Two things that are bad about MTGnews that you all should know about in anticipation of some of there members coming here....
Pointless posters: There are those at MTGnews that post solely for the purpose of getting more posts. I dunno why they do it.....competion would be the most likely answer I guess. Preventing this from happening could be as easy as getting rid of the post count keepers under your screen name maybe. Now, I can say that this is what is the worst part about MTGnews. They post basically pointless posts that are not worth reading, and they don't even consider what they are doing spam.....they are the worse part about MTGnews. I keep repeating it because I think it bears repeating
Flamers and spammers: I don't think that modding is as important as how the posters react to them. Spammers do what they do because they enjoy getting people pissed. Now over at MTGnews whenever a piece of spam or a flame is posted there are members that jump on it and start yelling at them for doing it. I think you should make it clear that is NOT acceptable and will be punished as much as the spamming.
Hope that helps a bit. MTGnews and the CPA are REALLY different type boards.....I think there are good and bad points to both. If a lot of their posters joined here and those good points of both were intergrated it would make for an insanely fun bunch of boards I think
