What happened to Back Page News?


Recommended Posts

I created a favorite to back page news and always posted new stuff with no problems but now it's called "Breaking News" and my postings are getting removed.

Who's bad idea was this? :crazy:

The URL to BPN hasn't changed, only the name in the recent forum re-shuffle. It's been that way for a while now.

As for your post, I have checked the logs and the thread was removed because it was a repost of this with no replies.

but bmaher just explained why your news was removed. It is just a common rule that we don't have 15 threads with the same topic, it only makes sense to merge or close the one that was created last.

It doesn't mean you should stop posting news. Sorry to be ignorant, but saying

I guess I'll just stop posting back page news on neowin.

seems very childish to me, and almost a cry for attention. I don't mean to offend you by saying that, but it is only a thread.

Your post was removed for a rule that has always been there, you are acting very childish.

Yess... and start posting breaking news!

Don't stop posting news just because you posted a duplicate and it got removed. We've got lots of people posting, and it's easy for you to accidentally post a duplicate thread, but don't get upset about it. Every members' contribution is important to Neowin, which is why we not only allow you to submit breaking news, but also allow you to submit to our newsdesk.

Just an observation: Back Page News and Breaking News are two entirely different categories with regard to news stories.... does that mean that people should post "back page" quality stories in Breaking News? It's fine with me, but i'm just sayin.... *shrugs*

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the thinking behind it is stories get posted there pretty quickly, and some are breaking news stories, so the nature of the content of BPN meant Breaking News was a better name.
