• Reforming the News Node

We need change in the News Node. The HLFallout bot is a piece of clockworthy shit and needs to be removed. Also put the Edit button back. Are there any new sites that could do with a bot on NN?
I feel it is fine as it is.
HLFallout is indeed quite shit as long as Zips is there to post stuff first.
Maybe a few more sites would be good, and HLFallout has been slow with news several times that i've noticed, usually Zips or the Steam bot has already announced it.
Nobody uses the news node.
I frequent the news node from time to time.
i use the news node if the top thread catches my attention
[QUOTE=Zeke129;18804024]Nobody uses the news node.[/QUOTE] Quite a lot of people do
[QUOTE=Zeke129;18804024]Nobody uses the news node.[/QUOTE] I use the News Node all the time for Garrysmod.com posts.
Remove HLFallout, add edit and you're done. Also it should probably be moved into the Video Games section, considering all the bots are for video game sites.

[QUOTE=Benji;18804138]Edit was removed for a reason[/QUOTE] What reason was that?
[QUOTE=DamagePoint;18804154]What reason was that?[/QUOTE] Because it was pointless.
[QUOTE=redBadger;18804174]Because it was pointless.[/QUOTE] What if you wanted to edit your posts?
[QUOTE=DamagePoint;18804192]What if you wanted to edit your posts?[/QUOTE] You should look over/preview your posts before posting something.
I couldnt agree more with this thread. Also I use the edit button to add shit I may have overlooked.
HLFallout bot isn't nearly as bad as you say it is.
[QUOTE=redBadger;18804231]You should look over/preview your posts before posting something.[/QUOTE] Then why is it not in the news node but still in the rest of the forum? Because mistakes and typos do happen, and it is a lot better to just quickly edit your post than making another post to explain and apologise.
Get rid of the HL fallout bot and replace it with a Giant Bomb bot.
Add a bot for Garry.tv

Can we add a Wimp.com bot to videos? that would save some repeated threads.
[QUOTE=Benji;18808450]There was a script or something that people were using in the News Node, if I remember correctly[/QUOTE] People found out you could use the same HTML code that the bots do by editing the post, so edit was revoked.

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;18811864]So why doesn't Garry just fix the exploit?[/QUOTE] He has better things to do.
