussion, then god damn it the thread author should have to contribute to the discussion, not just spread what is often worthless clickbait articles. Bad news is one thing, and if bad news happens it needs to be known, but a forum is a place for discussion, not just a place to get your news. I find it really annoying the amount of clickbait news threads with an inflammatory headline that come through, only for the OP to not have anything but a big quote of the article so that the author can just fap to fanboy tears. It's flamebaiting no matter what company it's directed at. When an OP instead has a link to the article, with the author's thoughts on it, and maybe a few relevant smaller quotes, I don't mind as much, even when it's Nintendoom.
