News versus General Subforums

rpgdemon · 10-19-2011, 12:15 PM

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that there seems to be no difference between the News and the General subforums, except that sometimes people put news in news?

Since I purposely avoid the news subforum, but there are constantly threads that decidedly should be in the news subforum, but are here in general.

I haven't reported any of these threads, since I can't tell if they're actually in violation of the rules, but some clarity on what News is, versus what General is, would be nice.

I can give a list of links, if people have no idea what I'm talking about, but I figure it should be pretty clear without throwing people under a bus.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
