		<description>I hate Newsvine also.  They axed me because they did not approve of my political and religious beliefs.  When I was attacked regarding these beliefs I was not supposed to respond negatively.  When I did they were offended.  First they suspended me, then eventually banned me and my IP address.  They are definitely a rude group of moderators.    </description>

		<description>I was deleted from the Newvine along with my girlfriend that they accused us of having multiple acounts.  We both live together and use the same wireles router and so therefore Newsvine is so stupid to realize that some people live together and have their own accounts using the same router.  Can you imagine how unpoopular Facebook would be if only one person in a family could log on because the other family members couldn&#039;t use the same router in  their home to create an account.  My neice has four family memebers on Facebook using one wireless router.
I hope to hell someone creates a virus for the Newsvine mudderfudders.  That site needs to go!</description>

		<description>Thanks for posting this.  I just got a Newsvine account like a week ago and just started checking out the whole social media thing, seeing what works, what doesn&#039;t....

At first I posted one or two articles from my blog, then quit that and started only posting links with brief reviews basically of other peoples discoveries that helped me out and I thought made good news.

Without warning, after say 10 articles, boom, done.  I&#039;m out.  I asked them why, haven&#039;t heard a thing back.

		<description>We started a policy several years ago to distribute news articles almost exclusively outside of the mainstream media and through citizen journalism sites and to see how it went and decide on the future some years later. Well, it&#039;s been interesting. There are many fine start-ups out there for alternative media, but sooner or later many are taken over by that mob of undermployed and unemployed that have destroyed projects like Wikipedia and the various Indymedia sites (IMC). We&#039;ve not reached a verdict yet on whether we should return to the mainstream media for news diffusion, but Newsvine was a surprise as it seems to have fallen prey to the mob as well now. 

From what we&#039;ve experienced with the other mentioned sites, they usually die after two or three years at the latest when the toxicity gets so bad that even the few people who are left are infightning. Then they either go offline, become an &quot;archive&quot; or have to re-organize into something altogether different. Whatever the case, it has become evident now that Newsvine has one foot in the grave and we aven see this through the strong decline in its web penetration of &quot;seeded&quot; articles as of late.

Unfortunately our verdict is that Newsvine is crap and we simply have no further use for it as a medium. Maybe they&#039;ll get rid of the toxic personalities that are harming the project, but from what I read above that appears unlikely.</description>

		<description>Yeah, Newsvine is a clique. If your articles or comments are factual but don&#039;t conform to the Newsvine commununity consensus...slam, you&#039;re outta&#039; there!

Bunch of prissy dreamers. They like to dish it out but they can&#039;t take it. Run crying to mama tyler, cling to his skirts, hide behind selective enforcement of their silly &quot;COH&quot;.

Gutless wonders. True story: A bunch of the uber-liberal dweebs vowed to leave the site unless Eric Albert was re-instated. Result? Albert is still out and every last one of the soppy milquetoasts came slithering back into the clique within days. Back to publishing their fanatic bullshit and complimenting one another as if nothing happened. Spineless shitheads.</description>

		<description>I was axed from Newsvine as well. I am not crying or losing any sleep over it but I am baffled. I was only there a few short weeks, and only posted ten links to news stories. None of them my own, and none controversial! I was strictly doing it for fun. I am a little miffed that I am being accused of doing something (although I don&#039;t know what) worthy of being banned!</description>

		<description>Funny thread.  I found this due to being disappointed in Newsvine also.  I like MSNBC but got kicked out of newsvine for putting together articles of top lists along with my own.</description>

		<description>I think I figured out why we&#039;re all getting booted.  Do your comments spur a lot of discussion?  Isn&#039;t that the basis for PAYMENT.  They don&#039;t want to pay the contributors.</description>

		<description>After less than 24 hours on newsvine and two (2) brilliant articles I contributed, I was given the boot.  They claimed they would have considered reinstating my account had I not started calling people Nazi&#039;s, which is a complete untruth.  I wrote a satirical article ABOUT Newsvine and their &quot;Code Of Honor&quot; after I had been reprimanded for seeding a link and beefing up the headline for them.  I simply compared their Code Of Honor personnel&#039;s actions to that of a Nazi, in a piss your pants humorous way. They did not laugh.  I had no idea that I would EVER be banned from a website and because of that I did not in any way save my articles elsewhere, and now they are gone forever.  They were fucking blasting straight up the vine and getting Large Votes within only a day! I&#039;m filling full of anger and hatred just thinking about it.  Please respond or email me with a site that I can post my articles without a goddam War Hammer coming down on me because the site managers can&#039;t take a joke.</description>
