Mod Announcement Rule 2 Clarification
433
Upvotes
Hello.
This post is simply being made to more clearly define rule 2.
We’ve seen an increasing number of posts that is simply
“[Public figure] said this”
Going forward, a public figure simply saying something will not be considered news. Simply because of the personal view of the person at hand doesn’t make it newsworthy.
For posts like this to be qualify, there needs to be verifiable, actual news behind it, such as :
- A study reporting x amount of something
- A documented event that recently occurred
- New official records
- A significant decision and or action made
**Examples of what doesn't count as news:**
- [Trump touches a nerve while in Ireland by saying reunification would be ‘fantastic’](https://apnews.com/article/trump-ireland-golf-doonbeg-57e48996a3b30a210243b7d7ae66930a) - This would be removed from the subreddit because this is just Trump saying something rather than doing something.
- [Elon Musk calls documentary about him a 'hit piece' after buzzy debut](https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/musk-documentary-reaction-9.7339185) - This would be removed from the subreddit because this is just the opinion of a celebrity.
- [Paramount Slams Mark Ruffalo Merger Attack as ‘Antisemitic,’ Says Company Does Not ‘Tolerate Prejudice of Any Kind’](https://variety.com/2026/film/news/paramount-responds-mark-ruffalo-merger-attack-israel-1236840552/) - Slam journalism ("X slams Y") like this would be removed because it's often just clickbait or ragebait with no substance.
The important part of this is it should verify the news, not verify that someone had said something. So something like
“Politician says people are affected by X” wouldn’t work, but;
“A new study finds D people are affected. Politician respond to what was found” would be significant enough.
This of course applies regardless of the political affiliation or who the person is. There of course could also obviously be exceptions to this case where the statement itself constitutes a major event (like an official announcing a policy change). We will determine that based on context.
As well, the community is also apart on what’s notable. The report function is important for us so we can more easily determine actual news stories.
TLDR : “Famous person said X” isn’t automatically news. There needs to be substantial, provable fact behind the post. Also the community helps with the reporting.
Thank you for your time, and have a good day :3

Doerkson, who won Saturday’s election in a blue wave of 63 seats, is beginning a transition process to replace the BC NDP government that is expected to take several weeks.
The new premier-elect, Lorne Doerkson, says he’s got a full slate of reforms ready to go the moment his government is sworn into office.
Doerkson, who won Saturday’s election in a blue wave of 63 seats, is beginning a transition process to replace the BC NDP government that is expected to take several weeks.
He told media Sunday that his top priority is to launch an independent review into the state of provincial finances and the NDP government’s projected $14 billion deficit.
“I am very concerned about that, and I think British Columbians should be very concerned,” he said.
“You know, we’ve never seen debt grow like this in our province’s history, and it is a significant challenge.”
The Conservatives have promised a core review of government to reduce costs, a freeze on hiring and consultants, and a reduction in the civil service. At the same time, Doerkson has said he will not introduce any new taxes or cut health care spending.
“Let me just be clear: our interest payment is choking our economy and choking British Columbia,” he said. “We have to focus on this, and it will definitely be a focus of my government going forward.”
Interest debt payments have risen to the equivalent of the fourth most expensive ministry in government.

B.C.’s new premier-elect, Lorne Doerkson, says he’s got a full slate of reforms ready to go the moment his government is sworn into office.
Doerkson, who won Saturday’s election in a blue wave of 63 seats, is beginning a transition process to replace the BC NDP government that is expected to take several weeks.
Watch the story below:
He told media Sunday that his top priority is to launch an independent review into the state of provincial finances and the NDP government’s projected $14 billion deficit.
“I am very concerned about that, and I think British Columbians should be very concerned,” he said.
“You know, we’ve never seen debt grow like this in our province’s history, and it is a significant challenge.”
The Conservatives have promised a core review of government to reduce costs, a freeze on hiring and consultants, and a reduction in the civil service. At the same time, Doerkson has said he will not introduce any new taxes or cut health care spending.
“Let me just be clear: our interest payment is choking our economy and choking British Columbia,” he said. “We have to focus on this, and it will definitely be a focus of my government going forward.”
Interest debt payments have risen to the equivalent of the fourth most expensive ministry in government.
Doerkson said he also intends to follow through with a review of hospital emergency room closures within the first 100 days of taking office, working with what he said will be frontline doctors and nurses to come up with a plan to limit ER curtailments.
On legislation, which the Conservative government would likely not be in a place to table until the spring, Doerkson said his top priority is a budget that raises personal income tax exemptions to $32,000 a year, resulting in a $1,000 tax break for most people.
He also pledged to introduce legislation to decouple the municipal and provincial elections, which are now locked into a simultaneous four-year cycle due to defeated Premier David Eby’s decision to call a snap election at the same time.
A functioning Conservative cabinet would need to be in place to issue cabinet orders to cancel the Massey Tunnel project and begin work on a new 10-lane bridge, as an education minister would be required to scrap the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) learning module in schools.
