Got a Pretty Good Idea for the Site, I Think

We all have different feelings towards Brad Nicholson's recent contributions to Giant Bomb. He posts some rumors, he posts some obscure and unimportant things, and he posts information at a pretty heavy pace. I really just treat his information like I think we all should, I think. I look at it, decide if it interests me, and then click it if it does.
 
Obviously some people don't think "these kinds" of things should be on Giant Bomb, and that it kind of disrupts the image they have grown to love. Looking at the front page recently, I've noticed that some of his posts appear really frequently, essentially shoving the Original Staff's stuff off the front page. That's what bothers me. I think what he's doing is a good thing, but I want it somewhere else. There should be a little "Nicholson's News" section tacked onto the bottom of the main feature-list. And if that's too far down for the really important posts, then of course the important ones can be put up into the original features list. I think this would work really well. Everyone will probably quickly learn to scroll down to check for more updates from him, and it will keep the Original Staff's featured posts more prevalent, as they should be. I'd love to see this implemented somehow. What do you guys think?

No, while I appreciate that you gave a level-headed response and only meant well, I think this entire affair between people who like and don't like New Brad is ridiculous and should be banned from the forums.  He is here, deal with it; like you said, if the article sounds like it may interest you, click it, if it doesn't, don't.  Articles from the "Big Four" being bumped off the front page is a non-issue because it takes a grand total of two clicks to go to the next page.

" @The_Laughing_Man: Oh, come on  man. That thread is way too vague, and the first suggestion I saw, which quickly had an "agreement response," was for the dumbest and worst suggestion possible, which is for an IRC chat. "

Guys, leave Nicholson alone. My goodness. He's just reporting what every other site is reporting as well. It isn't even that distracting. Just don't read it if you don't like it.

" @FunExplosions: I understand what you're saying but to me this "issue" isn't even about that.  I just find it entirely disrespectful to Nicholson as both a writer and an employee that people consider him "less of a human" than Jeff and Co.  "

I support this.  I don't read any news articles anymore, because there is so many.  I get my news from Shacknews.  I only watch videos here now. 

I don't understand why so many people dislike the man.

Nobody would read it if it was in a different place.

There's no need to make a section specifically for one member. If you happen to come across one of his articles, all you have to do is skip it.

" Nobody would read it if it was in a different place. "

Maybe the other staff members have small sections on the homepage dedicated to showing what they are reporting.

I understand what you're saying, but a lot of what he posts can still be considered "news" and therefore should remain on the front page.  I think the last thing this site needs is a lot of segmentation.  That would just ruin the simplicity of the front page.

He's here to stay guys. The "big four" will dedicate the rest of their time in doing more important stuff, like quick looks and the bombcasts.
