It's utterly pointless if people aren't allowed to post their own news and have to wait for someone else to do it.
Some lawyer somewhere called it something, so everybody went "durrrrr" and accepted it as official policy. I also think it's the most retarded thing ever, but I don't approve news so I can't do much. Apparently somebody "could" write with a bias, which is amusing as there's no such thing as absolute impartiality especially in a community this size, but rationality has rarely been a part of law, so whatever, just cut+paste your update to your closest buddy and have them post it. Reminds me of the time I had jury duty and somebody on the witness stand was trying to recite a letter they got, but they were supposed to do it from memory and not the actual letter, so the lawyer would show the letter to the person then take it away, and the person would try to recite it but get lost after 1 or 2 lines, so the lawyer would show the person the letter again then take it away again and they'd get another 1 or 2 lines before forgetting again, so they'd get shown the letter again until they recited it sentence per sentence, being able to see the letter after each sentence but never being able to read the actual slip of paper. It's just sub-human. Yet people actually take advice from these guys.
And then Fraggle posted the chocolate doom news update anyway :O
