ATTENTION: Submitting a news article that has just been copy and pasted from another news source is PLAGIARISM! Do NOT violate this rule. It is a BANNABLE offense and I will start banning anyone who does this starting now.

Not after this....

 

I guess I will have to create another thread to clarify this, the purpose of the feature was helping the contributors to be aware of a news, not writing news for the contributors..


lol People don't want to get banned. I never I'm a good person for what's new. I always get to
hear it last

not getting banned is easy. Just don't copy/paste the text.

Suggestion - can we just use a news feed, like some other sites do?

i.e. from:
http://www.gamespress.com/

You should. Also, you should make sure you have good spelling and gramar. The contributors will check it, but if it is correct the first time it is less for them to fix later. Finally, if you link an image make sure you actually can from the website, as the last article you submitted shows a big white box saying you can't link from their website.

yea. Some contributor will probably reject it because you have no link and the image is broken, but for now it is sitting waiting to be approved.

no. You could resubmit as I don't think any contributors are working on it right now and the first one would be deleted. Or you could hope that a contributor fixes it for you. Personally I don't normally check out the queue, but someone had pm'd me about submitting news so I was looking to see what was in the queue.

edit: it just got deleted as I was posting this.
