Reaffirming the "Breaking Alternative News" Forum

I understand and don't
explanation of what is alternative and breaking remains vague

You have to remember that ATS is just like any other site on the Internet. If the Admins and/or Moderators on the site decide to do something a certain way, you can either continue to complain and be moderated more or move on to another forum. That is how it is elsewhere, and that is how it is here.

As far as the "cleaning up the 'Breaking Alternative News' forum" goes, I'm glad this is being done.

could be that some of us do not know how to post anywhere but the "breaking alternative news" forum. I haven't posted in years (but a daily reader). I tried the other day to submit a new post, and could not figure out how to post in any other forum. It would just direct me to breaking alternative news. Could be I am an idiot , but also could be part of the reason that you get a lot of posts in that forum. How do I pick which forum I wish to submit a post for? Maybe we should have a scroll down box to choose which forum we want when hitting the submit button to write a post?

When you hit the submit button on the toolbar above ^^^

You will see this:




The bolded above are links to the proper submission form.

If it fits on AP, hit the Submit Political News

If it fits in BTS, hit Submit General News

Hope that helps when you are trying to create News threads.

it does thank you. (and prompt! wow) . But say I wish to post in lost civilizations for example. Can I choose to post in that forum? Again, I may be an idiot, but when I hit submit I only see the choice for breaking alternative news, political news, and general news.

You can only make normal topics in those and for those you use the
Usual New Topic option.

Its only for news submissions for the news areas in the forum that you use the Submit option.

ok.. NM!
