Guys, you really shouldn't be reporting crap like this where it's for Americans only. If SOE doesn't respect the international community enough to make the effort to make these contests international, they don't deserve free promotion. |

While I understand your frustration, we can't just not report on some news because it is only targeted to some part of the world. How would American players that visit our site feel if we didn't report that? What about the day when something similar happens but just for europeans? You would want us to not report that as well? I don't think so 
We report ALL news, no matter who that news is for.

But, Ekim this isn't news so much as it is advertising. It doesn't relate to the game so much as it does to Americans who can win stuff from SOE. If it's your policy, so be it, but I feel it's wrong. |

You forget that this is the internet and the world over has access to the same sites. If you visit CNN for news and they report on the New York lottery having a record 500 million $ as a jackpot next week, would you consider it bad policy for them to report on it because you live in Belgium and can't participate? We do not promote whatever SoE is doing, we are spreading the word so that you know about it.
And again if this would apply to Europe alone I don't believe you'd be complaining about it even though we covered it. Why be shocked if it's US only? Yes, this is our policy, and I stand by it. We report ALL news.

What is this site supposed to be to you? Euro-dot? (not directed at Ekim). |
