QUIT DISCUSSING THINGS!! You want this thread locked down too?!?!?!?
Forums are for discussion. What is this, Nazi Germany? You'll never silence me!
Discussion would only be prohibited on that specific thread. I'm not sure how people are equating this with censorship. It is simply a method of sorting and categorizing information to make it easier to find quickly.
I like the idea a little bit. Yet, I think it is a bit redundant. It could also foster gossip about things that we don't know the whole story to before there is time for the facts to come out.
Pros:
News links in one thread (should be quick to find)
Could sticky the news thread to each forum topic i.e. MBB; WBB; FB; VB
It could give us more information about things to lean about like details of what actually happens at a camp, or for kids event....
Cons:
News thread becomes it's own mega thread and hard to look through
The thread would get buried by the discussion threads so it would take the extra time to dig and find it
Threads could become the center of gossip about players for those that stalk their Facebook; twitter, ect...
It could project inaccurate facts about situations before more could be known leading to massive CF meltdown.
but I think most of us can agree that cat GIF's and Spiderman memes are not newsworthy.

Nah. CF collective intelligence >>>>> Google
Pros:
News links in one thread (should be quick to find) Best for people who don't spend countless hours, which does not include anyone posting against this idea in this thread because they all live on here.

Cons:
News thread becomes it's own mega thread and hard to look through Not hard to look through, you just start up where you left off and don't have a bunch of worthless posts in between
The thread would get buried by the discussion threads so it would take the extra time to dig and find it Easily solved by a sticky, or a bump each time it is modified
Threads could become the center of gossip about players for those that stalk their Facebook; twitter, ect. This happens already anyway
It could project inaccurate facts about situations before more could be known leading to massive CF meltdown. This happens already anyway
People may ignore it and just look at the discussion thread about it (faster, easier to find) If it is stickied, this thread would be easy to find. If it is bumped to top with each addition, this would be easy to find.
