New Eden compiled Newsfeed.
For all who wish to keep up to date on the news in New Eden and beyond, the above GalNet link is available.
Now, PLEASE, can we stop with the empty OP threads that just contain either an entire story quote or just a source link? If you have an opinion, sure, state it and link to the source, but this fashion of posting threads with no real content is infuriating.
Have an opinion of your own! |

Congratulations on creating a thread with absolutely zero substance.

Halete, you will notice that unlike many of the other threads, I stated an opinion, an opinion is a form of content. An empty post with a source link is not.
I did not think I would have to explain that to you, perhaps I credited you with a greater degree of intelligence than I should have.

Thanks, I'm glad it was enjoyed. Tteok bokki doesn't make itself though. Can Mr. Chagangan please pull his finger out and deliver my shipment thank you. It's already two weeks overdue and I have orders piling up.

In this case no. The like system on this summit can be played to show a false number of likes.
Her opinions on other topics may do as you state Anslo, but in this case, the constant spweing of other people's words with no opinions or views is what is called 'empty quoting' and is, i beleive, against the summit's rules.
So, if the OP of these threads has an opinion, they should state it, otherwise they should simply not post. As Halete said, a place to discuss the news is fine. Empty quoting for no purpose other than to be the one who started the thread in particular is not.
This is why I linked to the compiled newsfeed, to allow those on this summit to read the news for themselves and form an opinion before they start the threads. |

Ah, I see your mistake. Deliveries are not my department. Try contacting the corporation directly. They generally use baseliners for non-essential delivery work. |

This is an example of one of those new Gallente contemporary art movements, using irony in order to get the message across, via such ironic methods to question the relationship between art and its audience by being as pointless as the absurdity it's trying to address...

They can exist all they want. So long as they refrain from trying to enslave and force their religion upon us. They have yet to learn this lesson.

Please, I understand that you Republicans struggle with this but refrain from derailing your own thread with these trite genocidal sentiments and opinions of what the Amarr should and should not do.

They never will learn, brother. Never. No more than a fish can learn to climb trees, or a bird to burrow beneath mountains. To give up their slaver's faith, their god of convenience, is simply too much against their nature. They won't stop.
We can't stop.
Ever. Don't let yourself lose sight of the truth for the sake of a pretty fantasy where everyone stops being evil and all manage to survive at the end of the story. That's not our reality.

Did I just read that likes are seen as evidence for intelligence? But you can get likes for just linking to news stories, with no additional intelligent comment whatsoever. Perhaps our standard for intelligent posts is too low? That would explain a couple things. Nightmares - A short story by Ch+¬ Biko |

This thread does have merit, though.
Especially since a new empty link thread is being posted for every single story development. Not just a new story, but as I said yesterday in the thread that got posted to discuss the story about the Gallentean senate being angry at the Minmatar for killing Broteau.
The very first actual post from that story is simply a continuation of the previous thread. |

That is a much more pertinent issue Tiberious, but one that the original poster extraordinarily failed to convey. Starting new discussion threads on a by-update basis is somewhat excessive where an edit to the original post as well as a quote in the thread would suffice.

If I may? I've expressed this before, and I'll express it again. Relevant points:
In the first, some parties are interested in news as it happens, but may not regularly check the GalNet news feed. Posting links and quotes from the GalNet feed therefore increases the degree to which information is disseminated, and the speed at which it is disseminated.
In the second, a single news link focuses discussion; instead of having only one focused conversation, we risk having two, three, or four discussions if there isn't a clearly titled link post.
In the third, most of those who post news links will post news relevant to their interests. When I've done it, it's usually because I wanted to comment on the news in question, and provide immediate reference. This isn't universally true, but merely considering something of note is sometimes a fair basis for posting news.
As for likes, well. While some visceral, instinctive part of me basks in the adulation of my peers, the system is a better measure of a person's general presence than their popularity; someone who posts more frequently will also often have more 'likes' as a matter of course. At the same time, being able to see at a glance who has a significant presence on the GalNet forum is useful, as it allows you to weight comments at least a touch, or see if there is wide-spread agreement with a given statement.
It is what it is. I'd say it works well enough. |

Derin, you missed my point entirely, as did Kim.
Discuss the news all you want, but don't open a thread with an empty quote. Have an opinion, share it, START A DISCUSSION.
simply quoting an article and linking to it is, quite frankly, incredibly lazy and devoid of any real purpose.
Hence my link to the newsfeed everyone uses. Go, read, gain an opinion, THEN link to the article and state the opinion you have drawn from the news.
It takes a little more effort on the part of the OP, yes, but if you're going to start a discussion, actually try to start one. Don't just copy someone else's words and leave it.
