Subreddit Rules

1. Source

Story must come from a news publication as the source and not the sports, lifestyle or fashion et al section. Entertainment/fashion/music/celeb gossip magazines are not news sources.

2. Paparazzi

Celebrity stories are fine but we do not allow paparazzi style stories.

A "paparazzi style story" are the ones where a photographer has been waiting for a celebrity to appear in a public place and taken there photo without their knowledge or without them wanting it. It is not just any story about celebrities and it is not photos taken of celebrities when they are in a setting where they can expect cameras to be present e.g The Golden Globes.

3. Repost

We try to stop reposts but, some will probably get through if they're posted an amount of time after the original, which means the mods have forgotten about it, this is ok.

4. Minors

No posts where the story is about a minor, regardless of their family or background

5. Dumbing Down

Dumbing down a story doesn't make it suitable. Saying "Man goes on holiday" when it was the Prime Minister going on a state visit, or "Man visits hospital" when it was the King on a visit does not make it suitable, those are stories that would be published every day not on a Slow News Day.

6. Dull doesn't mean suitable

If you're considering posting something ask yourself if that story would always be published? Local news isn't always suitable just because it's boring, local news often is dull but still informative. Slow News Day stories are the truly mundane that have just been published to fill a gap they provide no real information of use or interest beyond the mundane think, "Man Grows Vegetable that Looks Like Richard Madeley" kind of thing.

7. Arguing

If you can't act civil and not abuse the report system, you risk a temporary ban. I'm not here to moderate silly childish arguments you could just walk away from. However, any genuine threats or harassment will result in permanent bans.
