Subreddit rules:

1. Paywall articles must have text in comments

If an article is behind a paywall, for subscribers only or part of a limited access in any way then you need to paste the text and author attribution in the comments.

Tools such as archive.is and 12ft.io can be sometimes be useful.

2. No trolling

3. No bullying, abuse or personal attacks

4. No racism or hate speech

5. No propaganda or shilling

6. Unreliable news sources may be challenged

Wikipedia articles, personal blogs and fake news sites are not reliable sources of information

Rules for Moderators:

* No need for moderators to manually approve submissions - all submissions automatically approved
* Users will not lose automatic posting rights if their political views don't align with the moderators
* No waiting time to post first submission
* Submissions and comments won't be deleted because of political views of moderators
* Users will not be banned for ridiculous reasons.
* All moderators have an equal say
* Appeals to bans will not be met with a "muted" response, but will be answered
