In my honest opinion, our contributors should not be allowed to submit stories from this site.

1. The site will take a story from <for ex: engadget.com> and then chop it into 5 articles on their site
2. XYZ person will take and submit each article on N4G.com
3. They all get approved.
4. It is annoying to go back and read 4 articles when one is necessary
5. They have been doing this for a while now.

I did do a search and found no posting on this information, if it has been posted my apologies.

There are sites that are banned and filtered from submission, typically for credibility purposes (a site that plagiarizes or something similar). If you think it is something akin to plagiarism, contact Dusty. If, however, this is just an issue of duplicate stories getting through report them or post them here.

The most original source of a story should be used which means two things. One, if those stories are crediting a more original source then the original source should be used. Two, if those stories are duplicate to an already submitted original source, they will should fail submission.

Does that answer your question?

Don't read their site then if you don't like the way it's run.

That's the joy about the internet. For every site you hate, there's ten that are good.

@castatrophe yes that does answer my question. I will just start reporting them more often so they fail, and update the other thread. thanks for your assistance.

@Snoozer282 - I come to N4G.com for content like other individuals. I would rather click on 1 link than 5 links to get the same information. It has nothing to do with hate, but keeping N4G.com a clean informative site which I believe most people want.
