Guidelines - Read Before Posting (Updated 12th April 2017)

[Lebofly]

Hello! With the recent political shitstorm, we've been receiving a lot
of rubbish reports from this forum so I'd like to take this opportunity
to streamline the posting guidelines for this section. The following
serves as a guide and is by no means exhaustive.

As of 2nd April 2017, we now have a subforum for the discussion of
Political issues. This is a temporary measure and if it doesn't work,
all threads will be reverted back to SH.

Reporting & Posting Guidelines

We expect you to put effort into your posts, ensuring that they
contribute positively to the current discussion. If you make a joke, it
must be appropriate.

Facepunch is accepting of differing opinions. Please don't report people for "flaming / trolling" just because you disagree with them. We will ban people for flippant reports.

The overall aim of our moderation policy is to promote discussion in a
manner that is balanced and fair to all. If you have issues with how
this is conducted, please feel free to contact me via PM.

Thread Creation Guidelines

You must be able to produce an accessible source that is reliable and no
more than 2 weeks old. It must not duplicate an existing thread and
must be named appropriately (no editorialisation or tags please!). Do
not use tabloid sources.

Do not copy and paste the entire article. Post a helpful snippet of the article to provide an overview and link to the rest.

Opinion pieces are not news.

Ratings

These have been re-enabled in this forum. I expect you to use them
appropriately and be sensible. If you rate a school shooting as "funny"
like some kind of 12 year old edge lord, you are going to be banned.

If you see somebody being an idiot with ratings, contact a Moderator by
PM. Don't post about it in the thread; these will be treated as
derailing and off topic.

High Profile Breaking Stories

In the event of a high profile breaking story the moderators will
nominate a thread and temporarily sticky it, closing the rest. It is
expected that the author will keep the OP up to date with the latest
events in a prompt and impartial manner. If you don't think you are
capable of doing this, please don't create a HPBS thread.

You can help update the OP by providing timestamped updates with verifiable sources, for example;
