I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

  6. Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

I've noticed a lot of troll-like behavior from many accounts saying the same thing, usually complaining about a source shared in an article. In an effort to increase the quality of the comments sections of posts made in this community, I am adding a new rule to this community.

Poisoning The Well attempts attacking a source used in an article or report shared here will subject you to a temporary ban from this community. To be clear, anyone is welcome to point out parts of a particular article that are false or seem to be without proper sourcing, but for now, statements like "X website is pure propaganda" or "X website isn't news" will not be allowed.

This isn't a rule I wanted to make, and I would like to lift it at some point, but it appears to be needed for now.
