[2/10/13] - HF News

Fine edition 🤝
I'll be looking forward to next weeks news.
I got Master Donator on the same day the last edition was posted, thought it would've been on the last edition. Waited for this edition, it isn't on this edition either. thafug.

The User News really lacks each and every edition but no one will fix that problem.
I guess so, I waited 10 days for this edition and didn't even make it in this edition. Oh well, fuck it.

The same thing requested every edition. A writer who actually takes the time to add each reported user news and someone who can spend 5 minutes to do a little bit of research so we don't get faulty reports or outdated ones.

I really like the HF News and I have respect for the people who volunteer to do it. But I do agree that there are times when it seems like better or more information could have been used. When I was the Gaming News writer I spent at least an hour working on only the Gaming News adding every bit of information I felt could be beneficial to each edition. I just feel that each reporter should spend all the time and effort required to make their portion of the news as detailed and high in quality as possible. Not trying to offend anyone. :P

There have been a few times that I can recall where information was either false or lacked detail.
The person who does the user news is Mr. Anderson. You can message him about it or Sir. He has been doing it for quite some time I do believe.

I remember a few weeks ago it was missing half the reports in the report thread. 🤦‍♂

Yeah, Mr. Anderson was recruited shortly after I started doing the gaming news in April of last year. He usually puts his own threads in the Important Threads section nearly every week, which is fine considering he's the reporter for that portion of the news and as long as he's putting threads up it's okay. But he should really just be sure to look over all the reports that have been posted before submitting his final draft of his reports.


Other than that though, the edition is pretty good. That's the only complaint I really have, no offense to anyone. Good work news team. 🤝


Also, Mr Kewl is not a leader of the Angels. I'll just contact Sir and inform him of the necessary changes.

Mainly, a lot of comma splices, and run-on sentences. For example:

Quote:Recently a lot of drama has evolved around the group 'The Angels,' owned by Sandshrew, when Sandshrew bought the group, he borrowed large amounts of money to support the price on demand for previously named group 'Logic' owned by Hexicidal.


I like your style of writing, but perhaps you need to re-read, and revise based on what sounds better. Also, when writing news you should be writing at about an 8th grade level, and it should be very simple writing. Try to be concise, but with details.

Here is what I would have written for the first sentence. Whether it is better or not isn't up to me, and I am no writing expert or connoisseur. Eh, maybe it is just me lol. 😊

A lot of drama has recently evolved around the group, The Angels, which is owned by Sandshrew. Sandshrew had purchased this group, which had formerly been 'Logic', a group owned by Hexicidal, by borrowing large amounts of money from various people.
Good edition and as always I appreciate the work you guys put into it. thanks.
Sad to see so much hate over the grammar of a simple paragraph. It's understandable. The user news is fine, if we know the missing information just post it on the thread, once again there is no need to start judging certain members of the news team because they missed out a name or two. Good job guys keep it up 👍
So this is the third time I've written the Music news. Do you guys think it's okay; is there anything you think I need to improve upon? Thanks!
I wonder who it is, maybe old good Justin? Can someone verify that?
