[QUOTE=Swebonny;34577336]If the point of agree/disagree ratings is to get a general idea about which side the readers/posters in a Mass Debate thread are on, then a poll in OP could much well serve that purpose.[/QUOTE] I agree, but the poll should be required to make a thread.

[QUOTE=Raijin;34577374]I agree, but the poll should be required to make a thread.[/QUOTE] A poll lets people drop in and say yes/no without clarifying. That's not the point of the section.

This whole debate about ratings seems like a great debate thread to me

[QUOTE=Greenen72;34577433]This whole debate about ratings seems like a great debate thread to me[/QUOTE] IDK it seems objectively like a bad idea and a good debate doesn't have a concrete yes/no

[QUOTE=Protocol7;34577372] I'm not sure this can be moderated though.[/QUOTE] Can't moderate people into checking poll results either.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;34577470]Can't moderate people into checking poll results either.[/QUOTE] Which is why it's fine the way it is :v: If it ain't broke don't fix it

[QUOTE=Swebonny;34577336]If the point of agree/disagree ratings is to get a general idea about which side the readers/posters in a Mass Debate thread are on, then a poll in OP could much well serve that purpose.[/QUOTE] What it the OP forgets a possible poll option for threads like "what's wrong with xyz?" or when there could be over 10 options for that answer?

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;34577503]What it the OP forgets a possible poll option for threads like "what's wrong with xyz?" or when there could be over 10 options for that answer?[/QUOTE] Don't ask me, I don't want any changes to Mass Debate.

Yeah, leave it as it is. I know there are times that I'd just like to say "Exactly! Couldn't have put it better myself", but if I can't add anything to it, then who cares if I agree.

Remove one of the new newsbots and add back CSNation, they we're always informative and pretty quickly with their news. Or it's called Total Gaming Network these days it seems.

[QUOTE=TDocter;34577887]Remove one of the new newsbots and add back CSNation, they we're always informative and pretty quickly with their news. Or it's called Total Gaming Network these days it seems.[/QUOTE] Was about to post... Did we get two new news bots? Never seen so many blue "Repeat" headers before

Both RPS and CSNation would make a perfect combination, with one of them doing more informative news and just that, and the other giving more of a opinion in a news article. With BBC for the rest, and I wouldn't mind keeping Shacknews, it seems all right.

Problem with the Blue's News is that they just link to other articles, also, they are bound to spam ITN because they do all their posts of the day in 10 minutes.

BBC news bot is shit RPS bot is alright STEAM BOT POST IN CAPS ALL THE FUCKING TIME Shacknews looks good and sounds good Blue looks fucking shit Indiegames is good Valve news is okay but should be its own bot Moddb is good But please, BBC is a pile of shit it should of never been introduced

So, can one of the mods tell me why RPS is gone and Shacknews + Blues News are spamming the News Node with irrelevant articles?

[QUOTE=certified;34579162]So, can one of the mods tell me why RPS is gone and Shacknews + Blues News are spamming the News Node with irrelevant articles?[/QUOTE] Garry obviously doesn't like RPS and would prefer more shitty news sources.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;34579216]Garry obviously doesn't like RPS and would prefer more shitty news sources.[/QUOTE] Could it be due to the number of people who complained about it? Mindless speculation mind you. Wondering the same thing the though, guess Ill have to actually go to RPS now to read it.

[QUOTE=certified;34579162]So, can one of the mods tell me why RPS is gone and Shacknews + Blues News are spamming the News Node with irrelevant articles?[/QUOTE] Tons of people ranted in RPS threads, and hated the RPS bot for it, Shack and Blues are probably spamming because they're new, I'm guessing it's the way the newsbots work.

[QUOTE=Jsm;34579251]Could it be due to the number of people who complained about it? Mindless speculation mind you.

I'd prefer that than blue anyday

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;34579363]Who would complain about RPS? It was a good news source I enjoyed reading it. I'd prefer that than blue anyday[/QUOTE] Being opinion pieces, RPS stirred some shit and people fell for it I guess

[QUOTE=Protocol7;34579424]Being opinion pieces, RPS stirred some shit and people fell for it I guess[/QUOTE] News sources always stir shit, it is normal. RPS may of done it a couple of times or got their facts wrong but they still had some good read material

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;34579469]News sources always stir shit, it is normal. RPS may of done it a couple of times or got their facts wrong but they still had some good read material[/QUOTE] I agree, I'd rather have news sources that stir the pot rather than boring "this happened in X" type of articles.

I would like to know why you have to pay 10 dollars for a Title. No offense, it just seems funny that a title only worth 1 dollar would cost 10 dollars instead.

[QUOTE=calebc789;34579522]No offense, it just seems funny that a title only worth 1 dollar would cost 10 dollars instead.[/QUOTE] What dictates how much a title is worth?

Don't be like me and buy a shitty title you'll hate in a year.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;34579363]Who would complain about RPS? It was a good news source I enjoyed reading it. I'd prefer that than blue anyday[/QUOTE] I think people jokingly moaned about their content, and their love of Minecraft / Notch.

I think the debate section should have an agree button to keep threads concise and tidy. If you disagree, you better be prepared to state why. Obviously, if you're gonna say the same thing as someone else, having some easy simple way of showing that rather than adding your long very similar opinion to the thread is just silly. Just my take on it. If you agree, a rating will suffice. If you disagree, explain why.

If you get a title you better think it through and make sure it is what you want, like a tattoo. You're stuck with it unless you fork out the money to overwrite it. I thought mine out a year ago and I still like it.

I don't know about any of you, but this just looks stupid and broken as fuck. [IMG]http://puu.sh/fYey[/IMG] Is it supposed to be like that?
