Pentax news and rumors - everything goes there

*Matjazz* · 04-01-2008, 02:20 AM

Every since K20D and K200D are out I noticed a bunch of posts in the "Pentax news and rumors" forum that don't belong there. One can find posts about new software from Adobe, links to reviews, sales from individual shops, buying guides, links to sample pics from existing cameras, complaints about stolen images...etc... Actually there are less than half posts regarding Pentax news or rumors.
The "Pentax news and rumors" became the "Hear me out / everything goes" forum. I think moderators should start moving posts out of there or change the title of that forum.

If you see misplaced threads, please report them using the report feature, as it's nearly impossible for the moderators and me to check every forum daily!

Ah, it's the little red flag below avatar. Will do.

Just took care of your reported threads- FYI, 3 of those that you reported were actually not misplaced. I moved the other two.

One last question. How come the following thread is in the right place (in the Pentax news and rumors)?

I can't believe that people are stretching the fair use laws to support this guy. I'm downright enraged at this point. I'm going to knock on some doors if it doesn't get pulled quickly enough.

So out of context and so not cool.

ARGH!

Because, it's his forum. If he thinks it's in the right place, then it's in the right place.

Sheesh! Self-appointed forum police are very annoying.

hmm... OK
I'd still like to hear it from Adam even if he says "because I said so"

Because it's a rant/rumor thread

Part of the reason I made the Official News forum was that we needed a section for exactly such threads.
