Since the ref decided to lock the other thread, I will post here.
What does 'user contributed sites' mean vs. 'news sites'. How do you define what a news site is?
And what is so bad about WFNY? Have you bothered to read the articles? There's some great 'posts' there and worth discussing. Why can't I post a link about Josh Cribbs being used a lot b/c it's WFNY; meanwhile if Grossi or Cabot would say the same thing, that would be perfectly acceptable. And very debatable where the better content would be.
Is there an ETA on when the rules of this board could reflect the year 2010? And not 1995?

Rule of thumb: If any old Joe Schmoe can post on it, it's user-driven content.
News site: generally linked to a media outlet (ie a newspaper or tv station).

Which employ just any old Joe Schmoe, but that's another story.

Joe Schmuckatelli is the preferred name, FYI.
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

There is no consistency, that is the consistency. And when you press the issue, you get deleted or the thread gets locked.  Yet inappropriate smack in places remains as does name-calling.
