But abusive language and behavior needs to be bled out of that forum. Unfounded articles from blatantly partisan sources need to be labeled as much, like they do on Reddit. It's the number one complaint everybody has of that page.

You (and BRC) are making this much more complicated than it needs to be. First off, don't complain about how much the cesspool stinks if you plan on continuing to shit in it on a regular basis. Secondly, threads based on articles can be clearly marked by their titles. Follow a simple format. Source: Article. Include a pertinent paragraph or two in the OP (italicized and bolded) followed by a link. Then add your starting comment. Here, I'll give you an example:

Thread title:

Today.com: Cake for breakfast? Study says go for it

OP:
Cake for breakfast? Study says go for it
By Rachel Rettner
MyHealthNewsDaily
Good news for the kid in you: Not only can you eat cake for breakfast, doing so may actually help you keep weight off, a new study suggests. In the study, obese participants who ate a breakfast high in protein and carbohydrates that included a dessert were better able to stick to their diet and keep the pounds off longer than participants who ate a low-carb, low-calorie breakfast that did not include sweets.

Hey look guys! Cake is good for you! Yippee!



Get it? We don't need a panel of assholes telling us what is and is not fake news. DC doesn't need to be a safe place designed to prevent snowflake meltage. There are already board-wide rules regarding threats/language/whatever that don't need to be modified just for DC.

I feel the same and by judging the temp in the discussions most of the other committee members feel the same way

My issue is that you can post a story\link and then next reply to you will be that is fake news, fake news, fake news, blah blah blah and then the discussion ends up being all about fake news. It is bullshit way to not have a discussion.

That is why I made the suggestion that the mods could filter out fake news with something funny and hopefully that would put an end to that nonsense.

As far as DC is concerned, it can stay or go I don't care but it needs the same moderation as the Lounge. I believe that is fair.

Well, sure, that is going to happen. But you have to let go of the idea that you get to control what other people add to a discussion. As far as DC versus Lounge moderation of 'fake news': If someone makes shit up about football and starts a thread about it here (trade/injury/etc.) it's usually fixed by the mods and that poster might get a ban for being a jackass. If someone posts a thread about football here based on an article that turns out to be bullshit, the mods will correct the title and the poster will, at most, be made fun of for falling for it. But it's not that cut-and-dry either in politics or religion. Some of it is a matter of opinion. And some of it is just stupid shit that only a few people will care about. That's why they have their own sub-forum.
