ps3daily.co.uk, Has been used numerous times. However do the the inflammatory title of this particular story it was labeled as SPAM. A) this is ridiculous as the Spam report should be used to report actual attempts of advertising or repeated attempts at posting a story from a non-legit website. B) if the title would have been changed the story would've easily been approved, but since it is against the guidelines I didn't change it. Not really a big deal, but people need to learn what the "Spam" report is for and not just use it when they don't like a story.

The other problem is most members are quick to Report something like this while I had 9 other stories that sat with 0 Approval points. If they spent half as much time approving stories as they did sniping for stories they don't like we wouldn't be sitting with 90+ stories in the pending section constantly. Of course approving takes more effort than just reading the title I suppose.

I support what is in bold. People need to learn what spam really means.

More BS reports from fanboys. E3 just ended on Friday and this article was just posted today. They are just reporting it as old because they don't like the title.

Predictably the organised Sony fanboys zapped this very quickly. They certainly don't like either the facts or free speech. They even admit what they are up to and you can see who the culprits are:

Just to back up my claim, Here TODAY we have an article from the same website. No reports no problem, but when the story is not liked they censor it and label it SPAM because it is from a "Blog". Either a source is OK or it's not. The title shouldn't affect the credibility of a source. That's all.

And another one......HERE

I don't know if others haven't noticed it by now, but literally ALL of your stories promote flaming. I have yet to see a proper, unbiased,balanced article from your site.
Personally I could care less, but I've really noticed how consistent it is. Then, when they inevitably fail, you run here for sly justice.
At least try finding something else to write other than these controversial flame bait articles Bruce and maybe you wont have to come in here and plea on a bleeding ear.

So what? It's still a legit article.It's only flaming in the eyes of fanboys.

Is it time to give up with posting here?
Today I posted an article (as an article) about the British press and their attitude towards games. I only posted it in the industry section. http://www.n4g.com/NewsPending-176192.aspx

And this is what happens, these are false reports and something should be done about it:

My articles express either a strong opinion or a unique viewpoint. Go have a look, there are over 300 of them. And my analysis and predictions have been repeatedly right, far more so than the professional analysts. To call this flamebait is, quite frankly, insulting. They are my considered input into debates and people ought to be bright and educated enough to debate back. Or butt out.
Certainly allowing fanboys with a mission to consistently stop my articles does nothing for free speech. And it makes N4G a far less worthwhile place because the articles that do get through represent the warped opinions of an activist minority.

Are the "ignorant 14 year old Sony fanboys" giving you a hard time again? They didn't see much gaming related stuff in your story so they reported it. I wouldn't call it false reporting. After all this is a user based site

. Oh, and your posts take up half the thread. Just link directly to the reports like this.

Having actually read most of Bruce's articles submitted to N4G, I see no reason why they shouldn’t be on N4G. They are all a lot better written and provide more interesting points for debate than the general monotony of articles that appear.

I might not agree with everything, but reporting these stories as 'spam' is just wrong.

And I actually get a fair amount of my gaming news, editorials etc from the UK press (The Guardian mainly, which fortunately wasn't critiqued here), so this article is of interest to gamers like me.

Putting it that way makes it sound a lot more tolerable, but that's just my opinion.
Whatever the outcome then...C'est la vie.
I'll simply ignore it as I usually do.

Just to prove my point I posted this completely valid article about sex in video games: http://www.n4g.com/NewsPendingCom-176403.aspx

And whoosh, the N4G destroyers arrived. pwnsause is a multiple reporter of my posts. Now he seems to think that he is an admin. And I bet he didn't read the article before reporting it:
