Question: News Submissions?

[Angel of Death]

As much as I like the automated news bot, I think that pulling from a single source (Slashdot) may be a mistake.

There are many stories that are just as much a milestone as some of the other major developments in the industry.

My question, is there a way, or is there a plan to allow members to submit news stories to a moderation queue and allow mods to "approve" the story for posting?

I have a story regarding a Fallout MMO and Bethesda's attempt to rescind the liscense from Interplay to publish the MMO, but newsbot hasn't picked up on it due to the fact that it doesn't seem that /. hasn't posted it.

Actually, the GHQ News section features many RSS sources, not just Slashdot, including: GameSpot, GamersHell, CNET and others.

I do like the idea of member-submitted news articles, providede that they are well written and include verified sources (linked) and preferably some screenshots.

I will consider changing the news forum settings so that members can submit threads, but which will be moderated (not visible until approved/edited by GHQ staff).
