Hey guys, here's a quick rule change which will take place as soon as this blog post goes live.
We're now asking that you include the name of the site stories are published from in the description for ALL stories. We understand that users were only required to include the name in the description for a limited number of scenarios, but we are taking a similar note to that of our sister site FilmWatch.
The rule will be included in our guidelines soon enough but here is a draft of what will be included:
===
When writing a story description, always include the name of the website that published the story and quote the actual contents of the description, no matter the type of story.
Example:
A news story from Phandroid can follow any of these styles:
Phandroid write "A new device was released today."
Phandroid: "A new device was released today."
John Doe of Phandroid writes: "A new device was released today."
The supermassive black hole is 40 million times as massive as the sun and powers a quasar that existed 700 million years after the Big Bang.
The OnePlus Watch 2 is touted for having incredible battery life for a Wear OS watch, and that saved me when I forgot the charger on a trip.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.
An important addition to the rules...
Its high time to earn reporting points people ! :P
Finally this is in effect. I was wondering when something like this would happen as the rules before were very vague about this.
What a disappointing change. Going to a less journalistic style is... sigh.
Haha so no more plagiarism.
