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 have never moderated a community, so I don’t know the ins and outs of certain rules, but a rule for the same title as the article itself I think is a solid idea.
A politics rule seems like it would be hard to me, as there are a lot of stories that could fall into a grey area?
Everything is related to politics in one way or another, a better rule would be no campaign news.
