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.


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.

It turns out that writing "cum" 420 times isn't accepted as legitimate intel.

Looks like they took the form down. If anyone has a new link, please post it. I've got some creative writing to share with the bigots in Utah.

Damn, ig you missed the party. I shared the link for informational purposes only on a post weeks ago

I'd rather my Tax Dollars go to THAT instead of feeding Starving American Children!

Who cares about if they’re hungry? I just want to talk about their genitalia!!!

Preface: I don't care at all what bathroom anyone uses, just a silly lighthearted comment:

But I do find it a bit funny that the headline mentions 12,000 complaints, but leaves out that only 5 of them were even looked into, lol.

Sensationalism is everywhere, I guess, lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Interesting. I inferred that the vast majority were joke complaints to illuminate how absurd the hot line is just by reading the title.

Sensitivity is everywhere, I guess, lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Read the article. The rest were obvious jokes, and the 5 they thought may be "plausible" didn't result in a substantive complaint.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, obviously. Why did I even bother with that preface, people are just so eager to take everything in the worst possible way, lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I was just trying to alleviate any confusion, cuz your second line made it sound like maybe you thought the rest of the calls weren't even listened to. Muh bad

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I think we need to start breaking the law and self reporting. We'll send in pictures of our junk spewing urine in the wrong room so they'll be sure it's a legitimate complaint.

As a straight guy, I have just walked into the wrong bathroom or chaises a kid into the wrong bathroom more times than I want to admit.
