Contributors to BIN Please Read This Posting Guideline
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE COPYRIGHT LAWS BELOW NEW CONTRIBUTORS!
Quick point here please DO NOT spell out profanity!!! Please do not double post the same story!
First contributor in with the story get's top billing while your duplicate story may eventually pop up it will be held back to keep the front page orderly!
I believe some of our new contributing members may have missed this since I see duplicate stories pouring in so please read…
Thank you for taking the time to post the News! If you have not read the posting guideline's I am including them below but the real purpose of this piece is to give you some additional help in posting your stories.
Please look through the news and see if a story has already been submitted, if it has unless the story you are thinking of posting is substantially different or includes additional information it should not be posted. Who wants to read the same thing over and and over again? It is already News and there are so many interesting stories that end up buried that way.
It is also redundant and drives away readers.
Please include links to the stories you submit so the public can go to the source for verification after all anyone could write up anything and call it News. This is not to say that you may not write your own articles you certainly can but they should include facts with links to back up your opinion and should then be placed in the Opinion section not in the Mainstream sections. If you just want to give your opinion we would suggest Face Book, Soda Head or some other social networking site.
Please make sure the title given the article is appropriate for the information that is actually inside. While making up sensational titles to draw interest may seem like a good idea it backfires and irritates the readers when they discover they wasted their time clicking to read it. Again please read the Posting Rules the Articles must be News worthy.
At times you may see Articles posted in full the reason for that is we have been given permission to do so although once in a while someone has just not read the Copyright Notice included in the posting guidelines and we have to correct the mistake.
Again do not post in full if you do not have permission to do so.
We have Editor Features you can use to make your story easier to read. If you cut and paste from an article then high light it and click on the blue box located on the editor bottom row second in from the right it will make your text uniform thus creating a more easily read and visually more appealing story.
In the past we allowed everyone to submit stories immediately but some bad apples kept spamming the site with questionable promotions and entering them in the wrong categories. Because of this we have had to implement a delay if you post 3 stories that are accurate you will be given established status and your news will immediately be placed on site. We are currently weeding through those who still are trying to beat the system and will be blocking them. If you want to post Promotional material there are steps to take to do so and they MUST be placed in the Promotional Category ONLY! Simply put anything that leads to a charge for a service or something for sale is Promotional.
To Recap
1. Please do not post duplicate stories.
2. Please read the posting guidelines and make sure the stories submitted are News worthy.
3. Please include links (you can do so by linking them into a phrase, example Continue Reading) or by including the
URL, Example beforeitsnews.com/
4. Editing the text makes it easier to read and more visually appealing.
5. Make sure your title reflects the content if it doesn't we may be deleting them.
6. Promotional material must be placed in the proper category period.
7. Please read the Guide Lines below.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Copyright Notice:
Do not post copyrighted material. This includes images, video, music, or text. Unless you are quoting under "fair use". (Notice that the quote should involve only a small portion of the work, and it should not replicate the “heart” of the material.)

Posting Rules:
1. Do not upload any news stories without permission unless they consist of content you created yourself. Many smaller sites are happy to grant their permission to post all or a portion of original stories appearing on their site — please, ask first. We will take down infringing materials per DMCA.
2. We only accept news stories. If you want to sell something, we suggest Craig's List or eBay. If you have news about a company or product and it's really news, post it in the Promotional section only. Informational stories that are not promotional should be posted under Resources — these should not promote a particular product or web site. You may post press releases, provided they meet our news guidelines.
3. You may post links but they will not show up on the front page or be indexed by any search engines. Links may be included in your Personal News Network, a coming feature of Before It's News.
4. You are welcome to cross post from your site and include a prominent link back, provided you include at least 500 words and the story is current. If your site is interesting to our viewers, we can take your full RSS feed automatically. We do not take headline or partial RSS feeds because they waste our viewer's time and are not covered by the search engines.
5. We do not allow profanity, pornography or stories that are libelous or defamatory. This site is viewed in homes with children and in offices and we do not allow materials that go beyond PG-13.
Your story will usually be crawled and indexed within 30 minutes and you will receive email notifications. You don't need to respond or take any action, these are only notifications. These emails can be turned off in your Settings page. You can track the search engine progress by clicking on the small search logo in the upper right hand corner of your story. The number of times your story has been viewed is listed at the top of your story.
Good luck with your story!
