NPR rules, please give suggestions Options

[jonathan83]

Since this forum is mainly serious discussion, we need to make some basic rules/guidelines here. Once we have a good amount of suggestions I'll make an "Official Rules" thread and sticky it.

For one, I think we need to make it mandatory that people post sources/links for whatever article they are referring to, etc.

Also, should things like TTUlow rap threads be moved to offtopic or be merged into one thread in NPR?

What other suggestions do you have?

I would say:

1) Require links to all news articles.
2) Posting the full text of the article is optional, but if posted it must be placed in a quote block to distinquish it from your commentary.
3) Flaming, trolling, etc. will not be tolerated.
4) Absolutely no NSFW threads or posts in NPR. (I don't see any situations that would warrant them...)

I see a problem with item #4

Suppose some hate organization is in the news and someone makes a thread about this hate organization. At a lot of work places, certain pictures or even words could be considered not safe for work. The same could be said of anti-government posts.

By NSFW I meant sexual pictures. But yeah, you're right.
