Edit: This rule seems to be much more nuanced and requires more thought than we had put in, please continue to discuss below.
It is NOT in effect at this time but highly recommend for regional subreddits at least.
The above rule has been added to the instance and will be enforced instance wide. This rule is very common within most existing communities where news articles are shared and avoids sensationalizing the story or attempts at steering discussion by the user posting the article.
Yup. Some rules don’t have many corner cases. E.g. no bigotry. The more corner cases there are the fuzzier it gets and the more it drifts towards a recommendation than a hard rule. Some of those corner cases could be filtered by context. Many corner cases might not be relevant in a news community for example. In such a context a rule instead of recommendation might be appropriate.
What’s your thoughts on instance wide recommendation: “Avoid editorializing Article Titles” instead of having it as a rule?
That probably makes sense as a general recommendation.
