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:


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.

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.
