::I think it's not a bad idea to scrap the news blogs completely (unless it's something community related that's urgent/important) and just have it merged into the newsletter. I'll happily help out on the newsletter team with that. {{GGsig}} 21:50, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
:::Hmm... very complicated. Certainly users should be allowed to blog about things relevant to the game, and they should be allowed to provide some information on a release, if that is accompanied by a review or opinion of it. But the blogs that we place under the Sims News category are just that - news, not opinion. So one thing I'd say is that we make it a rule where only sysops can use the Sims News category. As for those other blogs, maybe we simply need to make it clearer that they should be opinion-based, not fact-based. The facts, after all, are most relevant in the content articles themselves. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 21:52, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
::::Disregard my paragraph, I just read GG's second posting, and I'd agree with just scrapping Sims News blogs. Most of what we report on is old news by the time we get to it anyways. I still think we should do community news regularly, not just in the newsletter. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 21:53, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
