Hello, everyone! Happy E3, one of the few Gamer Holidays of the year.
E3 is a busy time, especially during the specific conferences. So, I'm ging to pop in here and give you some reminders on how things work and what to expect.
1. Everyone wants to be first, but that doesn't mean beating others with one or two sentence submissions. We will immediately fail submissions that do this and wait for someone to put up something of worth and showing a sign of effort.
2. Again, we know you want to be first, but placeholders? Yeah, do that, and you will likely see a restriction. You somehow have a submission that started before an actual announcement? Not good.
3. Many submissions that add a little bit of news to an existing submission will be noted as needing to be added as an alternative source. Determination of this need will be made by the moderators as usual. This isn't anything new, but with the many submissions being made, felt it was important to emphasize.
4. We allow you to rip trailers from the streams when official videos are not already available. But realize that as soon as those videos are available from an official source, we'll be swapping those in. We'll make sure to keep you as credit URL.
5. Screen grabs of press conference videos will not be allowed as their own content element (screenshots or images). If it's a trailer and you just post screen grabs to get the content to N4G before the trailer gets here, it will be failed. If it's screen grabs that you are using to emphasize a bit of news, that is fine.
6. Official announcements posted to Xbox.com, the PS Blog, or similar sources may be edited into existing submissions as credit URLs.
7. Roundups aren't allowed. We get it's helpful to your users, but N4G is an aggregate site, we already round up the news on our site. Also, please don't try and 'sneak' them through as opinion pieces that aren't really opinion pieces, that only annoys us.
8. No posting your own site as a source for a stream or for a chat during the streams. This falls under the spam headline here since you're really just promoting your site and not the official streams. We encourage users to go to where they feel is best for them, though. We will post some user blogs to discuss the streams as well as links to the official sources and others, that's all we will be allowing.
9. During conferences, we likely won't be responding to PMs or tickets. We're busy. But, we'll try to get to you eventually. This is a busy time.
NoboFeed editor Atilla Turan writes - The Rogue Prince of Persia is fun if you are very much keen to playing 2D roguelike beat ‘em ups, but if you haven’t dived into the roguelike craze since it started, you might have problems getting used to how it plays and reacts to your choices.
NoobFeed editor Jay Claassen writes - Botany Manor is definitely a must-play for anybody who enjoys a little brain scratching through puzzles but also for anybody who enjoys simplicity’s strength. Between the relaxed environments and the unique flowers and their odd growing conditions, there’s never really a dull moment to be had as you explore.

Excellent recap
Thank you for the update.
I know I'm not perfect in Submissions or Approvals, but I'll be doing my best to 'unofficially' help out as properly as I can.
Good luck.
Question: I've seen this happening before, sites like IGN'S would post a recently announced news and it'll be explained in a 2 line paragraph with 'More To Follow' under it.
Am I allowed to submit those?
Yeah have fun guys with the mad rush trying to submit things first before everyone else.
Yeah I'm not doing that lol., E3 is like the Black Friday of N4G, but for submitting news
