The act of posting news stories on the Chat forums, particularly either weird/unusual (“Lesbian mud-slinger sanctified by Pope in Zimbabwe”) or globally important (“US declares war on China!!”) ones.

News posting is considered a competitive sport by many, and indeed was portrayed as such in Luaky Commer.

Premier News Posters include Doctor What, GBW and MrP.

The cardinal sin of News Posting is to post a story after it has already been posted - often about two days later. When this happens, it is traditional for the original poster of the story to post a link to their earlier post of it, accompanied by 'ahem!'.
