Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Scotland has had this since 2022 and it's been a great success from what I can gather. There's been some trouble with "hooligans" taking advantage and messing up buses or traveling to other towns to vandalise or pick fights but I think the press and gossips have blown it out of proportion.
Overall, freedom of movement is a good thing, even if there is a small bit of trouble due to it. Young'ns are young'ns and a percentage will cause trouble in some manner regardless of whether they can get about or not.
