After just reviewing what you originally posted as news item, I do not think think that this is worthy to be approved as a news release.  It should be just a forum discussion thread.  

We are trying to raise the standards of news items here and encourage them as more formal press releases.


That is an oxymoron... There are unfortunately few if not many "Amiga" companies trying to promote their "news" with formal press releases which make them look like clowns.


*Amen* brother! "Little people" in a hobby community that's *mentally* sitting on high horses writing Microsoft style PR's has always been laughable... :roflmao:

Well, on this subject, some time ago I posted a few news items that I thought would be of public interest; a new version of mplayer for MorphOS as well as the public availability of the fourth beta of E-UAE with PPC JIT for MorphOS. Both were news items about very important MorphOS SW, definitely (IMHO at least) worthy a "heads up" in the news flow!

When time went by and it didn't pop up in the news, and other stuff popped up instead, I made forum posts of it instead.

I also want to point out that those *accepted* news items that followed wasn't exactly written as "formal Press Releases" either.

And neither is this one, approved just the other day: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=68050

If users can trust moderators and site owners or other moderators don't know what is going on.... How can you let site run like this? Should not you communicate with each other? Apparently every moderator is having his own opinion what is good and bad and some just lose their temper. Looks like owners don't care anymore.

Maybe they run their shop like this, too.

(Edit: this site is front end to AmigaKit store. Think that.)


*Amen* brother #2!
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)
