Should we turn off the auto-post of stories?

Do you guys think we should turn off the auto posting of stories, or is it okay? We've been putting out so many stories per day that I don't want to completely over run everyone. Or is everyone okay with it? Really been trying to hit all stories and be within the minute of them dropping.

Let me know your thoughts.

If you don'r post them here I will read them on the home page, either way.

I like them here but it does seem overwhelming at times. I am glad for the ease of them and the up to the minute (like you say). I definately enjoy each article for what it is and would read them still if not here. Also it's easy to post thoughts related to the story right in the post. One doesn't have to read all around to get to that topic so a sort of double as an index.

Flip Side of the COIN

If the football only page was a little less crowded you would probably get a few more thread titles started by members. I do think 3/4 of the threads would still mimick the articles or close to them because, well............ there is only so much news available so doubling up would be the case. There would be more material to read just to find the topic you're looking for as (I'm guilty of sensationaliazation thread title) some thread titles take a little deciphering.

To summerize either way is fine and maybe you could do a trial periode (1-month) and see what it looks like.

Thank You and your entire everyone who contributes to make this the best STEELERNATION.COM website ever.

The News stories are going to be posted here by members also. what we end up with is a topic started by a member and then the SN post of the same "News" a few minutes later. I would pause those if given the choice

The articles written by the guys here are good though
 
I do like the mix of articles and threads started by posters. Days where maybe there are enough posts to take over half the first page is a bit much as it pushes some of the more active threads off the page. However, it is getting close to draft time so the news is obviously ramped up. I just love seeing football news and reading everyone's thoughts as we head into the draft.

No SIR, everyone hears the complaints but no one seems to remember to say thank you.

You're a part of this organization and a contributing factor in the success or the failure of said product.

Keep reading my post(s) and you will eventually get to being more successful than the alternative.



Just giving yaz shlit Coolie, you do great and even very knowledgeable on many topics, a pleasure.

more and more your posts remind me of DaBus......(wasn't that his name before he changed it?)
 
I think it doubles up on the topics more often than not. I could do without the auto-post. Love the writers stories wouldn't change that. Doesn't upset me if it stays the same, just my opinion..

Agreed. There is a difference between news and an article. To me an article is something in depth, researched, that someone else would not have thought to post. But say when they signed Trubisky for example. That was going to be talked about on the forum ad nauseum. The article becomes redundant.
 
I like to read the articles and honestly I never go to the main page so here in the forum is where I can click on them. If it's just news then it can go on the main page, but when it's in depth info then I'm glad to find it here.

Anyway news posts can always be merged with the one generated by us here right? Or is it kind of unnecessary double work?
 
I find most of them interesting and allows discussion to start.

Although I will admit, the talk of selecting a QB in RD1, trading up or not, is getting old. The draft can't come soon enough.
 
i see you guys are arguing with Collie. I have his dumbass on ignore to keep my IQ from plummeting through the basement.
