Playing Devil’s advocate… All the posts seem to have legitimate content and seem to be providing some sort of value to the forum as well as being in the appropriate section. I’m not sure what the complaint is after reading the heavily merited OP. That people are providing too many news articles? I could see if you were posting legitimate news links and then someone blindly posted the same subject, but if the press links are legitimate and not duplicates, should we not be thanking the people posting them?
How do you feel when see a user called 'waybesuricata' making posts continuously? Sharing potential news posts isn't bad, but doesn't mean we should create multiple threads for each short of news. They are just getting news from a site and sharing it here. What's the problem if you merge all today's news to one thread and add the link. So the reader could click the link to read desired news. That's the issue. One or more news sites just spamming with their links. As a result, a few potential news went down and down.

I am curious, did you read all the news provided by waybesuricata? If not who are reading actually?

How do I feel about it? I guess appreciative that someone is taking the time to document all these articles for the forum.

It seems like it’s being done that way so that if people want to search for specific articles or dates they can easily. Just a guess. I have no idea what the motivation is.

I haven’t read many articles from that section. The only time I ever end up there is when I’m searching for something specific.
