I modified the figinator's post to perhaps appeal a little bit better (although, I don't see how "Already posted" constitutes an "attitude"), but the problem is this: If you aren't the source for that news post (that is, your post was independant of the news post), should you be given credit? Personally, I don't think so, even given the locality of the two posts. If Voodoo pilfered the info off your post without credit (something I know he wouldn't do), then we'd have a problem. In any case, the post you had made was closed because the topic exists on the front page. I'm not the mod for the BPN, but I believe the policy is to close duplicate threads in order to keep discussion centralized to one location, which would be our comments system. Don't take offense to having a thread closed, we're just trying to avoid split discussions.

Who cares if you get credit or not, you ain't winning the poletzer prize! get over it. :sleep:

A lot of my BPN Posts are either..

1. Ignored.

2. Posted with credit by someone else

3. Posted by a Newspowser when I knew I posted it first.

Do I whine and bitch? No? :rolleyes:

It's the Pulitzer prize. The thing is we get see a news item, not who posted it first. Hardgiant, as credit for posting first, here's something for you. Sheesh, what a:sleep:: boring post.
