I've read some good articles on TUSCL. But, there's always at least one expert reviewer who comments, "not an article - should be in discussion."
Can one of Founder's minions please educate me on the criteria to be considered a true article? I haven't written one yet, but I sure don't want to fuck it up when I do. LOL
Doesn’t matter what one or 2 people comment.
If the majority is good with it being an article and approve it as such, don’t worry about the minority comments.
Think of an article like writing a high school term paper. It should have a title, an introduction, the methodology, a discussion and a conclusion.
A discussion is only a good discussion if it involves one or more of the following:
What type of pants to wear for a LDK Tattoos? Love ‘em or hate ‘em Surviving in Tijuana on limited Spanish How to arrange your money Best time of the month to score OTC Hip Hop or Classic Rock? Getting called a racist Calling someone a racist Ditto for Fascist, Marxist, Socialist Godwin’s Law
Eh I've said some cringe shit looking back I probably regret on here. I just fire and forget though. I would just go for it, see whatever your thinking gets accepted. Nothing to lose. I would say as long as it pertains to the mongering world in some way.
IMHO An article should have two things a discussion doesn't:
Substance: there should be depth to the post that wouldn't necessarily be present in a discussion
Clarity: an article should be well written and meticulously edited.
@motorhead: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A discussion is you looking for other’s thoughts or opinions.
An article is you telling a story, or giving out advice
"I haven't written one yet, but I sure don't want to fuck it up when I do. LOL"
As with most things there isn't one right way to do an article. The way I look at it, an article is something that is meant to be of general interest as a standalone post and not "let me tell you about that time I banged Trixie with pink hair" or some other bit of trivia that is more at home on the Front Room message board.
