Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Imagine being stuck behind the fog of a chainsmoking uncle for nearly four hours because you can't overtake him
The folks I know who are big runners would not be able to handle this psychologically, put in an insane amount of work and do everything to take care of your body and make yourself better only to be beaten by a guy who clearly gives no fucks
Is that an exhaustive list? So open defecation, smoking, and stepping on flowers no, but urination, doing lines and kicking ducks yes?
Those ones are covered by a new rule that prohibits unsavory behaviours
Ducks are very savourful tho...
Doing lines, no. Kicking ducks is most certainly on the table though.
That’s Cillian Murphy’s next major role sorted then.
This is the worst thing the Chinese Athletic Association has ever done!
the runner fell foul of a new rule against uncivilized behavior, which prohibited “open defecation, smoking, or trampling on flower beds or green spaces.”
He knows what he needs to do next time to protest.
Tear up a flower bed, and smoke the flowers while he shits on its remains?
I feel like there should be an exception where if you accidentally trample some flowers, but then fertilize them, you don't get disqualified.
This man is a hero.
Maybe not a superhero, but he's definitely qualified to be a folk hero.
Ok, so when is marlboro gonna start sponsoring this dude?
What champ.
So what does this disqualification do? Did he win a prize and they are taking it back?
They disqualified all of the other participants for being a bunch of pansies.
