This is not meant to be taken in any personal way. I simply have one question for this topic: what happens to news blogs posted to non-News Team members? Should they automatically be deleted or should they be fixed? If they are deleted, what happens to the news they contained and who gets credit for finding it should it be reposted?

Dont we still have Forum:News Team? DrkDragonz66   Talk  Contribs  Combat Arms   21:25, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

Smuff closed it due to it getting too personal. Poketape^Talk 21:26, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like it if the news blog was moved from the original poster's blog, to a news team user's blog and then given the news categories. The original poster will then be accredited at the top/bottom of the blog for finding the information and posting it in the first place. Otherwise, the user can still keep their blog in their own blogspace, but no news categories can be used.      23:47, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

I like that idea. Shotrocket6 02:42, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

And who would move it? Poketape^Talk 02:58, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

...an administrator. Shotrocket6 02:59, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

And who would decide if it gets moved? Poketape^Talk 03:00, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Good question. I would assume it would be someone on the news team, as they are the ones that decide which news they want to post in a blog anyway, so I don't see any other way they could reach an agreement. Shotrocket6 03:02, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

How would they know to look for a news blog if it wasn't categorized as such? Poketape^Talk 03:46, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

They'd see it in the recent changes/activity feed. Shotrocket6 05:33, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

What if none of them are online? There's only six News Team members. Couldn't the blogs be lost in the recent changes? Poketape^Talk 06:12, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Its not that hard to look for new blogs, other users can just notify the news team if a news blog is posted. DrkDragonz66   Talk  Contribs  Combat Arms   21:45, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

yeah, post on news team guy's talk. Not hard. YELLOWLUCARIO ^TALK  21:57, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Blogs will be commented on, they will still be in the news feed by the time someone from the news team see's it. If that fails, then per Drk. TheDocRichtofen (Talk) 22:01, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

So then there should be a category for possible news blogs. Poketape^Talk 23:31, November 20, 2011 (UTC)
