I can't seem to find anything in a sidebar or sticky thread that talks about the moderation / rules of the news community. I'm very interested in coming to this community to learn about news, but right now it seems whats being posted tends to be relatively low (lower?) quality.

Examples of common rules

Use the same titles as the article itself
No blog spam, link to the source
Political news, should go to the political community
No dupes of same topic

As an example, take a look at other news aggregators that focus on news.

My goal here isn't tell people what to do but its start a conversation on the topic.

and I am sure it’s possible to put a political spin on almost anything if you want The US is demonstrating that right now. Everything is over politicised these days.
