Damn. If Kotaku submits the story TODAY and the dupe story doesn't appear in the Possible Duplicates list, then How the hell am I supposed to know!?

I quit.

I'd like some others to weigh in, but I followed the link and it seemed to be duplicate anyway - to the Welt interview coverage.

Any explanation at all would be good.

Also still waiting on a reason for

Apart from people not thinking it was a review. It fits the definition of one and the picture can be fixed.

That first one has no relation to gaming so I see why that one failed.

But is is about something which probably annoys the readers daily and is thus a point of interest. An article on new TVs people may want counts as related and it has about as much to do with games as this does.

I would have reported the first one as 'lame' - not gaming related.

The second is a story I would neither approve or report, it's not really the sort of review I want on N4G, however others might. Some users didn't want that one put through, however the thing about N4G is, that the sites next story could pass through without a problem.

So? No one is holding the user at gunpoint to read the article.
Anyhow, it failed. Hope your happy.

Well the fanboys were straight on to this perfectly valid article: http://www.n4g.com/NewsPending-195556.aspx
Why the Xbox 360 will outsell the Wii

I write things that are pro Sony and things that are anti Sony.
I write things that are pro Microsoft and things that are anti Microsoft.
I write things that are pro Nintendo and things that are anti Nintendo.

Because I am analysing and reporting what is happening in the real world. The fanboys cannot see this as they are so narrow minded.
It is possible to have a good gaming site with no fanboys. Here for instance: http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php
Here the fanboys are trying (and often succeeding) to suppress anything that doesn't fit their narrow agenda.

Meanwhile here are the people who zapped this current article (pwnsause reports most things I post):

I have an idea for a solution to the fanboy reports problem.
Why not make it cost every time you make a report?
Say 50 points off the reporters total score.
This will make people only report when they think it is worth them spending points. Thus making them responsible community members.
Because at the moment they just gratuitously spray reports everywhere to support their narrow agendas of stories they want censored.

Also look at all these personal insults in the gamer zone. This is directly against site rules. Why is nothing done about this?

Great so now that I've gotten 0 responses(not that I expected any) I'll show why this story should not have failed.

I'm sure many of you may have missed this bit of news so I'll share it with you now:

quote:

Just recently added to the ranks of Warhammer bloggers is none other than Mythic's head honcho himself, Mr. Mark Jacobs. Jacobs has hung out his shingle at a site entitled Online Games Are a Niche Market, a reference to a bad conversation he had with AOL execs back in the day. Hard to believe AOL could be shortsighted about anything.

He's already put up several interesting posts, which we think are well worth checking out. He reiterates and expands on some of the comments he made in his MTV article when discussing the role of WAR's success or failure in the market. He also directly answers questions from commenters in not one but two posts. It's great to see a busy guy like Mark getting into the trenches to address fan questions; perhaps you've got one for him as well?

The founder of Mythic has started his own blog and as stated in the quote above, he conducts(almost daily) community Q&A's discussing Warhammer Online as well as other various Industry topics.

Now according to the rules, blog entries from industry professionals are ok for submission.
So with that I'll ask again....

Why did it fail?

I usually ignore failures, but failing this story is blocking actual news for an anticipated upcoming game. It's the reason I posted it in the first place. If it didn't contain any useful information I wouldn't have submitted it. I could give a damn about submission score and all that BS. My concern is the obvious preference for what is considered news. That pisses me off.

Is this thread even taken seriously? That should have been my first question.

And what's the ****ing point mentioning that the story has been updated? Users still blindly report stories without looking in to it themselves. http://n4g.com/NewsPending-196519.aspx
