Is there any particular reason that nowadays there are no links to original blogs/announcements/whatever on newsposts?
Sourcing to originals is just plain good manners on these things.

Yes. Infinitron doesn't give a shit.
Seeing Israel's "anything goes attitude" and how the international community eats it all up really unlocked his inner psychopath. Get ready to get palestinian'd. When they blow up Palestinian parliament, he blows up Codex's longstanding link policy. It's just the beginning. There's not going to be a Palestine and there's not going to be a Codex. We'll all be forcefully relocated to the Watch and rpghq, and only poe1 fanboys will be permitted to stay, while Infinitron engages in Sawyer's semen preservation efforts.

Sorcerer's Place and RPGWatch actually agreggate news much better than Codex. Every day there are several news posts. Here they are infrequent, and favor the mainstream or Obsidian.

We can only work with the Jew we've got. I asked for another one a while back but apparently there's this whole thing where they need them for some strip club called Gaza or something. Gaza Strip? Anyway, I think it's a beach resort there's some big show at.

It's just another sign of someone who would prefer to retire but can't/won't for various reasons. He's been at it for 11 years which is much longer than any other newsposter before him.

Allow users to post news. It's how reddit became one of the largest sites. If a news article gets >10 brofists on the forum, it gets posted on the main page.

Simple, yet impossible to achieve for the dumb dumbs of the codex administration.

Back in the early days of RPGHQ, Rusty tried to emulate the RPG Codex approach of having a news subforum, but no one really wanted to do it. Eventually came to the conclusion that we didn't really need one or a front page. News about games gets posted in the games subforum. Reviews get posted in a review subforum where they're approved if the quality is up to snuff. The front page is a relic of a by-gone age.

Nobody wanted to become a regular newsposter or nobody wanted to post any news, given a possibility?

People don't mind making posts about games that catch their interest. No one wanted to be a designated "post news about all the RPGs in this subforum" poster.

I never said to designate anyone. I said ALLOW ALL USERS TO POST.

Why on earth should we care what's done around in rpghq, a stillborn site, which probably doesn't need a front page or any pages any pages for that matter, tbf?

So we want better new posts but constantly shit on the Jew/Infini for making news posts? A bit paradoxical if you ask me.
People want to shit on the news guy for being a shill for kool kredits and not including links makes that harder
Infinitron does not do his job. He doesn't curate, he just spams whatever pops up in his normie-ass feed. This retard is so tone deaf he found the ONE shill review for that bullshit Drizzt game and posted it, then acts upset when people call him out.

That's interesting.. because also nobody wants to read "news about all the RPGs in this subforum".

Feels like the solution is right in front of us.
