Moderators Anniversary On The Forum

ErykYT3

Am I allowed to post a thread in Tech News about a missing tech prototype? I remember back in 2010, there was a debacle when Gizmodo bought a stolen iPhone prototype in a bar. Let's say someone managed to pick up the next iPhone 12 in a bar but instead of selling it to a tech site, he/she just took pictures of the product and post it here in LTT. 

Image result for gizmodo iphone 4

 

But then it resulted Gizmodo getting ban hammered from all Apple events. https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2364707,00.asp

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

That's unfortunate. :P

So we get every staff member to participate in this thread, then anarchy can ensue.

@Crunchy Dragon said general rule, we get too crazy I'm sure they would still lock it, and then @wkdpaul bans everyone.

As long as it's not just a rumor or old news.

 

Say for example, if there was a post about Razer's triple screen laptop getting stolen posted today, it would get locked since the news isn't really relevant anymore.

Saw it, but figured the Beatles would be better, I haven't listened to that one you linked but the one I linked sounded cool from what I listened to, before refreshing the page and losing my spot. . .

So how much money will Linus Media Group pay me if I found a lost iPhone 12 prototype? ?

I dislike practically all the mainstream music, especially rap.

Mainstream rap is basically sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.

 

NF is actually the second rap I've come to appreciate. The first was anything involving Mike Shinoda. Linkin Park, Fort Minor, solo work. He's still my favorite, but NF is also really good.

Many mainstream rappers hire ghostwriters so their talents are questionable

How many mainstream artists actually write their own lyrics?

Diss tracks are great, I used to write those with some friends at school when we got bored.
