To not ignore people who do not have a Twitter account and who can therefore, have a look in this thread. If you think doing so is spammy, don't open the thread. Informations are either relayed through our Twitter or on our website. So unless you miss one, you can find it out here. I don't see the problem.
Edit: and look at the thread title, in case it wasn't clear enough. Thanks.

Agreed, I refuse to use twitter so its nice to be notified
How is that different? You don't need to click on anything, tweets just show. No need to sign up on Twitter, no need to even have an account, all you need is to go on this actual thread and read. Not that complicated. I only need to tweet, copy-paste the URL in this thread and voilà. @Calego summed it up well.
No he means why post tweets in a thread, when you can just go to twitter instead and look at the tweets there. Its pretty spammy.
Well that too, but I didn't wan't to spoil their fun too hard.
And stop being condescending please. I have nothing against people complaining if they have reasonable arguments but don't act like if people were stupid, including myself.

Haha I love it when pela gets all Frenchy, brings the mayonnaise out of him
@_INTER_ Maybe you should make a "Dear NS2News, what are you doing" so you can freely express all your mecontentement on this very concerning subject of "post with tweet links annoys me a lot". #Drama

Wait who's being condescending again?
Sorry I took time out of my day to point out a pointless thread, I'll leave now.
Heavens forbid we have too many threads with recent, informational posts on the forums - what if new people visiting get the impression this game is still alive? The horror! *gasp!*
People can follow Twitter or add it to their feed if you're interested in those NS2 news. Or they could visit your site. Why would you need to post a link to a link here a again?
Keeping it at the top of the threadlist? Thats just spam.

Not everyone uses Twitter, and not every news - though relevant - needs an own full fledged article; at times all you need is a link that points you to the source of relevant information (which is exactly what this thread does, btw.). The twitter feed already is an aggregation of interesting bits found by the NS2News team; at times also articles on their site, but not limited to.
I can't follow the redundancy complaint that people should just subscribe to the twitter feed. They're being efficient and just cross-reference the tweet here, in a place where it's absolutely relevant. If they'd instead copy & paste just the tweet contents ... I wonder if you'd be like "Oh, cool! Informative stuff!" instead.
tl;dr: I find it informative, relevant, and helpful. Please keep it.
And as for the spam, there'll still be one message a day MAX. Depends on the interesting stuff of the day, still allows me to get a larger message in case.
Honestly, instead of arguing about how we translate content from our tweets, people should debate about the content itself. Far more interesting.

Easier to embed the tweet. Style wise it also differentiates it from normal posts. Me likey.

Again, if you don't like it, skip this thread.

Forum wise nobody minds one "thread bump" per day.
However @_INTER_ is imho right saying the tweets should be "embed" so people don't have to leave the forum to read the content of the posts.
Just found out the forum software embeds them, just we folks who disable any external javascript source don't see it
