I can’t seem to find anything in a sidebar or sticky thread that talks about the moderation / rules of the news community. I’m very interested in coming to this community to learn about news, but right now it seems whats being posted tends to be relatively low (lower?) quality.
Examples of common rules
- Use the same titles as the article itself
- No blog spam, link to the source
- Political news, should go to the political community
- No dupes of same topic
As an example, take a look at other news aggregators that focus on news.
My goal here isn’t tell people what to do but its start a conversation on the topic.
I think this is good in theory, but we would need to have a clear line and ways to determine when the line has been crossed. This also relates to discussions on news vs opinion and editorial. I could imagine a rule limiting the number of statements of opinion in an article before the rule is invoked. That’s just one idea, but whatever is decided should be so clear and measurable to help prevent fighting about if something broke the rule or not.
