Some of you may have noticed that we've removed the front page news for now. This was in response to a copyright infringement notice for some of the articles.
As a reminder, you should only be posting at most snippets of an article and linking to the original source. We tried to encourage this but it's never been enforced that heavily as it's difficult to police and the responsibility for posting lies with the user. Having said that, we want to come up with a good solution and will need some time to decide on how we approach it.
Ideally I'd like to see much more user generated content on the front page rather than simply repeating news articles but again, we need to do it in a way that works.
In the mean time, please be aware that we're going to need to be very strict about this and it applies to everywhere on the forums and front page. You shouldn't be posting entire articles taken from elsewhere.
Cheers
Rob
