You are now the most important people on the site.

Please write news, post videos and upload photos. You shall rise to the top.

I will promise you, we're building our entire business around the success of the media people born from Newschoolers. That is why we did the homepage the way we did it.

We want the media people to be the new rockstars of the site.

Also note that if you care about media, jump into the various sections and give good stuff upvotes.

Everything on the homepage is under your control now.

Nope, wasn't me!

See that is the key... the splash page is picked automatically by the community. New homepage does the same thing.

Put your good stuff on, people upvote, gets prominently featured.

So glad I jumped on this M&A train. Can't wait to get some content out. Will an interview with Steve Stepp be sufficient? What should I post it under?

how have you jumped on the M&A train when you have only released an update video in the year you have been bragging about your superior company.

jesus christ, it's not like the kid is pissing in your gas tanks or even calling everyone's work shit.

the worst he does is not produce anything and talk in forums like he knows a lot about camera gear.

chill the fuck out, why should someone be banned from NS because you think they're annoying?

See if it were up to me, I'd go all the way on this thing... make forums ordered by votes, and have threads have a filter where too many downvotes automatically bans you.

People in general say they wouldn't like this.

That would lead to some crazy forum politics. Certain cults could just get together and down vote everything someone posts and get them banned. Shit would be crazy. But it might also work.

Its all a math question. I'd also argue that if enough people voted to ban someone... maybe they should go?

I mean right now the mods decide... what is different?

Bigtime. We're the people's media now.

And we're coming for you, traditional media. No longer will the man tell us what is and isn't cool.

can you see a certain posters activity on any thread or forum all in one page?

because what you could do is have a system where, if they got enough downvotes, they would be put on a moderation list where you guys could run a "background check" and see what they've been posting and if they're banworthy. that way people can point out the "bad" NSers and you guys can make the ultimate decision.

System doesn't exist, but in theory with enough time, money and reason we can build anything.

I'd go so far as to say if such a system existed, it should go to a jury elected by the people.

I have no problem with the idea of the people of the site electing groups to make decisions.

Exactly my point.

I thoroughly enjoy most of Splice's post. They're utterly hilarious. I don't get why he gets so much hate. He is either trolling or just the most naive kid with the weirdest image of himself. Either way: don't ban him. I'd MUCH rather see another part of this site go than him.

Change is always interesting, I do like the thought put into the update though, as well as the intended focus on and promotion of members of the media community on NS because there are some damn talented folks.

He's had a lot of front page photo. In the old system you'd get a shit ton of karma cus each photo would get like 40,000 views.
