got it!

http://n4g.com/NewsPending-156522.aspx was submitted after http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsPendingCom-156518.aspx?CT=1, but was somehow approved even though I reported the story before all of them approved it (very fishy).  Then the submitter of the dupe reported the original submitter's post as a duplicate.  That seems pretty classless if you ask me.  But you mods can decide for yourself.

interesting.

My bad here.I apologize.This will not happen again.
In my defense,the duplicate report was not there when I approved it.

I am your father and your mother.

Yep, you're right, I do remember seeing your name as approved before I reported.  I didn't mean to call you out or make you look bad.

I really think the rumoured store update: http://www.n4g.com/News-156788.aspx is a dup of the official update: http://www.n4g.com/gaming/NewsCom-156887.aspx?CT=1 especially when they are only separated by a couple of hours.

Since the rumored was submitted earlier, I let it live.  If it had been submitted after, however...lol

Changed it, but the link you provided caused an off-center image so I just used a Havok one.

http://www.n4g.com/News-156888.aspx is a dupe of http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-156518.aspx?CT=1 and a failed story http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsPendingCom-156522.aspx?CT=1.

I've seen a ridiculous number of duplicate stories today.  sigh...

got it.

This most certainly isn't news.  It should be labeled as an article.  However, he clicked that the problem was fixed when somone told him to change it to an article, so perhaps a mod needs to PM him to remind him?

I got tired just after reading that title.

Umm, are people allowed to make their own titles for stories if it's not the story's title?

http://n4g.com/industrynews/NewsPending-157190.aspx

Can someone tell me the rules on this?

Bring back Maddens Raiders!

I need more explanation.  The story you link to uses the linked story's original title.  It is against the Guidelines to alter the title of a story, the exception being adding the reviewing site, or an explanatory "Q&A" before an interview title.

He uses 'soon' instead of soon, which gives the impression that Nintendo is misleading.  It's used to cause spin.  Like if I were to call someone 'smart' rather than smart.

Bring back Maddens Raiders!

got it.

...before this contributor's story fails, someone help. http://www.n4g.com/NewsPending-157239.aspx

Haha, it's getting reported as lame...it is news...you don't have to read it.  I give it 2 points.

Bring back Maddens Raiders!

Just a couple of small issues here. The first one http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-157323.aspx?CT=1 is a dup of http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-157320.aspx?CT=1 - It is the exact same review, it's just one is from Gamespot's US site & the other the UK site, but it's the same review.

In this one http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-157318.aspx?CT=1 in the body of the text 'Metal Gear Solid 4' is called MG4 - Also GameSpot should have a capital S.
 
Edit:
 
I also think the video reviews on GameSpot are the same, so there is really no need for the UK or US in any of the titles.

done.

Apparantly it's the new "thing" to ignore duplicate reports.

Anyway this is a dupe http://www.n4g.com/industrynews/News-157413.aspx
I already placed the link to the original in the reports section.

-EDIT-
Another story with dup. reports being ignored has been approved.
http://www.n4g.com/industrynews/NewsPending-157332.aspx

And another here
http://www.n4g.com/gaming/NewsPending-157421.aspx

-EDIT 2-

Can you also add PS3, PS2 and PC to the channels of this story.

Never should have gone through since direct and legal feed from Gametrailers will be available
shortly.I refuse to see the original video posted as an alternative link to this. Let's not forget the
title which is wrong too.Rules and guidelines explicitly dictate not to go into sensationalism.
So what about the '!!!'

Looks like the original title but your correct it does not follow N4G policy so it needs to be edited.

I love the fact someone took their time to create a random E-Blogger account and only post one article just to have it published on N4G. It definitely needs to go down.

All fixed.

Can we all make user videos and submit them as news?

(and yes I realize it hasn't been approved yet, but this is N4G and by the time a mod reads this, it will be on the front page)
 
Edit:  Hey, would you look at that.  I was right.
