Title says it all really, if one wants a series of news updates on a given topic there are many other websites that do that better than CFC:OT can. The draw of a forum is getting original takes from the unique community of posters here. Forbidding actual discussion and making threads that are ostensibly just dumping-grounds for links to articles and maybe brief summaries of same undermines the very purpose of having a discussion forum.
