Recently I was interested in posting an update to the 8.0 mag earthquake reported in the south Pacific and was unable to due to the 'Pending' nature
of the initial report. I remember in the past that the process that a story undergoes prior to being "reply-able" was much faster. Now, the 8.0
earthquake is older news and even though the Tsunami Alert has been called off for the South Pacific, ATS fans will never know unless someone posts
another news item to tell everyone.
What if there was a tsunami and a bunch of news to report due to it? Tough luck...the original post is still locked as Pending.
I used to come here to look for and discuss breaking news. It appears as if this is no longer possible under the revised ATS. Frankly, it's a
shame.
