NEWS: Survey: Most Important/Interesting News

I would personally like to see more news on sales numbers.

The problem with the last question is it lets anyone add another option to the list. Already there are weird redundancies showing up. And what's with the all-caps 'and'? At least edit them before they're added to the list ....

The last section of this survey should be multi-optional. I had to go with Obituaries cause that's pretty important.

I would have also chosen the fact that there shouldn't be any jumping of the gun. Then again, this site is basically a gossip column anyways, and one of recent examples being the ADV thing that just proves the fact that that's what this sites news is all about. Another example would be Kodomo no Jikan, but I'll leave it at that.

I only use this site for it's encyclopedia anyways for the most part and only if I see a worthwhile survey or some real news that I haven't seen somewhere else.

We didn't "jump the gun" on anything, we reported on an event, which was ADV pulling a bunch of titles off of their website. That's newsworthy. We didn't speculate in the article. If people get all panicked about an event like that, it's not our fault for reporting facts and events.

It wasn't "gossip", ADV pulled those titles off of their website, and they're still gone now. We reported each and every statement and factual update to that situation as they happened.

Also, if ANN didn't report it, someone would have soon noticed and posted it in the forums anyway. It would probably cause even more of a panic then since it would probably be accompanied by: "OMG! ADV is going out of business!!!!!" or something like that.

They are definitely editing them, though I think they might get submitted right away and cleaned up every once in a while. They edited mine at some point (thankfully, since I didn't think I had worded it very well). I had originally said "people who died" or something like that where they have "obituaries". Also, the list of choices looks shorter and is definitely in a different order than the last time I looked at it, so they must be cleaning them up.

Also, I've noticed that the only way I can view the poll again is to log out of my account. I wanted to see what new choices people were submitting to the last question, and I realized that was the only way to do it. Personally, I think with more choices being added, you should be able to view the survey again and change your choice, in case someone comes up with a good choice that you didn't think of.
