You need to go back and read what I posted. I already said Kid Nate sucks. My question was one of curiosity.

I kinda figured he/they didn't I was just curious. I really wonder some times if they even care about the forums, you guys do a decent enough job without the correspondence from the admin anyway so I guess they figure "bah, just let em do as they please.

No offense meant for the people that run this site, or take care of it and these forums. I just don't see much of a difference between Kid Nate's articles and say, mmanews' staff writer John Specht's blogs. Examples here:
MMA News - John Specht's blog - *Sonnen-The Great OZ*
MMA News - John Specht's blog - *Iceman To StrikeForce?*
MMA News - John Specht's blog - *Kos Due For Beatdown*
MMA News - John Specht's blog - *Florian To Slap Maynard*

Both are just opinions that show bias towards certain fighters, and are not worth any more than that. Certainly neither show too much respectable journalism. It's all about "shock" and "entertainment", rather than being informative.

I'm just curious why one opinion would be excepted over another. Not that I'll go against this rule (even if I could post anywhere but the noobjack forum), I'm just curious.

Great question, and duly repped for it. To be honest, I'd never seen Sprecht's stuff before you brought it to my attention.

I don't have control over what's written for our site, but I have some degree of control as to where it goes.

I agree that Sprecht's stuff is as weak and poorly written as Nates, and if it got posted in the General forum with any regularity, I'd noobjack it, as well.

One of my bachelor's degrees is in journalism. I understand that controversy attracts attention, and I understand that the owners of the site would probably want attention rather than great writing...much like I'd assume whoever owns BE feels about Nate.

My issue is dealing with trolls and clueless mopes in the main forum, and crap like this just exacerbates the general level of stupidity--already too high for my own liking--in the general forums.

Well, when one of those people is me--and another one is Mac--his "compositions" can go to noobjack for all his fans to entertain. Or better yet, they can go to bloodyelbow.

i don't understand what the big deal is. Just as many people have access to noobjack, if they want to read this garbage they can go there. Or better yet, as rivet said, go to bloody elbow. It's the same thing with War Machine threads, I see one of those and it goes to noobjack.
