Just out of curiosity:
Why is the World News forum the only one that is hidden when you are not logged in?

In the Important announcements, usually graphic contest is held in the graphic section. Press team leaders + staff get to evaluate any article contest etc...

Copyright reasons as well. Rinze probably doesn't want to get DMCA notices after people copy/paste articles from news sites.

That can't be it.. many, if not most, forums have sections where current news are discussed and articles are copy pasted. I'd imagine it's considered fair use.

It's definitely after the war in the middle east spread to world news. Smile

I wouldn't know since I've never gotten a DMCA notice from a news site, but I do know that a lot of bloggers avoid quoting entire news articles for fear of DMCA notices. *shrugs* Only Rinze can tell in the end.

But if you see a section and something you can troll in you'll register. This way you cannot see a thing to troll about so you don't register...

Unless you go straight to PC section, than the trolling is unavoidable, and we are all fucking then grinhurt

probably another reason is that most people get temp bans in the world news section so hiding it gives them a chance to cool off Wink
