Seperate section for news reports
Post by DavePhaneuf on Aug 24th, 2003, 11:45pm
Hey there,
It seems that now news reports are getting posted in the forums before put on the main page.
And since that is what seems is happening at the moment maybe there should be a seperate section for the news reports for each game on the forums where the only person that could post would be the reporter.
Of course that would mean that all the reporters would have to be registered to the forums. Would that be a problem?
If not I maybe could take the spot for F-Zero X, if Logan doesn't mind. ^^

A forum in each section just for news updates would further crowd a board that already has 20+ forums. Tell ya what ... I'll make the writers mods and they can make their news posts sticky, so they'll stay at the top. You'll have no problem finding the latest news that way. Does that sound like a reasonable compromise? Or is your concern the replies that are inevitably being posted? We could go with both sticky and locked to prevent replies and keep the news at the top.

That does sound like a good idea. The news posts can be sticky until they are put on the main page. 
If the poster doesn't want any replies I guess Locking would also be a good idea if needed.

Does it really make a difference if I post the universal news on the message board or if I just e-mail them to Dave?
With either way, Dave has to put them on the main page.

I guess the thinking, when I suggested it to Dave, was that we could read the news reports sooner, if he became too busy to get them up right away, thus relieving some pressure from our already overworked webmaster. I guess it might also be a place where we could offer congrats, ask questions, have a little interaction, and maybe even stir up some friendly competition!!
