Discussion Website / Cracked

I don't want to address this much on the page itself, but i should bring up that John Cheese (Mack Leighty), Jacopo Della Quercia (another penname, dunno realname), and J.F. Sargent (Joshua F. Sargent, dunno what the 'F.' stands for) have all admitted committing sexual harassment/ other abuses. Likewise, Dan Dietle (AKA "Vodstok") isn't mentioned anywhere on the page, he wrote a bunch of now-deleted articles. He was convicted on charges of child sexual abuse and is in jail for that reason as we speak.

So if you see me or anybody else cut out sympathetic words for them, you have the idea why.

(Edit: Actually, never mind. This isn't really about editing the page, and if it were to start a conversation, that would probably be a flamy one.)

"Americans Hate Tingle: A well-known example regarding Americans, their disgust at The Beautiful Game, appears in articles such as this. Given that despite Cracked being American and with an excessively US-centric POV, most readers are foreigners, the comments usually go down into a Flame War."

"with an excessively US-centric POV": In the article writing guidelines, they specifically say not to do write 'us in the US' or something like that anymore.

"Dan Browned: Often times their articles, even if they're cited, end up being either gross misrepresentations of the facts or even flat-out lies. A particularly egregious example is in their article "If Oscar Speeches Told the Truth" where they claim the screenplay to Good Will Hunting wasn't really written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and the citation they link to directly contradicts their entire point."

And thank you moron who pulled that stunt. There is now a stated policy that editors check every. single. source. before they accept an article. Which means that it takes articles longer to be accepted. Which means it's longer before the purveyors get paid for them. If you cherry pick or deliberately misquote a source, you will feel it. And that's before they tell Jack what you did.
