Topic: POST FORMAT: YYYY-MM-DD SITE - HEADLINE - page 2. (Read 93803 times)
What's the deal with all these posts with the date in brackets, so that they no longer sort with posts that don't? Has everyone just collectively stopped giving a shit?
The date format is an ISO standard, I think. I use that date format in my office and instruct everyone to use it as well.

Why are articles getting deleted which clearly are not dups...
And other justificatiins being... I dont like the creative title? Which is the same as the article and that comments are off topic... what is this kindergarten class?

The title was creative. It was edited to refelect the real title.
About deletions, well, the Press board just lost about 400 threads because Ephebus decided to edit all his threads with an article about dog eating vietnamese in an incredibly assholish move, so they were removed/trashed. Most probably the article you say it's not a dupe now, was a dupe 12 hours ago.
Bummer. That explains it. Maybe someone should look into a way to lock the OP after some time period for this section?

People don't read the sticky. Instead, you should force people to read the guideline when they are about to post. Annoying yes, but I hate having to chase around a handful of people who don't care about the date format and don't fix it.

That's the number of punches I'll give you if you ever have the bad luck of crossing my path.

This guy seems to care only about proper formatting and not the content of the posts. If it was possible to kill people over the internet I would be very afraid to post anything here.

The suggested format shouldn't have a hyphen between DATE and SITE.
i.e., should be:
YYYY-MM-DD SITE - HEADLINE
example
2013-06-30 Forbes.com Awesome Bitcoin Article
And for those wondering why this is a big deal, ... if the posts are formatted this way, then a link can be used to see new articles sorted chronologically:
- http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=77.0;sort=first_post;desc
Posts need not be formatted that way for said link to work.
