It's been a while since we've updated everyone and there's currently no sticky post for easy access to view the rules on mobile so this post will serve as a reminder and go into more detail about our submission rules - hopefully answering any questions you might have. Please read the subreddit rules here if you haven't already. Beyond what's listed in the official rules, you must also abide by Reddit's terms of service and site-wide rules.

Submission Rules

1. No spam or self-promotional posts - This one is pretty straight forward. We do not allow people to post articles from sites they own, help run, or are writers for. We also do not allow spamming single sources. If the majority of your posts are from one or two sources, you could be banned. Blogs are also not allowed. We also do not allow URL shorteners like bit.ly. Apple News and amp links will be removed.
2. News submissions only - This subreddit is only for US news. We do not allow opinion/analysis pieces, fact checking, wiki pages, crowdfunding, memes, text posts, videos, etc. The big ones here are opinion/analysis pieces. They get submitted a lot. If you are unsure if something falls under this category, feel free to reach out to the mods. If a headline contains a question or has opinion in it, it's probably running against this rule.
3. Do not editorialize headlines - The headline of your reddit post must match the headline of the article you posted exactly as it appears in the article. Do not add your own thoughts, a question, or even another sentence from somewhere else in the article to it. If the link you're posting does not have a clear headline, then you probably need to find another source.
4. No politics - We do not allow politics on this sub. There are plenty of communities that focus on US politics. This is not one of them. We may sometimes allow major US political news, but this is up to moderator discretion. And when it happens, it will only be for huge things like Presidential Election results or maybe a SCOTUS decision.
5. Only legitimate news sources - Posts should be from recognizable and reliable news sources. No blogs, no unknown news sites. Most mainstream sources are fine (e.g. AP News, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, NBC, CBS, The BBC, any major newspaper site, etc.). However, if the news being posted is local/State news, we will also allow local news websites that are reporting on the news.

When it comes to discussion in the comments, all that we ask is that there is no personal attacks against other users (no matter who started the argument), no racism, no homophobia or other kinds of bigotry. Mods cannot read every single comment every day - especially in larger threads. So if you see someone violating the conduct rules, please report them to us. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the mod team.
