Can't say that I disagree with your statement regarding the timing. Well, it shall be interesting to see Sir's defense.

Astonish one more thing, I don't think you'll be able to do perfect reports as being Mentor you got other responsibilities and your group too. Concentrate on one thing, you might lose everything you got.

My last report was summit was at 8:17 PM est. After that, my job is done for this weeks news. It is not my fault the news came out on Saturday morning, not Friday NIGHT.

I did this to prove a point. The point was that the old reporter reported three things a week, and I reported 40 things this week. My job is done. I am waiting for removal from the group.

Three things a week? He reported fifteen quality reports every week.
Let me also add something, the whole interview thing is crazy. It should be two a week. Not two last week, one this week, and then next week three and then the week after one. It should be two.

Show me them please. I was saying 3 as a joke. He reported 12 last week. He missed tons of reports.
In all fairness, I don't see the point of just putting lots of bans in the user news. Some are actually pointless, for example:

-Ϝanta was banned.
-Vater was banned.

There's not much of a point posting them, as anyone that looks at their profile would be able to realise that. The fact Mr. X reaching 1000 reputation points should have been at the top, instead of being at the bottom and between two bans, as it's a much better accomplishment and should be treated like so.

That's not the only problem I have with the news, the Gaming News headers are very close to the paragraph above it, it looks incredibly cluttered. Not to mention, the headers should be the same, as they are all different. (May releases/Video of the week).

Lastly, Richard's thread giving away 10% off power ($1) to hundreds of members should have been in there too, as well it's a very generous thing he is doing.

-Other than that, it was once again a fantastic addition.

Yeah Astonish, you're done. I gave you a chance to come back to the Writers, but you just try to push all blame of anything on me, then act like you weren't begging for weeks to get back in.

And also, I am talking with Michael Westen about his interviewer position, I am trying to give him a chance out of respect for his dedication.


@Scooter: If it's so important to you, why not replace Astonish as user news writer?

Some of the usernews is useless, and there were things posted that were BEFORE Friday that could have been added in. But otherwise it was good.

Mark Webbers ban wasn't in the news because it wasn't in your report. :P
It's not a biggie though, as most people already know about it, and word goes around fast here on HF.

Sir told me on skype if the user has more then 500 posts and more then 100 positive rep, it should be in there.
Woah, didn't see the last page till now.
Everyone should really just relax.
Calm down bros. <3
Sir, I was a reporter earlier. I wont mind getting back to HF News. I would gladly do the User News too.

Give Scooter a chance too.
I say we just forget the topic and move on. Anyway, I thought the news was great this week. Nice edition :).

Actually, I said to use your brain, but you wanted exact digits, so I said "at least" 500 posts and 100 reputation.
Stop trying to pin this on me. It was a horrible idea for me to give you a second chance, you just keep spiraling down and down. Trying to avoid any blame and trying to push it on me.

I would have to agree with you, I really like the gaming video that was selected. So much swag and awesome video editing skills.
