We are aware, but we're just humans, so we'll moderate as fair as we can. I'll be compiling a blacklist, with sources that are not accepted here, and people can let us know if they don't agree with any of the sources on that list.
I will indeed rephrase the first rule, good suggestion!
If you have a whitelist, you don't need a blacklist, so I don't fully understand what you mean with that. The problem with having a whitelist is that I think it's to much work to curate each news source, and could be seen as restricting if not enough are whitelisted. That's why we'll probably go for a blacklist.
Yea, the bot already has some problems with that. But we'll first ask questions, then delete, so no worries there.
Good suggestion, I'll discuss it with the other moderators.
That catch all rule is already included in the instance rules, so that's not really needed.
Point 1 was indeed kinda a joke, but if you feel like that hurts the rule, I will remove it.
I am working on making some kind of place where we show all banned news sources which then integrates with the bot, but this might take some development time.
As stated in the rule, we will only remove posts if the title is wrong / incorrect, with that we mean that it misrepresents the article. The autobot can't sense that you editted the post to make it better, so I just wanted to make clear that the autobot will still message you.
We will never do that, just trying to make users aware of our 4th rule, because we ourselves don't have time to comb trough all the posts to check for titles. I will be trying to refine the bot to be less spammy.
Seems like you wanted to actually argue something, so please expand on your comment by explaining why it's outside both science and morality, otherwise you're not really having a discussion.
Both have been changed in the new rules which I will share soon. Thank you for the feedback.
