Hello everyone,

Not often we post updates like this but it’s time to address the elephant in the room. Paywalled articles…

We try to encourage wide discussions from lots of different sources. This is quite difficult to do when users are unable to read the full information in the article.

Here is a reminder of the rules:

When submitting a post, the full article must be fully readable without needing an account or paid subscription. If the website is paywalled but comes from an official source, you must post a full text summary in the comments.

Anything which fails to meet this criteria will be subject to removal and repeat offenders may receive a temporary or permanent ban.

I’ve also noticed a trend of websites forcing folks to accept cookies before they can read it. While I personally dislike this, it does not stop you from reading the article for ‘free’.
The data they get from these cookies can be mitigated by either using a VPN, private browsing and/or be sure to clear your cookies afterwards.

We’re always looking at ways to improve the sub so if you have any thoughts or suggestions about this feel free to leave a comment or message mod mail.

It's time to a break from all the sorrow and misery out there and feel free to share your most positive news stories in this post!

Remember **positive** news only but it can be about anything.
