Sta.sh
I have seen so many non-news articles being posted here, however this is not what has infuriated me somewhat as you'd might think.
What bothers me is that so many Deviants keep replying with repeated posts complaining that it isnt news, and that dA should do something.
Stop and think; what are you doing by gracing it with a stream of replys?
These boards are now in our hands to mod, if something isn't news don't respond by flameing the article as it is this which keeps such posts active.
What many of you may not know yet, if an article is just rubbish spam or should be on the forums, simply return to the main news page and click on the (rather obscurely named) 'UH-OH' LINK under the articles title and select the correct selection.
I assume that once enough people have done this the article will be dropped from the news page.
If any dA staff want to make it any clearer how the new system is supposed to work, please do!
Lets reclaim the News board for its intended purpose.
(also ive seen alot of 'job' type advertisments, now although a few people might find this intresting I for one dont think such articles belong as News but rather in the jobs board on the forums.)

People do love to complaint though!
/me ends irony.
perhaps note people and tell them? less visible and embarassing for some.
