[Please see this example about RNLI – Newcastle]

First thing – the type of post.

IT IS NOT A LINK POST

A link must be included in the body (text), but it is not a link post. Automod triggers for that regularly.

Next, the Post title

This must match the Headline from the news source.

Note: there are occasions where the post title changes from time of posting to time of update. For example the RNLI post was originally uploaded by the BBC with the headline:

Newcastle RNLI celebrates 200 years of saving lives at sea

but since changed it to:

'You have to be calm in a rescue operation' – RNLI volunteer

Next, the Body text.

Here you should include the link to the article (preferably at the top) followed by the full text of the article.

Try remove any additional text (e.g. adverts, image descriptions, links to other articles, comments section etc.)

Finally if you want to add an opinion:

Do so in the comments on the post, not within the main body or title.

Hope that's clear as mud now.

If I haven't explained it well, please feel free to ask for clarification.

And don't forget about the example post if it can be of assistance.

  5. Is it really this serious? It’s just Reddit bro.

  6. Loada shite.
    Typical new mod crap, is the tiny bit of power going to your undersized head?

  8. >Note: there are occasions where the post title changes from time of posting to time of update. For example the RNLI post was originally uploaded by the BBC with the headline:

    So, what happens in this situation? Is it deleted because of something the user is not at fault?

  9. I like the rule. I don’t want to click on a link for an article only to find out it’s behind a paywall. I also don’t want to click a link and it takes me 30 seconds to get past cookies and privacy etc.

  10. 1) i might have had a wee meltdown with the bot fighting me – *cough*

    2) did you update the blurb the bot tells ye?

  11. Natin lick a bit of mod interference to divide the sub…

    “We are the Mods, we are, we are, we are the Mods”
