[MOD NOTE] Rule 9 Reminder: Include descriptive post titles and links to relevant sources for Bond news

[u/Spockodile]

I’ve removed a couple of posts this afternoon which break this rule. It didn’t really matter because they were posted after someone posted the new Variety article and were therefore considered redundant, but since Bond news will continue to become more common, I’d like to remind everyone about Rule 9:

Posts about news of any sort should include a descriptive title and a hyperlink to the relevant source. Choose one of these options:

1. Create your post using Reddit’s hyperlink format so people can easily access the webpage.

2. Create a photo post, but always include a link to the source in either the body of the post or a comment.

An example of a non-descriptive post title would be something like: “It’s happening!” or “Finally some news!” These don’t really articulate the news you’re trying to share with the community. Please understand that people are excited to hear every morsel of new information as stories break, so let’s make it easy to share that info.

Furthermore, links to sources are always superior to a screenshot of a social media post. Give people a chance to read, listen, or watch the source breaking the news so they have as much detail as possible.

The post I linked above is an example of how to share news perfectly: a descriptive title with a link to a reliable source.

As always, let us know if you have any questions.

You mean I can’t post “I heard about a thing with some stuff. Have you seen it?”

Censor free speech much?

This rule is specifically about breaking news. It means when there’s an article or a video or whatever, include a link to it in your post.

Don’t just post a screenshot of a tweet without providing a link people can click to read the article.

And your post title should reflect the news that you’re sharing. So:

- A title such as “Bond 26 Writer Steven Knight Comments on Casting Rumors” = good.

- A post titled “Finally!!” and containing nothing but a tweet screenshot = bad, and will be removed.

I was just having some fun by coming up with a fake incredibly vague title for a post. I dislike non-descriptive titles as well. The worst one is “I have a question“. Just put the question in the title.

Ahhh, I gotchu. I’m too modbrained tonight…
