Every so often I see articles posted on this website (front page etc) and I at the bottom is a short thanks to the person who provided the information for the article. This is very nice. But . . . .
It got me thinking, how come every article story given to MacRumors and/or first posted on the forums also have a thanks to the person who handed the info to MacRumors. A lot of times people hand info to MacRumors and no thanks at all. And other times I see a thanks at the end of the article.
So my question is, can a moderator here share with us what is required to have a thanks at the end of a written article on this website. Because I know MacRumors does not thank everyone who hands them info first or acknowledge people who put the info on the forums first. So it must be something else. An other reason. If you can share this reason with us, I'd be so happy.
