*I apologize if anyone is offended by the photo, but such vile
manipulation of the news reminds me of the work of a certain fellow
who also did such dastardly deeds. It's one thing to reprimand someone
for an accidental re-post because it's not very hard to do considering
reporters may use a different wording in their title, but this is making
this site a living joke when a NEWS STORY doesn't get published
because it doesn't sit well with some people on the site. I'm a proud X-bot, but these guys aren't bots, they're like Nazis. I'm calling them X-Nats and will do so until justice is served.
I've never thought I'd had to write this story (or any) story, but now it's all starting to make sense as to why certain stories get posted and some don't. Let's elaborate on a story that's currently being suppressed, in this case by 360 fanboys, before I continue:
Recently, a number of websites reported a 68% failure rate of the 360 was widely known by insiders before it was released... the first story I saw of it was from a user named "Pending", but it failed, and although no one had proof, most of the people who reported the story did so because in their opinion that the article was "lame" and because it was not true in their own eyes and for reasons they couldn't prove. Someone attempted to say because the title was made-up or something like that, but the one offender, "Power of Green" posted specifically that it was lame for that reason. Okay, fine; the title was made up. Therefore, the story failed. But the story was still not published, and the article still was factual.
And so did Boldy:

among his comments was one by celticlonewolf
"whats this 360 good news with the price cut and all that so people have to find some old bad lame news lol".
And HE didn't approve it because he didn't like it. I had to take a test today and what it said was Regardless if it's good news or bad, if it's interesting, YOU REPORT IT.
"Pixelsword" attempted to publish another story along the same lines, but the story was not approved. Again, there was the contributor "Power of Green" saying it was a "duplicate"! On top of the fact it can't be a duplicate article by definition because no article has passed, which makes a duplication of a published article impossible, this is classical and willful suppression! If you claim one article to be fake without providing proof, yet use the same article to state duplication for subsequent appearance of seeming legitimate, that is the lowest thing you can do in terms journalistic integrity.
On top of everything else, Looking back at Pending's article, Power of Green lied about the title of the article being made-up in Pending's case.
People like celticlonewolf and power of green shouldn't have the ability to ruin reporters on this site. At all. That is disgusting and they should be banned
I therefore implore the moderators of N4G to Publish Pending's version of the article, seeing that his was the earlier of the three, or the earliest one. This is willful and deliberate, and should not be tolerated.
