Is this actually news, or just some kid whining?

I don't see the difference between that story, and this story, which was deleted:

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.

Not all that problematic, but it is a double posted thread...

This isn't news, it's a no-name blogger talking about a random poll he took on the NeoGAF forums.

a piece promoting someone's political agenda has no place here. Bruce's stuff is usually great, but this one has to go.

Nevermind. I thought something was approved, but I was apparently mistaken.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

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.

Thanks Duke. The only thing I could find about him was this.

Apparently he's a "Slightly mental gamer".... in other words, he's like you and me so the question remains: Should his blogs be on N4G?

the description.

I'd like to know.Since this has been approved,should we follow
the rule of precedent and approve submissions from Genki Rocket?
