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.

    “Politics” as a categorization is - like art - subjective and open to interpretation. It’s a rule that can result only in abuse.

      Is it subjective, though? Politics is what people do up until someone or a group commits an act of governance, at which point it’s news. Reactions are right back to politics.
