I'm heading to get some dinner, didn't realize it was so late.
NWS- I hope we can be friends, or at least friendly, and there are no hard feelings on my side. I just did what I felt like I needed to, right or wrong.
I will buy you dinner, ok! :D
I knew when I let that slip I would get asked this! :D
As for the comments I deleted from other folks in here: I don't want to get anyone else involved in this, this is just between NWS and I, I am not trying to start a mass site argument.
Soft deleted doesn't matter to anyone who isn't a mod, they just see 600 threads vanish and their post counts plummet, and then get pissed because they think I am ****ing with them for some reason.
Did you ever think maybe since there were 600 of them that I might have seen them and not really had a problem with them?
And at the time I didn't have a problem with them, but now after researching it for a few days I agree that we needed to change the way we handle them, but we didn't need...

Have some new rules for posting links to stories on other sites.
Pretty simple, and it is just to cover our behinds:
1. Write your own title for the thread, don't copy and paste it.
2. Write your own short description of what the story or link is, don't copy and paste it.
That's it!
