329. would be better if there was explanation
Edited on Tue Feb-02-10 10:26 PM by Snazzy
when something gets moved from LBN, like as is done when a post is locked. Mod makes a post and says I'm moving and here's why (on the stub that gets left behind at least). It's discouraging when something that is news gets moved, which happens.

Likewise, but tougher, when a quick look suggests it's not by lbn policy (blog post) but is on examination actual news broken by a blog. You can't ask, but in an alert, or you appear to be calling out mods.

I see some of the most prolific DU lbn news hounds get inexplicable moves to GD or more obscure places on some hot button stories. They know the rules, why were they wrong? No one knows. It turns into Kremlinology.

(also unrec on news is still stupid).

There's probably a lot of people out there like me that use LBN as their primary news source (it kicks ass too). No room for hiding controversy if it's what in the actual national news or pertinent and actual news no matter the source.
