    Correct, like I say, if they’re questionable, it’s removed, full stop. But for other certain sources, it’s left up to the mod.

    This is also clearly stated in the sidebar:

    “Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.”

    Note the key word “may”. Not will be, may be removed. I think people miss that a lot. I get reports all the time with the reason being “Opinion Article” and I’m like… So?

    Opinion articles can be fine or they can be objectively wrong, I’m not going to remove it just because it’s opinion.

    Now, if the “opinion” is “Russia is doing nothing wrong, Ukraine doesn’t exist, Zelensky’s a Nazi…” Yeah, that shits getting removed with a quickness because it’s propaganda, not because it’s opinion.

      Like I said, it sounds like you’re just not interested in hearing this. Okay.
