What is this? Second grade?

"They started it." C'mon dude... grow up. I thought you would have learned to mature a bit after our "discussion" a day or two ago...

What haven't we done? All these "examples" are legit submissions. Jus because it's an opinion piece doesn't mean that it can't be posted on this site. If the opinion piece is from a respected individual or site we encourage it to be submitted here.

Another one where the contributor doesn't seem to care he/she has been reported 10 times for the same issue. Before the site update this wouldn't have been a big problem but now that we have metascore for each game it's more important to have the type set on review so the score can be included.

Report problem stories: Duplicate + Wrong Source + Deliberately one-sided, biased title - Thursday, March 13, 2008 2:32 AM

GTA IV: PS3 coming out slightly on top in some areas + Rockstar sequel coming in 2009:
http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-122430.aspx

Some of the problems with this submission:

(a) It is a duplicate story.

(b) It fails to use the original, correct source -- because the original source has already been submitted.

(c) The title has been drastically altered.

Since there are so many problems with this submission, it's likely that everyone would report a different thing. Just keep it to "Duplicate" -- I have already provided the link in the report section. Thanks.

[ This is not the frst time Hydrolex, the contributor, posted a duplicate story by deliberately using the wrong source (because the original source had already been used) and deliberately changing the title to get Sony mobs approve his slanted stories. This is becoming his bad habit. ]

Since when is a random forum a source...

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-128788.aspx

Forums are a sticky thing (I avoid them entirely), but the rules of N4G state that they are acceptable if the forum post contain screenshots or videos, or if the post is from a dev or some other industry professional. The screenshot in that post made it suitable for N4G, though it's a bit of a slippery slope!

and Silellak, it looks like that second story failed to get enough approvals over a two-day period and was automatically failed.

I can promise that isn't true. I posted it Wednesday night/Thursday morning before I went to bed, and when I woke up on Thursday it had already "failed approval". A mod must have rejected it.

One more Duplicate report and it's down. It's not a duplicate really, that's just an efficient way to take it down. It's a no name blog and that's why it should be removed.
