You know one thing Drama Alert doesn't do? Target minors. Writing things that hurt or piss people off and playing it off as a big joke is something bullies do so they can get away with it. I know this server's got some pretty resilient kids on it -- you kind of have to be thick-skinned with some of the toxicity that is prevalent in both MCP and Minecraft in general. But I feel as if the people you're writing about should have a say in whether an article about them is posted, and also agree to the contents. As stated, there's a lot of underage people who play on this server, and use gaming as an escape from the rampant bullshit, bullying, or abuse in their day to day lives.
When MCP Alert stops being a front for insulting people, I think it'll have some credibility. But those kind of articles just make the entire publication worse. If New York Times published an article calling the editor of The Guardian a shithead, nobody would take the paper seriously, and that's kind of where I'm at with MCP Alert. It's hard to take the news portions seriously when it's being plagued with this cancer.
I don't know why it's so hard for you to just respect people and let them play on a minecraft server without insulting them or calling their character into question. And for what, a publication the majority of the community dislikes because of said articles? Nobody asked for this, nobody wants to be the next 'featured' person to get crapped on. I don't understand why an adult needs to be told this.
