STOP COPYING AND PASTING THE NEWS FROM OTHER WEBSITES!
I do it the same way dasme did. Im not that bad about it< I don't post everything
sorry ur post wasn't there wen i said that... i was LOL in at |-Anubis-|... not ur post!
^ Makes it sound lame and unoriginal I guess.
I'm neutral on this - it saves time to copy and paste, but I do believe that the poster should have some originality. It's one of the issues on allowing regular users to post news. The advantage is that anyone can post, also, it's faster and people aren't obliged to post. The disadvantage is the quality of the posts.
I do it, though I don't make tons of news posts. I think it might be good to have the story from the other site quoted then maybe suggest that whoever posts it add their own opinion.
If everyone avoided copying and pasting though then half of the news posts here probably wouldn't contain that much information. I don't think people here are going to take the same amount of time the news site did on typing the story, so some or maybe most posts would just be a quick description and a link.
lol .
as long wee put the source website and its okay .
right ?
I figure the news section is a place to post snippets of news - wherever they're from!
- a place to post links to sites of interest etc? After all, most of us don't actually make the news - where else are wee gonna get the stories from?!?
