WE, comrades of TPU, want to ensure the quality of our community forum. In particular, we want the NEWS section to be fresh, sharp, and to the point. Preferably devoid of propaganda, marketing spin, copy+paste "copy", and other nonsense. While most news posting is excellent, there is an increasing amount of "marketing content" in the news recently.
I have 3 suggestions:
1. There should be 2 news sections, "real news", focusing on what TPU prides itself, ie. tech knowledge and expertise; and a new "spin news" section.
2. A request for news posters to improve the quality of their news postings, ie. less "spin" in "real news"
3. Some voting system on the news postings to improve quality of the "real news" section. Perhaps this is a new button called [SEND TO NEWS SPIN], which moves (or votes to move) a news item OUT of real news, and into SPIN. Alternatively, 2 voting buttons [Quality News] and[Spin] which a reader can press. It will calculate a percentage of "appreciation" for the news items. If a news poster is getting a LOW LOW percentage... then perhaps it will encourage the newsposter to adapt the style/content of postings
