If it's a sourced article, I say it's news. Maybe it's News/Editorial, but sourced articles, for the most part, should be considered "news". Maybe not Front Page. Maybe not Extended. But definitely "news".

While technically correct, we've been swamped with 'Passion' threads. Every small fact about the movie has received its own thread and was beginning to overwhelm the news forum

We have begun to move some of the excess to chat and some to the Religion forum. Others, which present new ideas for discussion, we've left in news.

Keep in mind that the Chat forum has its own topic for 'tv/movies'. Stories related to box office info or Gibson's income should go there

I can understand why you guys were doing what you were doing, but only 2-3 of those threads were widely discussed. Those were the ones getting moved to chat, and then "boom" the discussion dies.

Agreed. But those weren't the only ones getting moved to chat.

My main point from this comment was to AppyPappy who made the statement that none of the Passion threads were "news".

First I would like to thank you all for the hard work you do and especially to Jim for making this site possible.

Thoughtful of you to allow this input and I hope it proves as helpful to you as it has been for me, just from reading it.

We need to be reminded from time to time of the mission here. Maybe state it at the top of threads or somewhere else that is seen frequently.

I was on the thread that was pulled and was disappointed but understand you have a more important task here than babysitting a bunch of babblers.

People need to back off a little or get out of the kitchen, if it gets too hot. Remember, it takes two to tango or tangle.

Apparently the abuse button is used too often....I don't know. Maybe one should have only a limited number of chances to point out abuse on a thread. Or a limited number of chances each month.

If someone is always hitting the abuse button, maybe they need to be talked to.

Anyway, I see a lot of needless bickering around here.....have probably engaged it it myself at times. Hopefully this will help some see the error of their ways.

Why not come on to a thread, ping them and tell them to knock it off or the thread will be pulled. You can then see very clearly who complies after that. At least they would have a warning and a chance to clean it up.

Or you could ban the offending posters from that thread.

Just ideas to bandy about...thanks again.
