YerMaw Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Now I don't really have an issue with orgs/managers using tycoon times to artificially boost org/fighter hype, however it seems increasingly apparent to me that right now the times is suffering from a severe lack of quality control... To use two recent examples (from the latest edition): http://www.mmatycoon.com/tycoontimes/tycoontimesstory.php?SID=4774 http://www.mmatycoon.com/tycoontimes/tycoontimesstory.php?SID=4773 What. The. Actual. Fuck? Have we seriously reached a point where a copy and pasted fight commentary is considered to be an 'article'? Likewise the second 'fighter profile' makes Mamado's writing look like fucking Shakespeare. I had a look at the Tycoon Times archive (http://www.mmatycoon.com/tycoontimes/tycoontimesarchive.php) and it seems pretty clear that there is a strong correlation between the decline in quality and the decline in number of page views. Articles (of a much higher quality I might add) written in early 2015 were pulling in 1000 page views with sometimes over a dozen articles left unpublished: since then something changed. I don't know whether it's a case of people simply aren't writing as much nowadays, or just that people don't bother to submit the articles any more. If it's the latter (and the fact that there are still a fair amount of orgs doing previews would seem to support that assumption) then is it possible that the current garbage getting published discourages people from submitting articles of actual quality? I don't know what the solution is but something has got to change: right now it's a free hype machine for any barely literate c*nt that comes along - like I say I don't have an issue with orgs/managers using it for the hype boost, but for fucks sake if we're seriously publishing a fight commentary as an 'article' might as well just scrap the whole thing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paper is getting published every other day, the net effect being there is no quality control because you're just looking to get it out there asap. Here's an idea: maybe cut it down to twice a week and start filtering out some of the crap that currently get published. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycooner Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I will admit sometimes i put in filler to get the paper out but that is only so that the people who took the time to write a preview or review etc gets out there before the events take place i could set back and wait tell i get 7 great stories for the paper that could take awhile but in that time if there 3 previews and i am wating those previews will not get put in the paper because the events have passed do you see what i am saying 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for example I didn't bother to submit this seasons EPL previews because I figured most people don't actually bother to read the times nowadays: maybe that's part of the problem, but dare I suggest that part of the reason for people not submitting/reading is due the decline in quality. I can do my bit to remedy that but I really don't see the point unless you start introducing some degree of quality control (and if that means publishing the newspaper on a less regular basis so be it). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can help to remedy that but I don't really see the point unless there is some sort effort to actually get some sort of semi-decent quality control installed to encourage people to start reading it again.

Tycooner Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 and also you where talking about views every time you go to the tycoon times page it counts as a view and yes the paper use to get more views that's true i guess in away when the same paper sets there for 3 or 4 weeks every time someone goes to the page it counted as a view for that paper so yes a paper that sets there for two weeks will get more views than a paper that sets there for 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
