    i supose, but all in all thats a horrid business practice. why shun the communites that will bring them alot of their content and traffic.

    so heres teh idea.... everyone set up a webpage on their servers with rss feeds to their posts, we can exchange those links instead... bah what a joke

    ya emailed them asking what happend with my stories

    I did notice this

    What about reporting bad or broken stories?
    Shoutwire allows for self-moderation and management by the community. Every story will have a link called "report problem". This problem reporting link will allow you to report a variety of problems with the story. Once the story gets enough reports, it will automatically be dealt with by our system.

    This is worrisome. Any follow-up on why it was deleted or why they considered it junk?

    Well i guess they are deleting everybodys post related to DP in someway. Even though i removed my link i guess they got it by the username, since it was the same. Thats not fair, if the post doesnt get votes let it be, why delete it? :confused:

    honestly i am starting to think that the "other people" using this site prolly have multiple accounts and are removing any frontpage competition... atleasts thats my guess at this point since i have received no word back from shoutwire. i did find out its owned by aol.... which could explain everything....

    well yes, because it's not news..........the first one is a promotional piece about your website.
