Would anyone be interested in this?
Basically the way I have this clicking in my head (LCD gave me the idea) is that people post news \ original content. Depending on the length and quality of the news article (Or perhaps how many times it's been read or SOMETHING) we award points.
Again, must be original and not copied and pasted.
Thoughts?
honestly it sounds like a opening for a spam ground. Someone can google a long article from a poker blog and paste in for points.
what do u mean xactly?? I post articles and news i read in the news a lot,, but u mean, we cant cut and paste? I<M not sure i get what u mean ? we have to retype them?
If I am reading this correctly, you would get more points if the post has more quality?? If so I think this would be a great idea!
Yes, I've seen this in action elsewhere^^^^.Quote:

is this like a blog idea? I think that we could have like a blog thing that would be cool, although I dunno how it would be different than starting one in the forum like usual.
That's why I also recommend a staff member dedicated to moderate this also. Or maybe assigned staff that can only post news and articles. Maybe have to submit application an sample article to be on the team? Great for bringing traffic with good keywords etc. from articles which will get the site more visitors from search engines etc.Quote:

It would be for people who are good at writing articles of their own off the top of the head based off information the know or learned.Quote:

Not hard *cough* not to point no fingers but *fingers pointed inward* he can do it.Quote:

Poker News - Legal, Industry and Tournament updates from PartTimePoker
Poker Strategy Articles - Learn & Improve - Tips & Strategies
Poker Strategy | Articles and Free Videos From PartTimePoker
oh ok, that kinda clarifies. So this would be someone writing an original piece about a news article they read...something like that? Sounds like a lot of work, but if there is someone out there willing or wanting to do it, could be kool. How many points would a good piece get? is that dependent on quality/content/viewings? how would that be determined?Quote:

One is just having an article section in the forum to post links in, basically the same way we do now, just with its own specific section. The other would be to have a section where PO members actually write articles to be published here. The best way to make sure a system like this wasn't abused would be to have someone review each submission before it's published on the site and make sure it isn't plagiarized and that the content is valuable, then award points. I think it could be very interesting.
Yeah I'm blogging now L2PokerQuote:

if....IF the threads etc are moderated and fucktards that spam are banned then im all for it
yeah it sounds like there's going to be a lot of copying and pasting going on with that
Then they will get denied and the normal user won't ever see the spamQuote:

My thoughts
- Listed on the front page (below the progressive prize pool boxes) will be 2 sections (sort by newest and highest rated) User news and Blogs (Or maybe we just do blogs?)
- When you submit something it goes into a holding pattern (A que) where Myself, Mods and possibly a few selected other users can read it and verify it's original content AND it's worthy of being posted on the front page
- If it gets approved, it gets posted (You get some points)
- You get XX points for the amount of times it gets view (Some fraud stuff in here to make sure you aren't just clicking your own)
- You get points depending on how long it is
- You get points depending on how well the community rates the quality
Thoughts?
those are pretty easy to figure out...Quote:
