OK, let me just say this, and I'll shut up for a while. Maybe.
As the "Owner/EDITOR/Publisher " of Casino City, RGT, or whatever, you do or should have a confidentialty obligation. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT!!!!!!
Then again, ALSO as the "Owner/Leader" of the GPWA, A Webmaster Forum, you also have a moral and ethical obligation to disseminate any and all valuable information to the community of affiliates that make up the GPWA.
Yes, I understand this is tightrope sometime, and don't even try to tell me money isn't a HUGE factor! Just being honest with it all.
IMO, you need to do a better job of distinquishing the two things. If you can't PUBLISH it due to CONFINENTIALTY agreements, then
it has no value anyway.
Do it like the national media does. Publish the info without referencing the source!!! No big deal that way.
A story that cannot be published in it's totality is borderline manipulative.
Voluntary disclosure by a third party to you should generally mean they don't want to be identified as the source.
That's fine. Your job as a news source is to make sure the "SOURCE" is credible, to protect the source's identity, and to let the GPWA Members know the truth on
all issues.
That is what we all expect you to do as GPWA Members,.....and I'm sure what the readers of Casino City and RGT expect.
If you can't balance those things, then the current GPWA effort under your control is in vain. JMO.
Sorry to sound so critical, but this all just common sense to me.
You are running two different kinds of organizations. The expectations from you are not the same but the solution is actually common.
Think about it for a bit, and you might actually agree and make some adjustments that would benefit all of us.
