Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Is it something where you sit down and do your daily work in a couple of hours, or are you always 'on call' so to speak. I definitely need some time to think about this, but it sounds interesting. I thought about applying to the podcast as well, but this being in the background sounds a bit better for me.

How you work around posting news depends on what your personal availability is. The current staff has office workers, food makers, students, family supporters and more, and all in slightly different timezones too.
As this is a volunteering position, we would not ask you to always be 'on call', as you say. But if you do have ten-fifteen minutes to spare in between cooking or meetings, homework or a commute, then yes, feel free to use them to post something!
(Personally, I find myself more or less always ready to go, except for my full teaching/meeting days. But I am an example, not a sample, and not a representative one at that.)

My own personal delectation. Much like PCC and Alpha Bravo.

Ooooh, so am I titillating? Or do I have to change my avatar to something mooooooore; Alpha Bravo?

News credits are a way to show the community how actively engaged in the news reporting non-staff members are. It holds the importance you give it as a user, so it can be very little or really quite significant!
Once you become news staff, the credits become optional (I had personally planned to keep mine for ever at 42, but other news staff have credited me a number of times). We have our own score board of news posts to keep track of everyone's activity, so credits do not matter as much.

Yes, very true. Thanks Burn!
This will not be a massive burden, nor a requirement during the initial period of your time as staff. Once you're settled in, however, you will be required to do some tidying up and shoulder-tapping.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I want this to be my second chance at earning the entitlement as news staff, to be a part of something, but your post is giving me second thoughts.
