The inevitable barrage of crap has already begun infiltrating the news system, and eventually it will stop being funny and really start pissing us off instead. To avoid this situation arising please avoid posting news about the topics below:
- Jark was fired! - We know. Dear GOD we know. Most of us don't want to hear about whether you think $spyed is a "jirk", or that you want to +fav Jark, regardless of what 'side' we're on.
- I submitted a new deviation! - I don't want to be too harsh, but look, most of us don't care. This event never deserved a news post in the past so why would it now? Perhaps I should start posting news about the sandwich I had at lunch, or about the tree I saw on the bus trip home.
- This artist is a ripper! - As much as it amuses us to see a slanging match take place online, a post like this is entirely inappropriate. Besides, I don't want my hot topics being bombarded with reports that an unknown user stole a lame wallpaper. Unless that lame wallpaper is of a scantily clad Hugh Grant.
- *scullysayer is the best member of dA! - Yeah, we know. But we don't need to a news post declaring it. Just a small honorary ceremony celebrating my achievements will suffice.
- I had a threeway in Guatemala! - Journal, journal, journal. And even then it might prove too hot for us to handle, as a certain coding error proved...
- There's a small Star Trek convention being held in LA! - In reality it's just a Star Trek fest you and your mates are throwing down in your basement. Unless it's related to art, or if it's an event a sizable portion of dA would be interested in, then we don't want to hear it. Particularly if any obsessive Chakotay fans are present.
- Melanie Griffiths is having Judge Judy's lovechild! - UGH, firstly why would any sane person want to know this?? And secondly, it's totally irrelevant to deviantART. Again, unless a sizable portion of dA is going to be interested in this, then there's absolutely no point you posting it. (Face it, no one cares about the celebrities you like.)
- I'm on the internet! - Well don't let the door hit you on the way out.
As you can see, there are a plethora of other points I've missed out, so feel free to post your own through comments. Other examples could include users asking for homework help, those making cynical articles about what shouldn't be considered news, etc.

Christ. It's like they'd taken away the forums or something.

ma'at: The good thing about this is it has the appearance of a bullet-proof vest, so any fanatics would be put off altogether. Or they'd simply go for a head shot.
Yes, THANK YOU though. DX This is getting rediculas with all the 'news' articles.
