Boeing 787 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted August 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 18, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeing 787 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I guess I'll just stop posting back page news on neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted August 19, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted August 19, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post was removed for a rule that has always been there, you are acting very childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted August 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 19, 2008 I guess I'll just stop posting back page news on neowin. 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.

The Rev Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL_ Veteran Posted September 27, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 27, 2008 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.
