As much as I enjoy good drama, the actual Tanki reporters have become sort of of a club now, and they seem to want nothing more than to be the only exclusive little club, so they did their best to take you out. I really wish you could pull yourselves together and create something better than the news clique currently in existence, I don't think it would be too hard. And if copying their ideas makes them mad, by all means, do it, and don't apologize. They did their damage already.  Pull your team together, if your the leader you can't just sit by and watch, straighten them out. They're your crew, don't kick them, you can't just dispose of the ones you don't find preferable.

 

If I could recommend anything, close this, start over, shed this thread. Get an artist to make the first post all pretty, re-name it something cool, like a real paper. Tell your crew what to do, give out assignments. Set deadlines. That's your job. Micro-manage the ones that can't manage themselves. Make logos, write about things you have actual experience in, do research. Get an artist to draw cartoons. Run contests. This could be much better than it is. Don't look to the reporters for inspiration, they aren't any standard to aspire to, look to actual, professional writers. Being like them is not good enough, be better. And when you get better than them, get even better. Make the Tanki reporters stare in pure envy.

 

They relocated you to a little-visited section of the forums, own that, be the one thread that draws them in.

I disagree with the first part, about the reporters being their own little club, and they probably have missiles somewhere else. But I think a revamp would be good.

The only drama I can see here here is between TWG and ex members. While I've been leaving TWG alone to get on with stuff, I will comment to dispel this false allegation. If I really wanted TWG gone, and the reporters to be the only people who write, they would be. However that is not what I want, hence TWG still exists. The reporters are not an exclusive club either, if there's anyone out there, including members of TWG, who reach the standards we require in writing and maturity, we'd love to hear from them.

Copying material is plagiarism, which is the technical term for theft of intellectual property. Plagiarism is just a real a crime as stealing physical goods, therefore you are encouraging theft.

 

What makes you think he's going to accept you after all you've done here to get yourself a bad image in the community? 

Another ugly consequence of plagiarism: it ruins your reputation, meaning no one will consider publishing or even reading your work.

 

I think I may be the only one who remembers the original point of personia's topic. So to try to push this derailed topic back onto a planet that actually has train tracks, I'd like to ask a rather interesting question: "Are any members of this group planning to publish anything soon? I mean, really, is anything creative being done?"

This topic is crazy. I agree with Laser when he said you should open a new topic. Restart fresh, try to keep a good record, and let others enjoy your writing. I actually liked most of your articles, and I dont think you should quit.

What happened was NOT plagiarism, and was NOT illegal. Your talking about a stolen idea, news flash, ideas aren't protected under copyright law. Plagiarism is where people steal original text without citation.

Nobody cares what plagiarism is or is not. If you don't know what it is by now, you should get off your stupid computer and go to school. 

 

Enough, ok? Enough. If this was real life and all of this crap had gone on for so long, I would be so angry it is not funny. As it is, the pointless comments about plagiarism and crap are just that: Pointless! All of the members (to my knowledge anyway) who plagiarised have been kicked from the TWG. And all of this continuation is just a waste of everybody's time. 

 

Even more than that, it makes it really hard to run a ship when people are popping holes in it from the inside and the outside. 

 

So. Stop. And having said all that, I'm telling everyone now so that we all have something to look forward to. 

 

We publish on Wednesday!

Hey, and if you plan on starting over, I can help you make your paper all nice and purdy. I draw stuffs.

If you want to, I might just change the name and see if Issho can remove say, five pages worth of posts and then we'd be good to go, so you can make a front page and I'll see what I think okay? Because the TWG does need a new look. :)

I already asked him once to remove all the posts regarding the issue recently, but got no positive reply.

You aren't the leader, so I don't see why he would without permission from me anyway. (Not that he actually needs permission from me, but it would be polite for him to ask (To Issho: Please don't take this the wrong way, I would like you to delete the posts. I'm just stating some things)).

The issue was not just regarding the leader, it was common for all members, equally. And as I was a member, I had the right too.

And no, I am not willing to fight anymore.

Good Luck

Sorry, but nor you nor the Leader has the right to request the removal of legit posts - those posts which are fine to stay public will not be removed, that would be power abuse.

Alright, when you come up with a new name, let me know, and maybe I can come up with something worthy of your paper.

Will be waiting for publish day on Wednesday, all the best to you guys!

 

Why don't you guys create a Google Group for the TWG, and publish articles in Google Docs? That way, all you need to do is post the link every month in this thread :D

 

Unless you have other plans :ph34r:
