I know all deaths, especially of someone so young, are tragic, but the fact that he's only just embarked on what looked like a great career seems especially tragic.

The murder will reignite a debate about youth crime, knives, and whether the criminal justice system is working. Figures obtained by The Telegraph show that out of more than 60,000 people prosecuted for possessing knives since 1997, only nine have been given the maximum jail term.
Is the criminal justice system really working anywhere???

I feel like this shouldn't be in Plime.... First off, this is nearly 10 days old. As it's been said before, regular news isn't really desired, so by that, old regular news, I think, shouldn't be on here.
It's sad, and newsworthy, but is it Plime worthy? It was on most of the newsites and papers when it happened.
Also, I thought I may as well say it here whilst I being argumentative, but the Kelsey Grammer story. Again, should it been on Plime? I've seen the same story on plenty other sites, as well as hearing it on the radio. Is it "Intersting" enough for Plime?

I don't speak for everyone, so I'll just speak for myself. I want to know stories like this. I want to be informed, and honestly, when I catch the news, these stories don't always get brought up. Plime is not a news site, I realize this, but I do not see anything wrong with these links getting sent in.

If I don't think a site is "Intersting" enough for Plime, I don't read it.

Back to the story...this is very, very sad...but I really do not know recall the character that he was to play is. Such a brutal and senseless crime.

I barely get HERE most days, so I would have totally missed knowing this.

Sorry but, I've only just seen this and found it interesting and saddening. My benchmark for what I post is whether I find it interesting, thought-provoking ect, not whether everyone else will like it and upvote it.

Plime is like a one-stop-shop for a lot of people and news like this is news to them, as with the Kelsy Grammer story.

I could understand this comment if there'd been a hundred other "Harry Potter star stabbed" articles posted but there hasn't been so...

However Plime changes I will always submit what I find personally interesting and want to share, not what I think is "plimeworthy".

That's my opinion.

This was the first that I have heard this story or seen it on the web.

Most days, Plime is the only site with News stories that I visit.

I'd just like to add that I thought you'd understand that some things submitted on plime may be news to you but not to others given the comments in This post of yours. You got quite snarky when someone pointed out that it was a very old story and also a dupe twice over on plime.

I'd seen it about 15 times on Stumble and twice on plime but obviously others hadn't hence the upvotes.

That is all

Marz,I understand what you are saying, and I agree.
But some of the problem is that we are from all over the world, so what might be old news to some members is brand new info to others.

For instance, seeing how this took place in the UK to an unknown British actor (the movie isn't out yet) it's very likely that we in America might never have seen this.

That has to be considered too, I think.

Just my 2 cents.

Nothing about upvotes, I'm not saying you post items just for upvotes. But, I think you do have to think about the community when posting. This is usually reflected in Upvotes. 98 isn't really a hige amount, which makes me think that this sort of post isn't nessasarily what Plime wants. If I posted everything I found interesting, I'd be posting all day. But I know that not everything I'm interested is "Plimeworthy"

Plime is like a one-stop-shop for a lot of people and news like this is news to them, as with the Kelsy Grammer story.
It can be, but I think that mostly, people who look at Plime see a lot of sites. And don't come to Plime for Regular news.

I could understand this comment if there'd been a hundred other "Harry Potter star stabbed" articles posted but there hasn't been so...
TBH, dupes don't bother me as much, especially if there's more than a few months between, it's general news or news that's presented as breaking when it's not that annoys me more.

However Plime changes I will always submit what I find personally interesting and want to share, not what I think is "plimeworthy".
Again, I think we have to think of other Plimates. I think otherwise, it's not very "community" based.

That's my opinion.

Just mine too Doggy

Totally different types of post. Mine wasn't a "News" story, but a story on a continuing situation with Orangs in Borneo. I even included a video about the situation, as well as the link to a specific story.
I had already explained why I had not noticed it was a dupe, and was a bit annoyed that another person had pointed it out in a rather nasty way. I would have been much more civil, if that person had been. So I was "Snarky" but so what? I resent you dragging this article up, as I don't feel it has anything to do with what I was talking about. And, as you mention upvotes, it did get a lot more upvotes, showing that the community was interested.
You may have seen it already on Stumble, but a lot of what you post I have stumbled, and seen a lot. Doesn't mean I think the posts aren't worthy.

« Marz :Lots of stuff about being resentful and upvotes, downvotes ,sideeways vote, orangutans and so on and so forth
Look, if this was a post about poop or "pull my finger" or whatever kind of crap I could understand, not necessarily agree, but understand, you commenting about it not being "plimeworthy". But I just think that to jump into the comments of a post about a teenage boy being stabbed is unnecessary.

Fine, you personally don't think relevant, interesting news stories should be here but when it's something like this don't piss on this lads memory by turning the comments into a moan about "plimeworthy" posts, go post your opinions in the forums or just ignore it.

That really is all.

Ok Doggy, I really am not trying to anger you, but you're not being very civil at all here.
I do think relevant, interesting news stories should be here. I'm not sure this news story hit all those marks.
To say that I posted my opinions in the wrong place is just being silly. I'm am not "Pissing all over this lads memory" as you put it. That's such a dramatic statement, it's a little ridiculous. Where do I say that his life or the nature of his death was uninteresting or anything? What I am saying is that it is not necessarily Plime worthy.
If you think I was wrong to comment here, why did you reply to me twice, and drag up an old post by me? Why not take your own advice, and ignore me, or take it into the forums?
I said waht I said, not to insult you, as you seem to have taken it, but to encourage a little bit of "Thinking" about what people post.
I also would like to say that the reduction of my comments to "Stuff about being resentful" is nasty, what am I supposed to be resentful of? Also, you dragged upvotes in to the conversation, not me.
No need to reply to me Doggy, wouldn't like to encourage you to "Piss on this lads memory".
