For those of you who haven't noticed, I've been removing articles posted in Breaking news that are not news....and not even close to being news.

They are someone's idea of a personal rant. And since it isn't news, I'm not going to relocate it...I'm going to REMOVE it.

In the past, articles were posted in Breaking news that weren't. People got sanctioned or banned for doing that. Lately, SOME people just post any garbage they seem to have an obsession over, and even put in their own comments. That ends today. NOW.

I'm not going to fight any of you over it. It's a lost cause. But I moderate this site, and I will ensure that NEWS is what is being posted.

Anything that is NOT news is going to be PURGED. Got that?

REMOVED. No warning. Exceptions are ONLY humor, Editorials, and Biker Bar.

If it isn't news, it has no business even BEING here!!! This is a news forum.

And for repeat offenders, you've been warned. When you keep doing it, and they keep getting removed...keep in mind I'm noting your names. When I have to remove too many posted by the same name ...your account will go as well. No additional warning. This is IT.

So, for those of you with an axe to grind, or an idea you want to shove down our throats...over and over and over...this is your ONLY warning:

Visit GoDaddy - Start your own website ... focus your obsession there. Because it isn't welcome here. You know who you are.

This is something I'm NOT even going to discuss.

END of Announcement and my part in any Discussion.

The whole "Breaking News" thing is a joke, really. I think the only meaningful contribution ever made by jjbrowser was that while it's fairly objective what constitutes "Breaking" (i.e. within 48 hours of publishing), what constitutes "News" is completely subjective. Completely. Goldi claimed otherwise when I was there and no doubt still does.

What's "news" to one person is boring to another, and propaganda to a third.

It is true that given the nature of forums and the title box, that relevant articles can be smothered from the title box by excessive postings by someone who doesn't like what was posted. That has been done on LP and there's little doubt Cal was one of the perpetuators. She was certainly dishonest on one other instance I know of. But there's not much that can be done by a moderator/owner to prevent that, as there's no clear rule one could make that would keep it from happening. The best that can be done is to repeat posting articles that are being smothered.

But "Breaking News" is a joke if it's defended as an objective classification. What qualifies is what the controller wants qualified.

WhiteSands used to play that game with me when he first appeared at LP, flooding the sidebar with garbage news just to drive something he didn't like off the screen.

I'd just let him 'post away' until it seemed he was finished and then I'd start posting articles that I 'knew' he wouldn't like and he would have to start all over again.

Took about 2 weeks but he finally tired of his fruitless efforts.
